    Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary 11 February – 13 May 2012 The Mint Museum 1 COVER Gordon Onslow Ford, Le Vallee, Switzerland, circa 1938 Photograph by Elisabeth Onslow Ford, courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation FIGURE 1 Sketch for Escape, October 1939 gouache on paper Photograph courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation Gordon Onslow Ford: Voyager and Visionary As a young midshipman in the British Royal Navy, Gordon Onslow Ford (1912-2003) welcomed standing the night watch on deck, where he was charged with determining the ship’s location by using a sextant to take readings from the stars. Although he left the navy, the experience of those nights at sea may well have been the starting point for the voyages he was to make in his painting over a lifetime, at first into a fabricated symbolic realm, and even- tually into the expanding spaces he created on his canvases. The trajectory of Gordon Onslow Ford’s voyages began at his birth- place in Wendover, England and led to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and to three years at sea as a junior officer in the Mediterranean and Atlantic fleets of the British Navy. He resigned from the navy in order to study art in Paris, where he became the youngest member of the pre-war Surrealist group. At the start of World War II, he returned to England for active duty. While in London awaiting a naval assignment, he organized a Surrealist exhibition and oversaw the publication of Surrealist poetry and artworks that had been produced the previous summer in France (fig.
  • Reconsidering the Female Monster in the Art of Leonor Fini

    Reconsidering the Female Monster in the Art of Leonor Fini

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository Sphinxes, Witches and Little Girls: Reconsidering the Female Monster in the Art of Leonor Fini Rachael Grew Abstract As champions of the irrational and the uncanny, the Surrealists frequently incorporated classical monsters into their art as part of their search for a new modern myth. However, these creatures became subject to gender codification, with the sphinx and chimera in particular becoming attached to the imagery surrounding the sexually provocative, castrating femme-fatale. The woman Surrealist Leonor Fini (1907-1996) diverged from the Surrealist norm to create complex and ambiguous monsters, rather than simply expressions of the lethally enticing femme-fatale. Fini uses a range of monsters in her art, from the classical sphinx to creatures of popular culture, such as the witch and the werewolf. These monsters are almost always female, or at the very least androgynous, yet the actions and attitudes they are found in invites a new reading of the destructive female monster and/or the ‘monstrous’ female. Equally, the children and adolescent girls that appear in her work are often depicted in a negative light: they are ugly, unkind and selfish. Through a detailed iconographical analysis, this paper will explore Fini’s use of both traditional and non-traditional monsters as a method of subverting preconceived gender and social codes, ultimately reconsidering the notion of what exactly is monstrous. Key words: Surrealism, Fini, myth, monsters, sphinx, witch, stryge, woman. ***** The female monster in both classical and popular traditions, such as the sphinx, chimera, siren and witch, is frequently associated with depraved sexuality and destruction.

    Joseph Albers (Bottrop 1888 – New Haven 1976)

    Joseph Albers (Bottrop 1888 – New Haven 1976) “Facile – sapere che i diamanti sono preziosi Bene – imparare che i rubini sono profondi più difficile – vedere che un sassolino è un miracolo”. Cenni biografici Pittore, grafico, designer tedesco, Joseph Albers comincia ad insegnare a Lagenhorst in Germania nel 1908, continuando a studiare fino agli anni Venti: prima a Essen e a Berlino per imparare le tecniche a stampa; poi disegno a Monaco come allievo di Franz von Stuck. Nel 1920, s’iscrive al Bauhaus di Weimar, dove segue i corsi di Johannes Itten e si specializza con un percorso autonomo nella pittura su vetro. È in quegli anni che disegna una serie di vetrate e mobili per Walter Gropius, direttore del medesimo istituto. Quando Itten lascia il Bauhaus, Albers prende il suo posto tenendo corsi sul design, l’architettura d’interni e i materiali. Nel 1925, dopo essersi trasferito con la moglie Anni a Dessau, è nominato Professore al Bauhaus. Dal 1926 alla seconda Guerra Mondiale, produce oggettistica e arredo, continuando ad insegnare e viaggiando per conferenze e mostre in Germania e Europa. Nel 1930, è vicedirettore del Bauhaus presieduto dal 1928 da Hannes Meyer, che gli organizza nel 1932 la prima monografica dei suoi lavori su vetro. È nel 1935 che produce i suoi primi oli astratti, dopo che la guerra lo obbliga ad espatriare in America. Continua ad insegnare, inizialmente al Black Mountain College nel North Carolina (di cui diventa rettore nel 1948), mentre comincia a viaggiare in Sudamerica (soprattutto in Messico). Dal 1950, si sposta in molte università americane come “visiting professor” e dà vita alla celebre serie di Omaggi al quadrato.

    Drawing Surrealism Didactics 10.22.12.Pdf

    ^ Drawing Surrealism Didactics Drawing Surrealism is the first-ever large-scale exhibition to explore the significance of drawing and works on paper to surrealist innovation. Although launched initially as a literary movement with the publication of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism in 1924, surrealism quickly became a cultural phenomenon in which the visual arts were central to envisioning the world of dreams and the unconscious. Automatic drawings, exquisite corpses, frottage, decalcomania, and collage are just a few of the drawing-based processes invented or reinvented by surrealists as means to tap into the subconscious realm. With surrealism, drawing, long recognized as the medium of exploration and innovation for its use in studies and preparatory sketches, was set free from its associations with other media (painting notably) and valued for its intrinsic qualities of immediacy and spontaneity. This exhibition reveals how drawing, often considered a minor medium, became a predominant mode of expression and innovation that has had long-standing repercussions in the history of art. The inclusion of drawing-based projects by contemporary artists Alexandra Grant, Mark Licari, and Stas Orlovski, conceived specifically for Drawing Surrealism , aspires to elucidate the diverse and enduring vestiges of surrealist drawing. Drawing Surrealism is also the first exhibition to examine the impact of surrealist drawing on a global scale . In addition to works from well-known surrealist artists based in France (André Masson, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, among them), drawings by lesser-known artists from Western Europe, as well as from countries in Eastern Europe and the Americas, Great Britain, and Japan, are included.

  • Williams Percussion Ensemble Noise/Signal

    Williams Percussion Ensemble Noise/Signal

    Williams Percussion Ensemble Noise/Signal We call “noise” any undesirable signal in the transmission of a message through a channel, and we use this term for all types of perturbation, whether the message is sonic or visual. Thus shocks, crackling, and atmospherics are noises in radio transmission. A white or black spot on a television screen, a gray fog, some dashes not belonging to the transmitted message, a spot of ink on a newspaper, a tear in a page of a book, a colored spot on a picture are “noises” in visual messages. A rumor without foundation is a “noise” in a sociological message. At first sight, it may seem that the distinction between “noise” and “signal” is easily made on the basis of the distinction between order and disorder. A signal appears to be essentially an ordered phenomenon while crackling, or atmospherics, are disordered phenomena, formless blotches on a structured picture of sound. However, there is no absolute structural difference between noise and signal. They are of the same nature. The only difference which can be logically established between them is based exclusively on the concept of intent on the part of the transmitter: A noise is a signal that the sender does not want to transmit. Or, more generally: A noise is a sound we do not want to hear. — Abraham Moles, from Information Theory and Esthetic Perception In the ordered world of Western art music, percussion has long been employed to bring in the noise. The bulk of the percussion family is in fact comprised of instruments that produce noise rather than tone.

    151 Toward a New “Human Consciousness”: The Exhibition “Adventures in Surrealist Painting During the Last Four Years” at the New School for Social Research in New York, March 1941 Caterina Caputo On January 6, 1941, the New School for Social Research Bulletin announced a series of forthcoming surrealist exhibitions and lectures (fig. 68): “Surrealist Painting: An Adventure into Human Consciousness; 4 sessions, alternate Wednesdays. Far more than other modern artists, the Surrea- lists have adventured in tapping the unconscious psychic world. The aim of these lectures is to follow their work as a psychological baro- meter registering the desire and impulses of the community. In a series of exhibitions contemporaneous with the lectures, recently imported original paintings are shown and discussed with a view to discovering underlying ideas and impulses. Drawings on the blackboard are also used, and covered slides of work unavailable for exhibition.”1 From January 22 to March 19, on the third floor of the New School for Social Research at 66 West Twelfth Street in New York City, six exhibitions were held presenting a total of thirty-six surrealist paintings, most of which had been recently brought over from Europe by the British surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford,2 who accompanied the shows with four lectures.3 The surrealist events, arranged by surrealists themselves with the help of the New School for Social Research, had 1 New School for Social Research Bulletin, no. 6 (1941), unpaginated. 2 For additional biographical details related to Gordon Onslow Ford, see Harvey L.
