Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Wolfgang Lederer dated December 21, 1989.

  • Explorations of the Painted Real
    EXPLORATIONS OF THE PAINTED REAL: TECHNOLOGICAL MEDIATION IN THE WORK OF FOUR ARTISTS. By Gina Margareta Heyer Thesis presented inpartial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Visual Arts at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Dr. Stella Viljoen (thesis) Co-supervisor: Mr. Vivian H. van der Merwe (practical) March 2011 Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. 2 March 2011 Copyright © 2011 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Abstract This thesis is an investigation into the relationship between photorealistic painting and specific devices used to aid the artist in mediating the real. The term 'reality' is negotiated and a hybrid theoretical approach to photorealism, including mimesis and semiotics, is suggested. Through careful analysis of Vermeer's suspected use of the camera obscura, I argue that camera vision already started in the 17th century, thus signalling the dramatic shift from the classical Cartesian perspective scopic regime to the model of vision offered by the camera long before the advent of photography. I suggest that contemporary photorealist painters do not just merely and objectively copy, but use photographic source material with a sophisticated awareness in response to a rapidly changing world. Through an examination of the way in which the camera obscura and photographic camera are used in the works of four artists, I suggest that a symbiotic relationship of subtle tensions between painting and photographic technology emerges.

  • Robert Bechtle: New Work
    NEW WORK SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ROBERT BECHTLE : NEW WORK SEPTEMBER 10 - DECEMBER 1, 1991 Born in San Francisco in 1932, Robert Bechtle studied at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, and since 1968 has taught painting at San Francisco State University. In the late sixties and early seventies, when Bechtle became well-known nationally, his work was usually seen together with that of Richard Estes, Chuck Close, and Malcolm Morley, among others, as representing a new style called Photo Realism or New Realism. Although the relationship of Bechtle's work to photography was evident and much remarked upon, critical discussion generally centered on its subject matter-ordinary views of suburban streets and houses, occasionally with their inhabitants-and the artist's resolute avoidance of the heroic stance associated with Abstract Expressionism.1 Yet Bechtle, more than the other Photo Realim, chose to paint a particular kind of photograph, the ordinarysnapshot­ of his family, for example, posed in front of a station wagon. His choice was no accident, as he explained at the time: "When I'm photographing a car in front of a house I try to keep in mind what a real estate photographer would do if he were taking a picture of the house and try for that quality." 2 Other Photo Realists. to be sure, made paintings from photographs that could have been snapshots. But in the paintings themselves, only Bechtle's had the atmosphere of ordinary, family photographs because he purposely avoided the virtuoso effects that for the most part characterized the work of his colleagues.

Although Photorealism on the artist) of standard under- and overpainting, using the photograph as a color reference. The abundance of detail and incident, can certainly be seen in connection to the history, style, and semiotics of modern representational painting (and to a lesser extent while reinforcing the impression of demanding skill, actually makes things easier for the artist. Lots of small things yield interesting late-twentieth-century art photography), it is worth noting that those ties are scarcely referred to in the work itself. Photorealism is textures—details reinforce neighboring details and cancel out technical problems. It is the larger, less inflected areas (like skies) that contained, compressed, and seamless, intent on the creation of an ostensibly logical, self-evident reality, a visual text that relates are more trouble, and where the most skilled practitioners shine. almost entirely to its own premises: the stressed interplay between the depiction of a slice of unremarkable three-dimensional reality While the majority of Photorealist paintings look extremely dense and seem similarly constructed from the ground up, that similarity is and the meticulous hand-painted reproduction of a two-dimensional photograph. Each Photorealist painting is a single, unambiguous, most evident either at a normal viewing distance, where the image snaps together, or in the reducing glass of photographic reproduction.

  • Visions of the Davis Art Center
    Lost and Found: Visions of the Davis Art Center Permanent Collection 1967-1992 October 8 – November 19, 2010 This page is intentionally blank 2 Lost and Found: Visions of the Davis Art Center In the fall of 2008, as the Davis Art Center began preparing for its 50th anniversary, a few curious board members began to research the history of a permanent collection dating back to the founding of the Davis Art Center in the 1960s. They quickly recognized that this collection, which had been hidden away for decades, was a veritable treasure trove of late 20th century Northern California art. It’s been 27 years since the permanent collection was last exhibited to the public. Lost and Found: Visions of the Davis Art Center brings these treasures to light. Between 1967 and 1992 the Davis Art Center assembled a collection of 148 artworks by 92 artists. Included in the collection are ceramics, paintings, drawings, lithographs, photographs, mixed media, woodblocks, and textiles. Many of the artists represented in the collection were on the cutting edge of their time and several have become legends of the art world. Lost and Found: Visions of the Davis Art Center consists of 54 works by 34 artists ranging from the funky and figurative to the quiet and conceptual. This exhibit showcases the artistic legacy of Northern California and the prescient vision of the Davis Art Center’s original permanent collection committee, a group of volunteers who shared a passion for art and a sharp eye for artistic talent. Through their tireless efforts acquiring works by artists who were relatively unknown at the time, the committee created what would become an impressive collection that reveals Davis’ role as a major player in a significant art historical period.
