Doorways To Divinity And Function In The Form: Icons And Ecclesiastical Enforcement, Ana Schnellmann
Doorways To Divinity And Function In The Form: Icons And Ecclesiastical Enforcement, Ana Schnellmann
Student Scholarship
It is always fascinating to explore the development of cultures and cultural art and to see how one evolves from and into the next. In classical antiquity, the veneration of the cult statue was common; the cult statue occupied a niche in the temple to which only priests and guests of the priests had direct access. The statues were not simply symbolic· they were instead holy objects, manifesting a direct path the the cult deity they depicted. The image itself, in other words, was the authority; the image itself had power. The forms and authority of the cult deities and …
A Tale Of Two Queens: Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun And Marie Antoinette, Bailey Compton
A Tale Of Two Queens: Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun And Marie Antoinette, Bailey Compton
Student Scholarship
What started as an unlikely partnership would blossom into a powerful and close friendship between artist Elisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun and Queen Ma1ie Antoinette. The former was able to enjoy increased career success and esteem with many thanks owed to the patronage of the latter who would expc1·ience a decline in general popularity. The working friendship of the two powerful women is shown under the guise of Vigee Le Brun' s famed portraiture. Vigee Le Brun's gentle, soft, and dew-like detailing and treatment of her subjects enabled her to portray Marie Antoinette in a fresh light. However, the artist's …

The 1904 World 's Fair and Pruitt-Igoe, a public housing project, are clearly defined in St. Louis history, one as being possibly the best event to take place in St. Louis and the other as the most epic of failures for the city.

"Reflecting An Era", Kris Runberg Smith
The Confluence (2009-2020)
The stained glass windows of St. Mark's Episcopal Church became a controversy among St. Louisans in the 1930s with their politically charged depictions, which were the brainchild of one man, Bishop William Scarlett. Windows depicting all -too-familiar scenes are paralleled with contemporary ones, but they may not be the ones you would expect.
Perceptions And Realities: Contemporary Impressions Of Formative And Temporal Experiences, Holly Lee Brewer
Perceptions And Realities: Contemporary Impressions Of Formative And Temporal Experiences, Holly Lee Brewer
Theses
This thesis describes contemporary, non-traditional printmaking processes aimed at creating a metaphor for our perceptions of time and how the passage of time affects us both internally and externally in our attempt at constructing our self-identity. The language of this metaphor adopts the internal patterns of tree burls and altered pieces of manufactured wood in communicating the transience of time and mutability of memory. Texture is highlighted in many of the pieces for the exhibition, not only with that of irregular wood grain, but also in the series with skin-like handmade flax paper. In order to demonstrate how memory is …

Catholic Conversion And Incest In Dryden's "Don Sebastian", Geremy Carnes
Catholic Conversion And Incest In Dryden's "Don Sebastian", Geremy Carnes
Faculty Scholarship
John Dryden's decision to end his 1689 tragedy, Don Sebastian , with the discovery of an act of incest has persistently puzzled the plays readers. The historical Sebastian almost certainly died in the battle which immediately precedes the events of the play; a slightly delayed death would therefore have been a logical conclusion to the play. Or, Dryden could have followed the traditions of romance and legend, which took hope from the fact that Sebastian's body had never been found. These stories, which grew up among the Portuguese after they had been conquered by Spain in 1 580, held that …

The fashion industry has advanced new technologies in the twenty-first century that has made producing apparel more cost effective with faster time-to-market capabilities and greatly reduced steps in the manufacturing process.

Eclipse: Theories In Contemporary Art's World, Bethany Burton
Student Scholarship
Globalization and New Internationalism have quickly become two of the most common and comprehensive theories for discussing contemporary art in the early twenty -first century. Moving beyond the formal qualities of a Eurocentric paradigm today's art movement is often associated with ephemeral practices that span outside of both national territories and museum walls. While activating public pace and integrating electronic multimedia, artists and curators have begun to challenge the formal art institutional apparatus, showcasing a worldwide spectacle that merge together Western and non-Western art.

The expansion of fraternal and benevolent societies in the late nineteenth century also created a business opportunity to supply those lodges with the paraphernalia for rituals, including “side degree” products. DeMoulin Brothers in Greenville, Illinois, led the industry in fraternal products.
