Goodyear, Bowdoin College Museum of Art SPECIAL LOAN EXHIBITION Drawn Together Five Centuries of Drawings from the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Brunswick, Maine january 24–february 1 Drawing has long been a linchpin of the artistic process, an essential method to record observations, translate perceptions across media, and explore new insights. Drawn Together: Five Centuries of Drawing from the Bowdoin College Museum of Art includes highlights from the Museum’s rich collection of drawings, the first such public collection in the United States. The exhibition examines the important role of drawing as a creative practice, from envisioning new works such as paintings, etchings, murals, and tapestries, to exploring new tools and techniques, to reflecting on the practice itself. Included in the exhibition are some of the first Old Master drawings collected in America, including works from the school of Raphael, by Abraham Jansz. van Diepenbeeck, and by Dirk Vellert, together with drawings of 19th century American masters such as Winslow Homer and Elihu Vedder, and works by contemporary artists including Nancy Grossman, Titus Kaphar, Alex Katz, and The Fine Arts Building Edda Renouf. 22 East 80th Street New York, NY 10075 Elihu Vedder (American, 1836–1923) “Natura”: Detail of Head (head of Natura), ca. 1893, pastel, crayon, and graphite on Exhibition sponsored in part by brown wove paper Gift of The American Academy of Arts and Peter Bownes-Johnson, Partner, Letters, Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Private Clients, Vizion Insurance Brokers Brunswick, Maine Master Drawings New York 2020 introduction special loan exhibition Drawn Together Five Centuries of Drawings from the Bowdoin College Museum of Art the act of drawing, the simplicity of republic for the fostering of enlightened the medium and the tools involved—perhaps ideals.

  • Dino Rosin Fine Art Sculptor in Glass;
    Dino Rosin Fine Art Sculptor in Glass; By Debbie Tarsitano This past January I was privileged to teach encased flamework design at the Corning Museum School’s Studio. Before traveling to Corning I looked through the course catalogue to see who else was teaching during the week I would be there. There was the name, “Dino Rosin,” and his class “solid sculpture.” As I looked at the small photo of his work in the Corning catalogue, I thought to myself, “I wished I could take his class.” That lone picture in the Corning catalogue told me that here was an artist who understood the true meaning of sculpture. Dino Rosin was born in Venice, Italy on May 30, 1948 and his family moved to the island of Murano while he was still a baby. At age 12 Dino left school to work as an apprentice at the prestigious Barovier and Toso glassworks. In 1963 at age 15, Dino joined his older brothers Loredano and Mirco in their own glass studio “Artvet.” Two years later Loredano and Dino joined Egidio Costantini of Fucina Degli Angeli; while working at this renowned studio, Dino and Loredano collaborated with Picasso and other well-known artists of the time. In 1975, Loredano Rosin opened his own studio and Dino, then aged 27, joined his brother’s new venture, supporting him whole-heartedly. Dino progressed and matured as an artist as he worked alongside his brother Loredano to keep the studio strong. Dino perfected his skills in every area of the studio from mixing batch, the raw materials of glass making, to creating new designs.

  • Evidence That Leonardo Da Vinci Had Strabismus
    Confidential: Embargoed Until 11:00 am ET, October 18, 2018. Do Not Distribute Research JAMA Ophthalmology | Brief Report Evidence That Leonardo da Vinci Had Strabismus Christopher W. Tyler, PhD, DSc Supplemental content IMPORTANCE Strabismus is a binocular vision disorder characterized by the partial or complete inability to maintain eye alignment on the object that is the target of fixation, usually accompanied by suppression of the deviating eye and consequent 2-dimensional monocular vision. This cue has been used to infer the presence of strabismus in a substantial number of famous artists. OBJECTIVE To provide evidence that Leonardo da Vinci had strabismus. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In exotropia, the divergent eye alignment is typically manifested as an outward shift in the locations of the pupils within the eyelid aperture. The condition was assessed by fitting circles and ellipses to the pupils, irises, and eyelid apertures images identified as portraits of Leonardo da Vinci and measuring their relative positions. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Geometric angle of alignment of depicted eyes. RESULTS This study assesses 6 candidate images, including 2 sculptures, 2 oil paintings, and 2 drawings. The mean relative alignments of the pupils in the eyelid apertures (where divergence is indicated by negative numbers) showed estimates of −13.2° in David,−8.6° in Salvator Mundi,−9.1° in Young John the Baptist,−12.5° in Young Warrior, 5.9° in Vitruvian Man, and −8.3° in an elderly self-portrait. These findings are consistent with exotropia (t5 = 2.69; P = .04, 2-tailed). Author Affiliation: Division of Optometry and Vision Sciences, School of Health Sciences, City CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The weight of converging evidence leads to the suggestion University of London, London, that da Vinci had intermittent exotropia with the resulting ability to switch to monocular United Kingdom.

  • The Encounter of the Emblematic Tradition with Optics the Anamorphic Elephant of Simon Vouet
    Nuncius 31 (2016) 288–331 brill.com/nun The Encounter of the Emblematic Tradition with Optics The Anamorphic Elephant of Simon Vouet Susana Gómez López* Faculty of Philosophy, Complutense University, Madrid, Spain [email protected] Abstract In his excellent work Anamorphoses ou perspectives curieuses (1955), Baltrusaitis con- cluded the chapter on catoptric anamorphosis with an allusion to the small engraving by Hans Tröschel (1585–1628) after Simon Vouet’s drawing Eight satyrs observing an ele- phantreflectedonacylinder, the first known representation of a cylindrical anamorpho- sis made in Europe. This paper explores the Baroque intellectual and artistic context in which Vouet made his drawing, attempting to answer two central sets of questions. Firstly, why did Vouet make this image? For what purpose did he ideate such a curi- ous image? Was it commissioned or did Vouet intend to offer it to someone? And if so, to whom? A reconstruction of this story leads me to conclude that the cylindrical anamorphosis was conceived as an emblem for Prince Maurice of Savoy. Secondly, how did what was originally the project for a sophisticated emblem give rise in Paris, after the return of Vouet from Italy in 1627, to the geometrical study of catoptrical anamor- phosis? Through the study of this case, I hope to show that in early modern science the emblematic tradition was not only linked to natural history, but that insofar as it was a central feature of Baroque culture, it seeped into other branches of scientific inquiry, in this case the development of catoptrical anamorphosis. Vouet’s image is also a good example of how the visual and artistic poetics of the baroque were closely linked – to the point of being inseparable – with the scientific developments of the period.

The profile view shows a protruding brow, nose, and mouth, and the hair falls in heavy masses. • Auguste Rodin made this sculpture as part of a major commission for a monument to Balzac. He began working on the commission in 1891 and spent seven more years on it. Neither the head nor the body of Rodin’s sculpture conformed to critical or public expectations for a commemorative monument, including a realistic portrait likeness. Consequently, another artist ultimately got the commission.
