    Creator: Malevich, Kazimir, Russian, 1878- 1935 Title: Knife Grinder Date: 1912-1913 Creator: Umberto Boccioni, Italian, 1882-1916 Title: Dynamism of a Soccer Player Work Type: Painting Date: 1913 Cubo-Futurism • A common theme I have been seeing in the different Cubo- Futurism Paintings is a wide variety of color and either solid formations or a high amount of single colors blended or layered without losing the original color. I sense of movement is also very big, the Knife Grinder shows the action of grinding by a repeated image of the hand, knife, or foot on paddle to show each moment of movement. The solid shapes and designs tho individually may not seem relevant to a human figure all come together to show the act of sharpening a knife. I Love this piece because of the strong colors and repeated imagery to show the act. • In the Dynamism of a soccer player the sense of movement is sort of around and into the center, I can imagine a great play of lights and crystal clarity of the ideas of the objects moving. I almost feel like this is showing not just one moment or one movement but perhaps an entire soccer game in the scope of the 2D canvas. Creator: Demuth, Charles, 1883-1935 Title: Aucassin and Nicolette Date: 1921 Creator: Charles Demuth Title: My Egypt Work Type: Paintings Date: 1927 Precisionism • Precisionism is the idea of making an artwork of another “artwork” as in a piece of architecture , or machinery. The artist renders the structure using very geometric and precise lines and they tend to keep an element of realism in their work.

  • Guggenheim Museum Archives Reel-To-Reel Collection “Post Object Sculpture” with Jack Burnham, 1967 Good Afternoon, Ladies An
    Guggenheim Museum Archives Reel-to-Reel collection “Post Object Sculpture” with Jack Burnham, 1967 MALE 1 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third in a series of lectures on contemporary sculpture, presented by the museum on the occasion of the Fifth Guggenheim International Exhibition. Today’s lecture is by Mr. Jack Wesley Burnham. Mr. Burnham is an individual who combines the extraordinary qualities of being both artist and scientist, as well as writer. He was born in 1931 in New York City. He studied at the Boston Museum School, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He holds an engineering degree. He holds the degrees of Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from Yale University, at which institution he was on the faculty. [00:01:00] And he’s at present a professor at Northwestern University. He is the author of a major new study of modern sculpture, to be published next year by Braziller in New York, entitled Beyond Modern Sculpture. His lecture today is entitled, “Post-Object Sculpture.” After the lecture, there will be a short question-and-answer period. Mr. Burnham. JACK BURNHAM Mr. [Fry?], I’d like to thank you for inviting me. And I’d like to [00:02:00] thank all of you for being here today. I’m going to read part of this lecture, and part of it will be fairly extemporaneous. But I’d like to begin by saying that I find the task of speaking on post- object sculpture difficult for two reasons. First, because the rationale behind object sculpture and the art form itself have developed to such a sophisticated degree in the past two years.

    English Department Graduate Course Descriptions Spring 2011 ENGL 529-61 (HC 629-61) Sensation Literature Dr. Laura Engel T 6:00-8:40 Crime, secrets, hidden identities, madness, passion, suspense, these are just some of the elements that characterize the genre of sensation literature, a form of popular entertainment that can be traced back to the origins of the gothic novel in the mid eighteenth century. This course will trace the development of sensation literature from 1764 through the late nineteenth century. Using a range of materials including novels, plays, portraits, early photographs, newspapers, and medical tracts, we will explore how and why readers became obsessed with tales of mystery, the supernatural, and the irrational. Readings will include Horace Walpole’s The Castle Of Otranto, Eliza Parson’s The Castle of Wolfenbach, Ann Radcliffe’s The Italian, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Joanna Baillie’s Orra, Matthew Lewis’s The Castle Spectre, Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s Lady Audley’s Secret, Wilkie Collins’s The Woman in White, and critical articles by Terry Castle, Catherine Spooner, Diane Long Holever, Jeffrey Cox, Peter Brooks, and others. ENGL 536-61 (HC 636-61) Victorian Novel: Text and Theory Dr. Laura Callanan M 6:00-8:40 In this course we will read a wide range of novels from the period, paying particular attention to questions of form and genre. To that end, primary texts will include novels that present particularly intriguing examples of formal innovation. In addition, we will read a range of historical and theoretical discussion about the rise, development, and sociopolitical aims of the novel, and bring those readings to bear on our primary texts.

Hillier Committee Members, Tim McLaughin Dennie Smith Head of Department, Tim McLaughlin August 2009 Major Subject: Visualization Sciences iii ABSTRACT Using Precisionism Within American Modern Art as Stylistic Inspiration for 3D Digital Works. (August 2009) Douglas Ryan Bell, B.E.D., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Prof. Karen E. Hillier This thesis presents the analysis of artistic techniques of paintings from the Precisionist movement and the implementation of the results of the analysis in the creation of three new works of art using digital media. Artists working in digital media express features of pre-digital artistic movements with varying degrees of adherence to principles, intentions, and awareness. This thesis seeks to create a bridge between the recognition of common features of Precisionist works and the expression of those elements in new works through the use of a system of analysis, interpretation, and translation. One outcome of this thesis is the description of a methodology for interpretation and translation that can be applied to other art movements.
