  • Art in the Mirror: Reflection in the Work of Rauschenberg, Richter, Graham and Smithson
    ART IN THE MIRROR: REFLECTION IN THE WORK OF RAUSCHENBERG, RICHTER, GRAHAM AND SMITHSON DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Eileen R. Doyle, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Stephen Melville, Advisor Professor Lisa Florman ______________________________ Professor Myroslava Mudrak Advisor History of Art Graduate Program Copyright by Eileen Reilly Doyle 2004 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation considers the proliferation of mirrors and reflective materials in art since the sixties through four case studies. By analyzing the mirrored and reflective work of Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Dan Graham and Robert Smithson within the context of the artists' larger oeuvre and also the theoretical and self-reflective writing that surrounds each artist’s work, the relationship between the wide use of industrially-produced materials and the French theory that dominated artistic discourse for the past thirty years becomes clear. Chapter 2 examines the work of Robert Rauschenberg, noting his early interest in engaging the viewer’s body in his work—a practice that became standard with the rise of Minimalism and after. Additionally, the theoretical writing the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty provides insight into the link between art as a mirroring practice and a physically engaged viewer. Chapter 3 considers the questions of medium and genre as they arose in the wake of Minimalism, using the mirrors and photo-based paintings of Gerhard Richter as its focus. It also addresses the particular way that Richter weaves the motifs and concerns of traditional painting into a rhetoric of the death of painting which strongly implicates the mirror, ultimately opening up Richter’s career to a psychoanalytic reading drawing its force from Jacques Lacan’s writing on the formation of the subject.

  • The Reception of Palaeolithic Art at the Turn of the Twentieth Century: Between Archaeology and Art History
    The reception of Palaeolithic art at the turn of the twentieth century: between archaeology and art history Oscar Moro Abadía If I am asked to define any further what I mean by ‘the primitive’ I must refer the reader to the pages of this book, which will show that the term was associated in its time with early Greek vases, with quattrocento painting and with tribal art.1 These words by Ernst Gombrich summarize some of the main meanings associated with the term ‘primitive’ in the field of art history. In its original sense, the word refers to a movement of taste that, in the story of art, runs parallel to the progress towards naturalism. According to Gombrich, while art history may be described as the story of how ‘the artist got better and better in the imitation of nature’,2 there have been a number of artistic movements that have called for a deliberate abandonment of classical standards.3 This ‘preference for the primitive’ has been expressed in ‘the revulsion from that very perfection that art had been said to aim at’.4 During the last years of the nineteenth century, the theory of evolution ‘gave a new meaning to the term ‘primitive’ which […] came to denote the beginnings of human civilization’.5 As a result of this development, the term ‘primitive art’ was incorporated into art historians’ vocabulary to refer to a set of non-Western arts coming from Africa, America and Oceania.6 At the beginning of the twentieth century, ‘primitive art’ was used interchangeably with terms such as ‘savage art’, ‘tribal art’ and ‘art nègre’.7 Since then, the label has been intensively criticized for Acknowledgements.

  • A Review on Historical Earth Pigments Used in India's Wall Paintings
    heritage Review A Review on Historical Earth Pigments Used in India’s Wall Paintings Anjali Sharma 1 and Manager Rajdeo Singh 2,* 1 Department of Conservation, National Museum Institute, Janpath, New Delhi 110011, India; [email protected] 2 National Research Laboratory for the Conservation of Cultural Property, Aliganj, Lucknow 226024, India * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Iron-containing earth minerals of various hues were the earliest pigments of the prehistoric artists who dwelled in caves. Being a prominent part of human expression through art, nature- derived pigments have been used in continuum through ages until now. Studies reveal that the primitive artist stored or used his pigments as color cakes made out of skin or reeds. Although records to help understand the technical details of Indian painting in the early periodare scanty, there is a certain amount of material from which some idea may be gained regarding the methods used by the artists to obtain their results. Considering Indian wall paintings, the most widely used earth pigments include red, yellow, and green ochres, making it fairly easy for the modern era scientific conservators and researchers to study them. The present knowledge on material sources given in the literature is limited and deficient as of now, hence the present work attempts to elucidate the range of earth pigments encountered in Indian wall paintings and the scientific studies and characterization by analytical techniques that form the knowledge background on the topic. Studies leadingto well-founded knowledge on pigments can contribute towards the safeguarding of Indian cultural heritage as well as spread awareness among conservators, restorers, and scholars.

  • Picasso: Girl Before a Mirror
    PICASSO GIRL BEFORE A MIRROR ANNE UMLAND THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK At some point on Wednesday, March 14, 1932, Pablo Picasso stepped back from his easel and took a long, hard look at the painting we know as Girl before a Mirror. Deciding there was nothing more he wanted to change or to add, he recorded the day, month, and year of completion on the back of the canvas and signed it on the front, in white paint, up in the picture’s top-left corner.1 Riotous in color and chockablock with pattern, this image of a young woman and her mirror reflection was finished toward the end of a grand series of can- vases the artist had begun in December 1931, three months before.2 Its jewel tones and compartmentalized composition, with discrete areas of luminous color bounded by lines, have prompted many viewers to compare its visual effect to that of stained glass or cloisonné enamel. To draw close to the painting and scrutinize its surface, however, is to discover that, unlike colored glass, Girl before a Mirror is densely opaque, rife with clotted passages and made up of multiple complex layers, evidence of its having been worked and reworked. The subject of this painting, too, is complex and filled with contradictory symbols. The art historian Robert Rosenblum memorably described the girl’s face, at left, a smoothly painted, delicately blushing pink-lavender profile com- bined with a heavily built-up, garishly colored yellow-and-red frontal view, as “a marvel of compression” containing within itself allusions to youth and old age, sun and moon, light and shadow, and “merging .

  • The Dawn of the Twentieth Century: Modernity, Utopia and Conflict
    Public Programmes, Education and Mediation Department The Dawn of the Twentieth Century: Modernity, Utopia and Conflict Permanent Collection I: Second Floor Preparing Your Independent Tour This guide contains material to help teachers prepare their visits to the museum. The Tour: The proposed tour has been designed with the 11-17 age-group in mind. However, the Introduction material may also be used by primary school and General Overview teachers, who should feel free to adapt it in order to meet the requirements of their pu- pils. The tour centres around a section of the collection housed on the second floor of the museum – from room 201, the starting point of the visit, to room 206, where the visit cul- minates with a view of Picasso’s Guernica (see attached plan). This tour is based upon a selection of artworks and debates that will allow students to consider some key questions, such as: how and why did artistic modernity emerge towards the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th; and, to what extent was that modernity the product and symptom of fundamental changes in our way of life and our conception of the world? Modernity appears in different domains, not just art. Social, economic, technological, ideological and moral changes that took place from the end of the 19th century had a very direct link with the anxieties and expectations embodied in the artistic avant-gardes. By portraying the whole range of historical circumstances that came together at the dawn of the 20th century, therefore, we are also giving an account of the emergence of modernity in art.

  • A History of Art Criticism
    1 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ A History of Art Criticism It is conventional to explain the origins of criticism as following the establishment of regular art exhibitions by the Académie in the Louvre in 1737. Yet the various ingredients that came together to form Salon criticism pre-existed the instigation of annual exhibitions. —RICHARD WRIGLEY, IN THE ORIGINS OF FRENCH ART CRITICISM, 1993 In his immortal Salons, Diderot . founded the criticism of painting. 1 —THÉOPHILE GAUTIER, 1854 THE BIRTH OF A GENRE Defined broadly, art criticism clearly has a lengthy history. Men and women have been talking and writing about buildings, sculptures, and paintings with discernment—and so practicing art criticism, in one sense of the word— for thousands of years. As early as the first century BCE, for instance, the ancient Greek geographer Strabo pondered the effect of an ancient temple of Artemis that, “insofar as the size of the temple and the number of votives is concerned, falls short of the one in Ephesus; but, in its well-designed appearance and in the artistry visible in the fitting out of its sacred enclosure, is much superior.”2 And in the fifth century CE, a Byzantine scholar named Procopius recorded his reaction to the vast dome of Constantinople’s Hagia Sofia. “From the lightness of the building,” he argued, “it does not appear to rest upon a solid foundation, but to cover the place beneath as though it were suspended from heaven by the fabled golden chain.”3 1Quoted in Snell, Théophile Gautier, 206. 2Pollitt, The Ancient View of Greek Art, 171. 3Quoted in Lethaby and Swainson, The Church of Sancta Sophia Constantinople, 26.
