  • Art on the Page
    Art on the page Toward a modern illustrated book When Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard issued his first publication, Parallèlement, in 1900, a collection of poems by Paul Verlaine illustrated with lithographs by Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard, he ushered in a new form of illustrated book to mark the new century. In the following decades, he and other entrepreneurial art publishers such as Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler and Albert Skira would take advantage of a widening pool of book collectors interested in modern art by producing deluxe books that featured original prints by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, André Derain and others. These books are generally referred to as livres des artistes and, unlike the fine press publications produced by the Kelmscott Press, the Doves Press or Ashendene Press, the earliest examples were distinguished by their modernity. Breon Mitchell, in his introduction to Beyond illustration, argues that the livre d’artiste can be differentiated from the traditional book in several respects: The illustrations are, in each case, original works of art (woodcuts, lithographs, etchings, engravings) executed by the artist himself and printed under his supervision. The book thus contains original graphics of the kind which find their place on museum walls … The livre d’artiste is also defined by the stature of the artist. Virtually every major painter and sculptor of the twentieth century—Picasso, Braque, Ernst, Matisse, Kokoschka, Barlach, Miró, to name a few—has collaborated in the creation of one or more such works. In many cases, book illustration has occupied such an important place in the total oeuvre of the artist that no student of art history can safely ignore it.

  • Surrealist Masculinities
    UC-Lyford.qxd 3/21/07 12:44 PM Page 15 CHAPTER ONE Anxiety and Perversion in Postwar Paris ans Bellmer’s photographs of distorted and deformed dolls from the early 1930s seem to be quintessential examples of surrealist misogyny (see Fig. 4). Their violently erotic Hreorganization of female body parts into awkward wholes typifies the way in which surrealist artists and writers manipulated and objectified femininity in their work. Bellmer’s manipulation and reconstruction of the female form also encourage comparison with the mutilation and reconstruction that prevailed across Europe during World War I. By viewing the dolls in this context, we might see their distorted forms as a displacement of male anxiety onto the bodies of women. Thus, Bellmer’s work—and the work of other male surrealists who de- picted fragmented female bodies—might reflect not only misogyny but also the disavowal of emasculation through symbolic transference. The fabrication of these dolls also expresses a link to consumer society. The dolls look as if they could be surrealist mannequins made by the prosthetic industry; their deformed yet interlocking parts reflect a chilling combination of mass-market eroticism and wartime bodily trauma. These connections between misogyny and emasculation anxiety, between eroticism and the horror of war trauma, and between consump- tion and desire are not specific to Bellmer’s idiosyncratic visual rhetoric, however. The practice of joining contradictory approaches and blurring boundaries between objects, identities, and media was more prevalent among the male surrealists than is usually acknowledged. If we open our eyes to consider these contrasts as part of a broader surrealist agenda, we can see how the surrealists aimed to destabilize their viewers’ assumptions about the boundaries 15 Copyrighted Material UC-Lyford.qxd 3/21/07 12:44 PM Page 16 FIGURE 4 Hans Bellmer, Poupée, 1935.

  • Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530
    PALPABLE POLITICS AND EMBODIED PASSIONS: TERRACOTTA TABLEAU SCULPTURE IN ITALY, 1450-1530 by Betsy Bennett Purvis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto ©Copyright by Betsy Bennett Purvis 2012 Palpable Politics and Embodied Passions: Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530 Doctorate of Philosophy 2012 Betsy Bennett Purvis Department of Art University of Toronto ABSTRACT Polychrome terracotta tableau sculpture is one of the most unique genres of 15th- century Italian Renaissance sculpture. In particular, Lamentation tableaux by Niccolò dell’Arca and Guido Mazzoni, with their intense sense of realism and expressive pathos, are among the most potent representatives of the Renaissance fascination with life-like imagery and its use as a powerful means of conveying psychologically and emotionally moving narratives. This dissertation examines the versatility of terracotta within the artistic economy of Italian Renaissance sculpture as well as its distinct mimetic qualities and expressive capacities. It casts new light on the historical conditions surrounding the development of the Lamentation tableau and repositions this particular genre of sculpture as a significant form of figurative sculpture, rather than simply an artifact of popular culture. In terms of historical context, this dissertation explores overlooked links between the theme of the Lamentation, the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, codes of chivalric honor and piety, and resurgent crusade rhetoric spurred by the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Reconnected to its religious and political history rooted in medieval forms of Sepulchre devotion, the terracotta Lamentation tableau emerges as a key monument that both ii reflected and directed the cultural and political tensions surrounding East-West relations in later 15th-century Italy.

  • Jerusalem in Renaissance Italy the Holy Sepulchre on the Sacro Monte of Varallo
    Jerusalem In Renaissance Italy 215 Chapter 9 Jerusalem in Renaissance Italy The Holy Sepulchre on the Sacro Monte of Varallo Bram de Klerck The iconography of St Charles Borromeo (1538–84) contains some interesting instances of the kneeling saint in the immediate vicinity of the recumbent fig- ure of the deceased Christ. The Saviour’s largely nude body, head sometimes still crowned with thorns, is placed on a catafalque or marble slab. An example is a painting executed after 1615 for the Church of Santi Carlo e Giustina in Pa- via, by the Milanese artist Giulio Cesare Procaccini (1574–1625), now in Milan, Pinacoteca di Brera (Fig. 9.1). The work represents St Charles, dressed as a car- dinal, kneeling and looking up to an angel who is pointing at the body of Christ.1 What is especially striking in this painting and images like it is that they suggest the real presence of the sixteenth-century Milanese archbishop at Christ’s bier. By uniting the figures of Christ and St Charles in one and the same space, realistically proportioned to each other, the painters emphasize that, to the saint, the body of the dead Christ is almost tangible. It is as if, long after the biblical events of Christ’s crucifixion and burial, Borromeo found a miraculous way to go back in time some one-and-a-half millennia to find the Saviour’s body inside the hermetically closed tomb. However improbable the scene may appear, these paintings reflect a spe- cific religious experience and practice, as they are documented in the earliest written accounts of Charles Borromeo’s life.

  • Giovanni Battista Braccelli's Etched Devotions Before the Vatican
    Giovanni Battista Braccelli’s Etched Devotions before the Vatican Bronze Saint Peter Erin Giffin, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany IN THE MID-SEVENTEENTH CENTURY, the artist Giovanni Battista Braccelli (ca. 1584–1650) created an etching of the bronze Saint Peter cult statue at the Vat- ican surrounded by devotees and votives (fig. 1).1 This previously unpublished print, titled The Bronze Saint Peter with Votives, offers a detailed representation of the devotional object in its early modern location (figs. 2–3): against the northeast pier of the crossing of Saint Peter’s Basilica, where Pope Paul V Borghese (r. 1605– 21) had installed it on May 29, 1620 (still in situ today). The print details a group of early modern visitors gathered around the sculpture—well-dressed men, women, and children to the left of the composition, and an assortment of humbler lay and religious personages to the right. At the center, two pilgrims with walking sticks in hand and broad-brimmed hats slung over their shoulders approach the foot of the sculpted Saint Peter with great reverence. The first of the two bows down to touch the top of his head to the underside of the sculpted foot in an act of extreme humility, bracing himself against the sculpture’s base as the crowd looks on with approval. Emanating up from the devotees, a series of ex-voto offerings blanket the flanking pilasters of Saint Peter’s. One can make out the barest references of standard votive imagery and objects on the sketchily rendered plaques—kneel- ing figures and canopied beds before floating apparitions—accompanied by Contact Erin Giffin at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (erin.giffin@kunstgeschichte .uni-muenchen.de).
