Bharrat Jagdeo General Editors: David Dabydeen & Lynne Macedo Consulting Editor: Ian McDonald 3 4 SERIES PREFACE Modern Guyana came into being, in the Western imagination, through the travelogue of Sir Walter Raleigh, The Discoverie of Guiana (1595). Raleigh was as beguiled by Guiana’s landscape (“I never saw a more beautiful country...”) as he was by the prospect of plunder (“every stone we stooped to take up promised either gold or silver by his complexion”). Raleigh’s contemporaries, too, were doubly inspired, writing, as Thoreau says, of Guiana’s “majestic forests”, but also of its earth, “resplendent with gold.” By the eighteenth century, when the trade in Africans was in full swing, writers cared less for Guiana’s beauty than for its mineral wealth. Sugar was the poet’s muse, hence the epic work by James Grainger The Sugar Cane (1764), a poem which deals with subjects such as how best to manure the sugar cane plant, the most effective diet for the African slaves, worming techniques, etc.

Fantasied images of women: representations of myths of the golden apples in “classic” Victorian Paintings This article proposes to examine the treatment of Greek myths of the golden apples in paintings by late-Victorian artists then categorized in contemporary reception as “classical” or “classic.” These terms recur in many reviews published in periodicals.1 The artists concerned were trained in the academic and neoclassical Continental tradition, and they turned to Antiquity for their forms and subjects.

  • Celestinas Y Majas En La Obra De Goya, Alenza Y Lucas Velázquez
    Celestinesca 39 (2015): 275-328 Celestinas y majas en la obra de Goya, Alenza y Lucas Velázquez Rachel Schmidt University of Calgary A pesar de que se imprimieron pocas ediciones de la Celestina de Rojas en el siglo de las luces, como resume Joseph T. Snow, la fama de la obra «se incorporó en la conciencia del país» (2000: 46), hasta que la figura de su protagonista llegó a ser un tipo que designaba mujeres ejerciendo el oficio de terceras y alcahuetas. En el sigloXVIII se solía asociar la figura de celestina con una mujer madura y astuta que guiaba a un chico joven e inocente hacia un matrimonio, le conviniera o no. Es de esta manera como José Cadalso recomendaba al «militar a la violeta» la lectura de la obra de Rojas para que el joven ingenuo aprendiera a escaparse de los designios de las «viejas zurcidoras», herederas del oficio de la Celestina (Helman 1955: 221). Luis Paret y Alcázar, en su acuarela Celestina y los enamorados (1784), ya muestra el tipo de la anciana, con nariz bulbosa y mejillas hundidas, situada en un escenario empobrecido y circundada por botellas de vino (Snow 2000: 45). La tríada de celestina, prostituta y cliente será el modelo representativo de lo que Tomás Rodríguez Rubí clasificó como el rango más bajo de la «mujer del mundo», en un ensayo publicado en Los españoles pintados por sí mismos (1843); en este estudio, una viñeta con las cabezas de tres figuras, sirve como colofón al escrito (Figura 1). Los tipos son icónicos: la Celestina «con su nariz grotesca y su barbilla grande» dirige a la chica, situada en el centro, hacia el hombre, al que quiere vender sus servicios.

  • Leighton's Iconic Painting Flaming June on View in New
    LEIGHTON’S ICONIC PAINTING FLAMING JUNE ON VIEW IN NEW YORK CITY FOR THE FIRST TIME June 9 through September 6, 2015 Born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, in 1830, Frederic Leighton was one of the most renowned artists of the Victorian era. He was a painter and sculptor, as well as a formidable presence in the art establishment, serving as a longtime president of the Royal Academy, and he forged an unusual path between academic classicism and the avant-garde. The recipient of many honors during his lifetime, he is the only British artist to have been ennobled, becoming Lord Leighton, Baron of Stretton, in the year of his death. Nevertheless, he left almost no followers, and his impressive oeuvre was largely forgotten in the twentieth century. Leighton’s virtuoso technique, extensive preparatory Frederic Leighton (1830–1896), Flaming June, c.1895, oil on canvas, Museo de Arte de Ponce. The Luis A. Ferré Foundation, Inc. process, and intellectual subject matter were at odds with the generation of painters raised on Impressionism, with its emphasis on directness of execution. One of his last works, however, Flaming June, an idealized sleeping woman in a semi-transparent saffron gown, went on to enduring fame. From June 9 to September 6, Leighton’s masterpiece will hang at the Frick, on loan from the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico.

  • Francisco De Goya
    Francisco de Goya, pintor a caballo entre el clasicismo y el romanticismo que se enmarca en el periodo de la Ilustración del siglo XVIII, es una figura imprescindible de la historia del arte español. El artista vive en una constante dicotomía, puesto que trabaja para la corte y, al mismo tiempo, introduce la crítica social en su obra y se interesa por temas poco habituales, como el lado oscuro del ser humano. De esta manera, revoluciona el arte con obras maestras como La maja desnuda o La familia de Carlos IV. Su talento a la hora de plasmar a la perfección la personalidad de sus personajes en sus retratos y de captar un sentido de la luz preciso y delicado queda reflejado en sus pinturas al óleo, sus frescos, sus aguafuertes, sus litografías y sus dibujos. Esta guía estructurada y concisa te invita a descubrir todos los secretos de Francisco de Goya, desde su contexto, su biografía y las características de su obra hasta un análisis de sus trabajos principales, como la Adoración del nombre de Dios por los ángeles, El sueño de la razón produce monstruos o La maja desnuda, entre otros. Te ofrecemos las claves para: conocer la España de los siglos XVIII y XIX, que pierde importancia a nivel mundial y que se muestra reacia a toda idea liberal que provenga de fuera de sus fronteras; descubrir los detalles sobre la vida de Francisco de Goya, artista lleno de contradicciones que se convierte en una de las figuras clave de la historia del arte español; analizar una selección de sus obras clave, como La maja desnuda, la Adoración del nombre de Dios por los ángeles, El sueño de la razón produce monstruos o La familia de Carlos IV; etc.

Pourtant, les travaux français sur Goya à cette époque sont novateurs ; on y trouve ainsi les premiers catalogues de l’œuvre gravé et peint du maître aragonais. Le recueil gravé des Caprices, qui compte parmi l’une des premières œuvre mentionnées de cet artiste, est sans doute aussi la plus connue en France : la découverte de ce recueil marque l’historiographie française sur Goya, dont l’œuvre est parfois réduite à cette série, ce qui fait considérer l’artiste comme le premier graveur espagnol, tandis que sa peinture, mal connue est peu appréciée en général.

It’s miserably low-paid work and to make of campaigning social commentary on behalf of the ends meet she has to work into the early hours of poor.

But in the 1840s, when Redgrave neighbouring house suggests that the same scene is painted this picture, the idea of an artist addressing repeated on the other side of the street. himself to social questions was something completely new. The sempstress’ eyes are swollen and inflamed with all And it seems there was a personal dimension for the that close work she is having to do by the inadequate artist because Richard Redgrave didn’t come from a light of a candle. On the table you can find the rich family and his sister had been forced to leave home instruments of her trade: her work basket, her needle and find employment as a governess.

    ANTONIO SAURA'S MONSTRIFICATIONS: THE MONSTROUS BODY, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE MODERN SPANISH TRADITION BY FERNANDO HERRERO-MATOSES DISSERTATION Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jonathan D. Fineberg, Chair Associate Professor Jordana Mendelson, New York University Assistant Professor Terri Weissman Associate Professor Brett A. Kaplan Associate Professor Elena L. Delgado Abstract This dissertation examines the monstrous body in the works of Antonio Saura Atares (1930-1998) as a means of exploring moments of cultural and political refashioning of the modern Spanish tradition during the second half of the twentieth century. In his work, Saura rendered figures in well-known Spanish paintings by El Greco, Velázquez, Goya and Picasso as monstrous bodies. Saura’s career-long gesture of deforming bodies in discontinuous thematic series across decades (what I called monstrifications) functioned as instances for artistic self-evaluation and cultural commentary. Rather than metaphorical self-portraits, Saura’s monstrous bodies allegorized the artistic and symbolic body of his artistic ancestry as a dismembered and melancholic corpus. In examining Saura’s monstrifications, this dissertation closely examines the reshaping of modern Spanish narrative under three different political periods: Franco’s dictatorship, political transition, and social democracy. By situating Saura’s works and texts within the context of Spanish recent political past, this dissertation aims to open conversations and cultural analyses about the individual interpretations made by artists through their politically informed appropriations of cultural traditions. As I argue, Saura’s monstrous bodies incarnated an allegorical and melancholic gaze upon the fragmentary and discontinuous corpus of Spanish artistic legacy as an always-retrieved yet never restored body.

  • Dali Museum Vocabulary
    DALI MUSEUM VOCABULARY Abstract Art: Abstract art uses a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be slight, partial, or complete. Among the very numerous art movements that embody partial abstraction would be for instance fauvism in which color is conspicuously and deliberately altered, and cubism, which blatantly alters the forms of the real life entities depicted. Dalí created this painting out of geometric shapes to become a double image. Anamorphic: When we talk about an anamorphic image, we are referring to an image that appears in his normal position only when viewed from some particular perspective (from the side) or when viewed through some transforming optical device such as a mirror. Dalí liked to play with the viewer so he used some anamorphic images. One of his most famous anamorphic paintings is a distorted skull, but when reflected in a mirrored cylinder returns to its normal proportions. This kind of art is made on a polar grid, like maps of the globe. Anthropomorphic: Suggesting human characteristics for animals or inanimate things. Centaurs and Minotaurs are two good examples from mythology. Dalí loved combining different things to create something new. This Dalí sculpture is a person with drawers like a cabinet. Ants: Ants symbolize death and decay. A symbol of decay and decomposition. 1 Dalí met ants the first time as a child, watching the decomposed remains of small animals eaten by them.
