Northern Early Modern Diptychs and Triptychs “Flemish painting will, generally speaking, please the devout better than any painting of Italy, which will never cause him to shed a tear, whereas that of Flanders will cause him to shed many…. It will appeal to…the very old and the very young,… and to certain noblemen who have no sense of true [artistic] harmony. In Flanders they paint with a view to deceiving sensual vision…. They paint stuffs and masonry, the grass of the fields , the shadows of trees, and rivers…. And all this though it pleases some persons, is done without reason or art, without symmetry or proportion, without skill, selection or boldness, and finally without substance or vigor. And I do not speak so ill of Flemish painting because it is all bad, but because it attempts to do so many things well, that it does none well.” Michelangelo on Flemish Painting http://arthistoryresources.net/renaissance-art-theory-2014/michelangelo-on-painting.html The Merode Altarpiece by Robert Campin, oil on panel, 1426 http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/470304 Western “Royal” portal , Chartres Cathedral, Chartres, France, 12th ce Diptychs and Triptychs Bibaut Diptych Master of the Magdalen and Anon.

Reciprocal Desire in the Seventeenth Century
CHAPTER 8 The Painting Looks Back: Reciprocal Desire in the Seventeenth Century Thijs Weststeijn The ancients attributed the invention of painting to an act of love: Butades’s daughter tracing her lover’s shadow on a wall, according to Pliny.1 Likewise, the greatest works were deemed to spring from the artist’s infatuation with his model, from Apelles and Campaspe to Raphael and his Fornarina.2 Ever since Ovid’s Ars amatoria, the art of love had been seen as a discipline more refined than the art of painting, which the Romans did not discuss with similar sophistication. By the late sixteenth century, however, courtiers’ literature had become a conduit between poetic and artistic endeavours, ensuring that the nuanced vocabulary of amorous talk affected the theory of painting.3 In Italian and Dutch sources, both the making and the appreciation of art were described in terms of the lover’s interest in a woman: Dame Pictura. She was a vrijster met vele vrijers: a lady with a host of swains, in the words of the artists’ biographer Cornelis de Bie.4 True artists came to their trade by falling helplessly in love The research resulting in this article was sponsored by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. 1 Bie Cornelis de, Het gulden cabinet van de edel vry schilderconst (Antwerp, Meyssens van Monfort: 1661) 23. 2 Hoogstraten Samuel van, Inleyding tot de hooge schoole der schilderkonst (Rotterdam, Van Hoogstraten: 1678) 291: ‘Urbijn, toen hy verlieft was; Venus deede hem Venus op het schoonst ten toon brengen […] Het geen onmooglijk schijnt kan de liefde uitvoeren, want de geesten zijn wakkerst in verliefde zinnen’.

I work seven days a week. But I get by Warhol’s assistants in two rooms: the main gallery and an adjacent office. replication of a seemingly abstract gesture (a jagged peak and horizontal the most done on weekends because during the week people keep coming by extension) across the panels of Shadows further minimizes the potential to talk. The all-encompassing (if modular) scale of Shadows simultaneously recalls to ascribe any narrative logic to Warhol’s work. Rather, as he dryly explained, The painting(s) can’t be bought.

Dositheos Notaras, the Patriarch of Jerusalem (1669-1707), Confronts the Challenges of Modernity
IN SEARCH OF A CONFESSIONAL IDENTITY: DOSITHEOS NOTARAS, THE PATRIARCH OF JERUSALEM (1669-1707), CONFRONTS THE CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Christopher George Rene IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser Theofanis G. Stavrou SEPTEMBER 2020 © Christopher G Rene, September 2020 i Acknowledgements Without the steadfast support of my teachers, family and friends this dissertation would not have been possible, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to express my deep debt of gratitude and thank them all. I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, who together guided me through to the completion of this dissertation. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou provided a resourceful outlet by helping me navigate through administrative channels and stay on course academically. Moreover, he fostered an inviting space for parrhesia with vigorous dialogue and intellectual tenacity on the ideas of identity, modernity, and the role of Patriarch Dositheos. It was in fact Professor Stavrou who many years ago at a Slavic conference broached the idea of an Orthodox Commonwealth that inspired other academics and myself to pursue the topic. Professor Carla Phillips impressed upon me the significance of daily life among the people of Europe during the early modern period (1450-1800). As Professor Phillips’ teaching assistant for a number of years, I witnessed lectures that animated the historical narrative and inspired students to question their own unique sense of historical continuity and discontinuities. Thank you, Professor Phillips, for such a pedagogical example.

NO RAMBLING ON: the LISTLESS COWBOYS of HORSE Jon Davies
WARHOL pages_BFI 25/06/2013 10:57 Page 108 If Andy Warhol’s queer cinema of the 1960s allowed for a flourishing of newly articulated sexual and gender possibilities, it also fostered a performative dichotomy: those who command the voice and those who do not. Many of his sound films stage a dynamic of stoicism and loquaciousness that produces a complex and compelling web of power and desire. The artist has summed the binary up succinctly: ‘Talk ers are doing something. Beaut ies are being something’ 1 and, as Viva explained about this tendency in reference to Warhol’s 1968 Lonesome Cowboys : ‘Men seem to have trouble doing these nonscript things. It’s a natural 5_ 10 2 for women and fags – they ramble on. But straight men can’t.’ The brilliant writer and progenitor of the Theatre of the Ridiculous Ronald Tavel’s first two films as scenarist for Warhol are paradigmatic in this regard: Screen Test #1 and Screen Test #2 (both 1965). In Screen Test #1 , the performer, Warhol’s then lover Philip Fagan, is completely closed off to Tavel’s attempts at spurring him to act out and to reveal himself. 3 According to Tavel, he was so up-tight. He just crawled into himself, and the more I asked him, the more up-tight he became and less was recorded on film, and, so, I got more personal about touchy things, which became the principle for me for the next six months. 4 When Tavel turned his self-described ‘sadism’ on a true cinematic superstar, however, in Screen Test #2 , the results were extraordinary.

MEDIEVAL and EARLY RENAISSANCE Anonymous
MEDIEVAL AND EARLY RENAISSANCE Anonymous (French) Illuminated page from a Psalter in Latin, ca. 1200-1210 Ink, Pigments and gold on parchment 2002.15 Gilbreath-McLorn Fund This page comes from a Psalter, a bound collection of the 150 Psalms, which provided medieval readers with tools for private and communal devotions. Stylistically, this leaf resembles other manuscripts produced in Northeastern France, Paris and England during the reign of the French monarch Philip Augustus (1179-1223). The script is written in a Gothic liturgical hand, and the large illuminated initials and painted line-endings were created at the same time as the text. The Verso linear penwork in-fills and flourishes were probably added after 1250. The high quality of the decoration, together with the lavish use of gold and lapis blue, indicates that this page comes from a book made for a member of the royal court or a high- ranking cleric.

The guides are supplementary in design, containing a series of episodes (minilessons) that reinforce the relationships between ecology and mathematics. It is the teacher's decision when the episodes may best be integrated into the existing classroom curriculum. The episodes are built around 12 major environmental concepts that form a framework for each grade or subject area, as well as for the entire K-12 program. Although the same concepts are used throughout the K-12 program, emphasis is placed on different aspects of each concept at different grade levels or subject levels. This guide focuses on aspects such as proportion, computation, and percent. The 12 concepts are covered in one of the episodes contained in the guide. Further, each episode offers subject area integration, subject area activities, interdisciplinary activities, cognitive and affective behavioral objectives, and suggested references and resource materials useful to teachers and students.

Press Release (PDF)
G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y 14 December 2015 My camera and I, together we have the power to confer or to take away. —Richard Avedon They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. —Andy Warhol Gagosian London is pleased to present the first major exhibition to pair works by Richard Avedon and Andy Warhol. Both artists rose to prominence in postwar America with parallel artistic output that occasionally overlapped. Their most memorable images, produced in response to changing cultural mores, are icons of the twentieth century. Portraiture was a shared focus of both artists, and they made use of repetition and serialization: Avedon through the reproducible medium of photography, and in his group photographs, for which he meticulously positioned, collaged, and reordered images; Warhol in his method of stacked screenprinting, which enabled the consistent reproduction of an image. Avedon’s distinctive gelatin-silver prints and Warhol's boldly colored silkscreens variously depict many of the same recognizable faces, including Marella Agnelli, Bianca Jagger, Jacqueline Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Rudolf Nureyev. Both Avedon and Warhol originated from modest beginnings and had tremendous commercial success working for major magazines in New York, beginning in the 1940s. The 1960s marked artistic turning points for both artists as they moved away increasingly from strictly commercial work towards their mature independent styles. The works in the exhibition, which date from the 1950s through the 1990s, emphasize such common themes as social and political power; the evolving acceptance of cultural differences; the inevitability of mortality; and the glamour and despair of celebrity.

One of the most economically developed and culturally rich areas of Europe, it was ruled by the Dukes of Burgundy and subsequently by the Habsburgs, its wealth founded on the manufacture of high quality textiles and international trade. Cosmopolitan and enterprising, the great Flemish cities of Bruges and Ghent fostered developments that shaped the course of history, from international banking and the rise of printing to the Protestant Reformation. These cities were also centres of artistic innovation. It was here that in the early fifteenth century Jan van Eyck, through the meticulous observation of reality and the skilful manipulation of oil paint – an ‘optical revolution’, no less – developed a naturalistic pictorial language that was to influence artists as far afield as Italy. A second, parallel, approach was pioneered by Roger van der Weyden, based largely in Brussels, whose work, no less technically accomplished, strove for a more spiritual presentation of sacred narratives. Both men came to influence subsequent generations with Hugo van der Goes in Ghent and above all, Hans Memling in Bruges, at the forefront of later developments.
