To Touch Time: U.S. Black Feminist Modernist Sculpture In The 1970s And 1980s, Sarah Louise Cowan
To Touch Time: U.S. Black Feminist Modernist Sculpture In The 1970s And 1980s, Sarah Louise Cowan
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
Modernist propositions long have been understood as atemporal—somehow outside of time—or insistently hailing the future. This temporal framework suppresses the contributions of those excluded from modernist canons, particularly Black women. In this article, visual and material analysis of sculptural works produced in the 1970s and 1980s by U.S. Black women artists Beverly Buchanan, Senga Nengudi, and Betye Saar reveal how Black feminists have engaged with modernist protocols in order to redress cultural erasures of Black women. These practices exemplify Black feminist modernisms, or creative practices that unsettle the racist and sexist logics of dominant cultural institutions. Each of these artists …

Spectacles Of Fire And Water: Performing The Destructive Forces Of Early Modern Naval Battles, Felicia M. Else
Spectacles Of Fire And Water: Performing The Destructive Forces Of Early Modern Naval Battles, Felicia M. Else
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
J. R. Mulryne’s study of the naval battle, or naumachia, staged in the Palazzo Pitti courtyard in Florence for the 1589 wedding of Ferdinando I de’ Medici and Christine of Lorraine points out the vivid, borderline unpleasant experience that audiences would have felt in such an enclosed space. This study takes inspiration from Mulryne’s work by looking at the pairing of water and fire in 16th century representations and performances of naval battles. An astounding level of manipulation and choreography was needed to bring together these two unpredictable and dangerous elements of nature. Contemporaries were struck by the wondrous but …

American Indians residing in the Northern Plains region of the Indian Health Service experience some of the most severe cancer-related health disparities. We investigated ways in which the community climate among an American Indian population in an urban community in the Northern Plains region influences community readiness to address cancer. A Community Readiness Assessment, following the Community Readiness Model, conducted semi-structured interviews with eight educators, eight students, and eight community leaders from the American Indian community in Omaha’s urban American Indian population and established the Northern Plains region community at a low level of readiness to address cancer. This study …

The process of creating a portrait relies on a series of intimate interactions. Portraits, even those that depict a single individual, are a visual testament to a relationship. Portrait sitters are required to engage with artists in the creation of their personal visual narrative. As viewers of a portrait, we are invited to actively participate in other’s stories, to observe, to question, even stare. This process is integral to the portraits evolving meaning. Giving, receiving, observing & witnessing care (GROWing Care), the case study presented in this manuscript, draws on these multiple exchanges to explore the experience of dementia and …

I greeted Judy in the same waiting room at the Head and Neck Cancer Clinic where the physicians and nurses had met her as a patient. She arrived on time, as always. She collected up her bags and her cup of coffee from the vending machine. I showed her into the bare, windowless room adjacent to the clinic’s examination bays. What was once a postal room was now transformed into an artist’s studio, where Judy and other patients consented to engage in the process of sitting for their portrait.
Charged Spaces: Navigating Complex Exhibition Content For University Audiences, Craig Hadley, Alexandra Chamberlain
Charged Spaces: Navigating Complex Exhibition Content For University Audiences, Craig Hadley, Alexandra Chamberlain
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
This paper explores some of the ways in which academic museums navigate politically charged conversations on campus, specifically addressing public programs, curatorial strategies, and administrative brokering. The authors discuss the complexities of collaboration and academic freedom when tackling such sensitive topics, and discuss lessons learned from a recent exhibition case study. This text is largely adapted from a panel presentation first delivered at the 2018 Association of Academic Museums and Galleries (AAMG) Annual Conference at the University of Miami.

In February 2018, the University of New Mexico (UNM) convened the last oil: a multispecies justice symposium on Arctic Alaska and beyond.Twenty-nine artists, activists, attorneys, scientists, conservationists, curators, scholars, and writers from across the United States and Canada, gave talks and/or did creative performances—and ten colleagues from UNM and beyond chaired various sessions. the last oil was the first national convening to apprehend the reckless U.S. federal Arctic policy, and also brought impacts of climate change and Indigenous rights concerns in Alaska into conversation with similar impacts and struggles in New Mexico and the west.

An Art-Based Case Study: Reflections On End Of Life From A Husband, Artist And Caregiver, Regina Robbins, Mark A. Gilbert
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
This study explores the reflective processes of Scottish artist, Norman Gilbert, as he created twenty-five drawings depicting his wife, Pat Gilbert, as she lay dying following an Alzheimer’s-related stroke. Norman, ninety-one, had drawn Pat regularly over their sixty-five-year marriage. One week after Pat died, Norman was interviewed by a family friend to chronicle his reflections on the drawings. The drawings along with the interview transcript are analyzed qualitatively as a case study. Norman’s Hospital Drawings of Pat transform what was initially a private experience into a shared comprehension of end of life and bereavement.

Chasing The Craze: When The Right Variables Are Off-Stage, Tina M. Gebhart
Chasing The Craze: When The Right Variables Are Off-Stage, Tina M. Gebhart
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
A smooth white glaze, (Figure 1) with a buttery surface and smooth breaking on edges, just enough change of whiteness in a crevice pooling, seemingly opaque when thicker, but with a certain glow, a slight grey showing through. It crazes slightly, a fine webbing of cracks. Not enough to be decorative crazing, and not enough crazing to make me abandon the glaze, but enough crazing that I would like it to be gone. I prefer a system-oriented testing approach as a kind of universal order. A simple Unity Molecular Formula grid mapping method typically shows a boundary line of crazed …

Experience Of Portraiture In A Clinical Setting: An Artist’S Story, Mark A. Gilbert
Experience Of Portraiture In A Clinical Setting: An Artist’S Story, Mark A. Gilbert
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
In this article the author reflects upon the challenges, rewards and learning he experienced as a portrait painter working on two arts-based research projects in hospitals. He describes how the relationships with the patients and caregivers who sat for their portraits generated new realizations for artist and model. Although initially resistant to the notion of art as research, his profound experiences co-creating with people portrayed, convinced him of the healing values and therapeutic benefits that artistic practices have in abundance. Portraiture, here, served as a bridge that brought the two worlds of art and medicine together.
Book Review: Ancient Mediterranean Art, Bridget Sandhoff
Book Review: Ancient Mediterranean Art, Bridget Sandhoff
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
The genesis of this catalogue stemmed from the generous gift of William D. and Jane Walsh, who donated their sizeable collection of ancient Mediterranean art to Fordham University in 2006. Mr. Walsh’s life-long passion for antiquity dates to his undergraduate days when he studied classics at Fordham in the early 1950s. Though his career took a different path (i.e., law and business), Walsh never lost his love for the ancient past. In fact, over the past thirty years, he built a collection of primarily Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities.

Art and Art History Faculty Publications
Shortly after Caliph ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab’s (579-644, caliph 634-644) arrival in Jerusalem in 638, he is said to have constructed a rudimentary mosque or prayer space south of the historical Rock now contained within the Dome of the Rock (completed 691) on the former Temple Mount or Bayt al-Maqdis known popularly since Mamluk and Ottoman times as the Haram al-Sharif. Though later textual evidence indicates that ‘Umar prayed somewhere south of the “rock” and later scholars suggest that he constructed a rudimentary prayer space on the site, there is no surviving physical evidence of that initial structure. After his appointment …

The Imperial Museum Of Antiquities In Jerusalem, 1890-1930: An Alternative Narrative, Beatrice St. Laurent, Himmet Taskömür
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
The creation of the first Museum of Antiquities in Jerusalem during the late Ottoman period is a fascinating story of archaeological pursuits in the region by both Ottoman government officialdom in Istanbul and foreign archaeologists working in Palestine for the British Palestine Exploration Fund. The Ottoman Museum called the Muze-I Humayun in Turkish or Imperial Museum (1901-1917) and its collection is continuous with the British Palestine Museum of Antiquities (1921-1930) and the Palestine Archaeological Museum. The construction of the last began in 1930 and was completed in 1935, but the museum, now known as the Rockefeller Museum, did not open …

Techno File: Glaze Unity Formula, Tina M. Gebhart
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
There are many approaches to modifying a glaze recipe, and different approaches can meet different needs. Some modifications change the colorant level while others change the colorant type altogether. Some may directly replace one material with another add a few weight unit more (or less) of one of the base ingredients in the recipe, or add an amount of an entirely new ingredient. These strategies we use to alter glazes tent to parallel how we cook and modify recipes in the kitchen, but adjustments to the base glaze using the kitchen method do not always give us the results we …

Art and Art History Faculty Publications
Nel quinto decennio del Cinquecento il duca Cosimo I de' Medici ha commissionato una serie di arazzi all'artista di corte Bachiacca. Analizzati da Lucia Tongiori Tomasi, i pesci rappresentati negli arazzi sono di notevole interesse per varieta, accuratezza e in quanto raffigurati quando gli studi ittiologici erano ancora agli esordi. Questi "frutti di mare" potevano suscitare interesse sia dal punto di vista artistico sia da quello scientifico ed essere usati come doni diplomatici e delizie offerte come simboli del potere. Questo studio interdisciplinare esplora, attraverso la documentazione dell'Archivio di Stato di Firenze e della Biblioteca Riccardiana, i diversi modi in …

Bartolomeo Ammannati: Moving Stones, Managing Waterways, And Building An Empire For Duke Cosimo I De' Medici, Felicia M. Else
Art and Art History Faculty Publications
This study, drawing on new information from unpublished documents, reconsiders the working methods and responsibilities of sculptor and architect Bartolomeo Ammannati in the context of Cosimo I de' Medici's creation of a grand ducal Tuscan empire. Ammannati was an indispensable part of the broader enterprise of ducal and grand ducal building activity, urban development, and court bureaucracy. His success was reliant on skills different than those emphasized by Giorgio Vasari. Instead of divinely inspired disegno or rampant terribilità, Ammannati showed his technical, organizational, and supervisory skills to move stones, build bridges, manage waterways, and keep track of expenses - the …
