The Mighty Equine: The Influence Of Titian And Rubens On The Equestrian Portraits Of Velázquez, Kristine Susan Woeckener
Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects
Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez (1599-1660) is considered by many to be one of the greatest artists Spain has ever produced. This essay explores the relationship between the painters Titian (ca. 1488-1576), Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), and Velázquez. In analyzing aspects of Velázquez's equestrian portraiture of the family of Philip IV, circa 1635-1636, Isabel of Bourbon, Infante Baltasar Carlos, and especially that of the king himself, Philip IV, and comparing them with Titian's Charles V at Mühlberg (ca. 1548) and The Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand at the Battle of Nördlingen (1634) by Rubens, it is possible to see stylistic similarities between …

We Are The Reckless, We Are The Wild Youth: Decadence And Debauchery In The Art Of The Utrecht Caravaggisti, Katie Brooke Frazier
Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects
Scenes of prostitution, gambling, drinking and vice personified in the art of the Utrecht Caravaggisti who were the Dutch followers of Caravaggio, featured the street subjects of the Italian Baroque master however these artists infused their work with moralizing content that appealed to a Dutch audience. The social and religious climate of the Netherlands in the 17th century allowed for a self indulgent and hedonistic art to be produced despite the fervent, god-fearing culture surrounding it. The art of the Utrecht Caravaggisti borrows the style and subject matter from Caravaggio however it draws upon the indigenous proverbs and moralizing literature …

Constructing Helen Frankenthaler: Redefining A 'Woman' Artist Since 1960, Alexandra P. Alberda
School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work
This thesis addresses how academics, curators, and art writers in the popular press reviewed Helen Frankenthaler during her major retrospectives of 1960 (The Jewish Museum), 1969 (The Whitney Museum of American Art), and 1989 (The Museum of Modern Art). Included is an examination of how she has been written about after her death in 2012, with analysis of the changes in the language used to critique the artist and her work as influenced by the advent of feminist theory, social history, and gender theory. I examine recent exhibitions on Frankenthaler at the Gagosian Gallery, New York City, and the Albright-Knox …

Between Historical Truth And Story-Telling: The Twentieth-Century Fabrication Of “Artemisia”, Britiany Daugherty
School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work
This research focuses on the twentieth century rediscovery of the seventeenth-century Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi by scholars, novelists, playwrights, filmmakers, and artists. I argue that the various authors who told her story constructed two distinct “Artemisias,” what I identify as the “Academic Artemisia” and the “Celebrity Artemisia.” The “Academic Artemisia” results from writings by scholars focused on her 1610 Susanna and the Elders, who used approaches from formalism and connoisseurship, to feminism and iconography. The “Celebrity Artemisia” stems from popular fictions that refashioned the life and art of Artemisia according to pop culture tastes. Studying what has been said about …

The title of Sze's multi-room installation, culled from earlier works …

Imagination And Reality: Landscape And The Folk Culture Of Joseon Dynasty Korea, Matthew Finley
Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium
The Five Peaks Screen of Korea’s Joseon dynasty (1392-1910) is one of the most iconic works of its time. Nevertheless, the remarkable visual impact and cultural significance of the Five Peaks Screen evades systematic scholarly study, partly because of its generic classification as folk art. In this paper, I will resituate the Five Peaks Screen in the artistic tradition of East Asian landscape painting. When considered in the context of literati painting traditions and relevant popular landscapes, it becomes clear that the design of the Five Peaks Screen coheres to traditional aesthetics to emphasize the ability of artwork to inform …
