Donatello’S David: The Putti Speak, Sally A. Struthers Dec 2002

Donatello’S David: The Putti Speak, Sally A. Struthers

Art and Art History Faculty Publications

As the first approaching life-sized, freestanding, sensuous, bronze nude since Antiquity, Donatello’s bronze David is a critical monument of the Italian Renaissance. It is also one of the most enigmatic. David is nude, but not completely unclothed, wearing a feminine-looking hat and knee-high boots. David holds a rock and a sword, while standing suggestively, on the head of Goliath. He stands in a relaxed contrapposto stance. His left hand, held to his hip, holds a stone. His right hand is resting on an oversized sword, which points downward to the helmet of Goliath, between the feet of David. As Zuraw …

Kristen Swinth, Painting Professionals: Women Artists And The Development Of Modern American Art, 1870-1930, Andrea Pappas Sep 2002

Kristen Swinth, Painting Professionals: Women Artists And The Development Of Modern American Art, 1870-1930, Andrea Pappas

Art and Art History

The author, Kirsten Swinth, examines this important and complex problem from a variety of perspectives. The book relates two intertwined, mutually illuminating narratives: one, that of the explosion of women artists into the mainstream after the Civil War, and two, the radically changed politics of art and culture under early twentieth-century modernism. Telling these two stories side by side reveals in part the gendered roots of modernism and sheds light on the impact of gender politics--in part a result of such large numbers of women artists--on major art-world systems of access and reward, such as academy exhibitions, gallery practices (many …

The Picture At Menorah Journal: Making "Jewish Art", Andrea Pappas Sep 2002

The Picture At Menorah Journal: Making "Jewish Art", Andrea Pappas

Art and Art History

Menorah Journal, founded in 1915 to foster a “Jewish Renaissance,” published essays, poetry, fiction, and political commentary. Along with articles addressing Jewish life and history, it attended to Jewish visual culture, publishing numerous works of art as well as articles by artists and cultural critics. Over the course of the magazine’s existence, only art magazines carried more reproductions of artworks in their pages. Yet when discussing Menorah Journal’s commitment to art, scholars have invariably dealt with it cursorily and as if it was no more than an attractive embellishment to the magazine. Nonetheless, the illustrations appeared, month after month, year …

He produced a body of portraits that catered to the aesthetics of a West African clientele on the verge of colonial independence. Nearly forty years later. these photographs resurfaced in the exhibition Africa Explores: 20th Century African …

Alger Veazie Currier: Apostle Of The Beaux-Arts In Maine, V. Scott Dimond Jul 2002

Alger Veazie Currier: Apostle Of The Beaux-Arts In Maine, V. Scott Dimond

Maine History

Alger Veazie Currier began a promising career as an artist in Paris when two of his paintings were accepted to the prestigious Salon of 1888. After this moment of glory, Currier returned to his home in Hallowell, at a time when art in Maine was at its most provincial. He brought with him with fresh approach to teaching art and a mission to bring both painters and patrons up to date. During a brief tenure at Bowdoin College, Currier signaled a break from the old- fashioned landscape painting that dominated the Maine art scene. Although his European, Beaux-Arts ideas were …

Technology To The Rescue! Maine’S First State Colors, David Martucci

Maine History

The State of Maine's 1822 issue of 100 stands of double-sided Militia colors is possibly the earliest example of copper engraved four-color printed flags. These flags were produced in Boston utilizing the talents of a famous painter/designer, John Ritto Penniman and several local craftsmen and craftswomen. The design is unique and finely detailed and is an excellent example of the fine printing arts. Dave Martucci, a vexillologist, currently serves as president of the North American Vexillological Association and Secretary (Treasurer of the New England Vexillological Association.

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Faculty Publications and Creative Activity

Bite your tongue, or is it your lip? That is precisely what the fool, or jester, in the Large Head of a Jester (figure 89) is actively engaged in doing as he looks out in the direction of the viewer. A gift of the Trier-Fodor Foundation, this anonymous, German engraving of c. 1600 was acquired by the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, in 1985. Image and text of this medium-sized print measure 360 x 277 mm; the sheet 402 x 312 mm. The laid paper bears a watermark of a shield incorporating a fat fleur-de-lys, or possibly a clover leaf. …
