Art, Attention, And Consciousness: An Experiment In Experiential Painting, 2015 University of Kentucky
Art, Attention, And Consciousness: An Experiment In Experiential Painting, Ben Drewry, Johannes Kohler
Kaleidoscope
A “transformation of perception” is investigated by looking both at the interrelationship among art, attention, and consciousness and by looking into their common origin. The role attention plays in consciousness is considered. A new model of consciousness is summarized that claims that attention is the primary factor in creating consciousness, and posits a prereflective self prior to all perceptual experience. This model is compared to states of pure consciousness described by Eastern sages, and the role attention plays in achieving those states is examined. Our experiment in experiential painting is described, and we then attempt to tie together the three …

Expressionist Art And Drama Before, During, And After The Weimar Republic, 2015 Portland State University
Expressionist Art And Drama Before, During, And After The Weimar Republic, Shane Michael Kennedy
Dissertations and Theses
Expressionism was the major literary and art form in Germany beginning in the early 20th century. It flourished before and during World War I and continued to be the dominant art for of the Early Weimar Republic. By 1924, Neue Sachlichkeit replaced Expressionism as the dominant art form in Germany. Many Expressionists claimed they were never truly apart of Expressionism. However, in the periodization and canonization many of these young artists are labeled as Expressionist.
This thesis examines the periodization and canonization of Expression in art, drama, and film and proves that Expressionism began much earlier than scholars believe and …
Transmutation: One Thing Becoming Another, 2015 CSUSB
Transmutation: One Thing Becoming Another, Price Hall
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
My art emerges from decades of the experience of building myself, sensitively aware of accumulated experience and the weight of accrued memory. Responding to this life I so deeply appreciate the longer I live, as sculptor, painter and poet, I merge these individual aesthetic observations into a layered work of many reads. Offering poetic observation as a visual sensation beyond the ears’ hearing carried on a field of color connects at some interior emotional level which is absent or very different in the uniformity of type. Time is present in my current work. “Corrugations”, not only in the poetic images …

Landscape Painting: A Comprehensive Study Of En Plein Air And Studio Painting, 2015 University of Puget Sound
Landscape Painting: A Comprehensive Study Of En Plein Air And Studio Painting, Carly Brock
Summer Research
Landscape painting reflects humankind's perception of the world around it. During the 18th century, most landscapes were idealized scenes that enforced mankind's control over nature. It was not until the end of the 19th century that artists began painting landscapes more subjectively. Through summer research, I was given the opportunity to further explore my own perception of landscape, while comparing the two methods of en plein air ("in the open air") and studio painting.

Distilled: The Narrative Transformed (Exhibition Catalogue), Sam Yates, Pinkney Herbert, Joseph Mella, Kim Levin, Tim Rollins, T. Michael Martin
Ewing Gallery of Art & Architecture
Inspired by place and process, Pinkney Herbert's work is a spirited exploration in color and line derived from the sights, sounds, and energies of the two principal cities – Memphis and New York – in which this body of work was created. Graffiti-like gestures scrawl atop digital prints, which are collaged and integrated into his paintings. In this 30-year survey, we follow Pinkney Herbert on his transformative journey from the narrative into abstraction.
Breaking Wind, 2015 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
Breaking Wind, Todd William Pentico
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Breaking Wind is a research project and thesis exhibition composed of a series of ceramic objects in conjunction with paintings that explore the systems that dictate belief, the motives that drive curiosity, and biological connection to our surroundings. The work uses the context of the gallery and devices used in museums such as plinths, shelves, and wall text to reinforce the idealized and fictive into something believable.
In the work, Breaking Wind refers to a clumsy breakdown and rethinking of the seemingly simple natural phenomenon, wind. Wind is understood as a natural occurrence that has no origin or any innate …

‘Fuchsia Lipstick’: The Domestication Of Lee Krasner In Post-War Criticism, 2015 Lawrence University
‘Fuchsia Lipstick’: The Domestication Of Lee Krasner In Post-War Criticism, Aleisha E. Barton
Richard A. Harrison Symposium
After the Second World War, the art world shifted from Europe to New York and a new form of painting that defined itself as distinctly American demanded attention from the public. This style, abstract expressionism, created an inability to survey clear subject matter allowed critics to imply gendered metaphorical resonances within works, as meanings were fluid and inconclusive to the viewer. Coupled with instability in the social sphere, artistic abstraction served as motivation for critics to seek out gendered aspects within an artwork, identifying and constructing difference to preserve order and control in a society that had dramatically changed from …
