The Empathic Relation Of Observer To Image In Fifteenth Century Northern Art, Lloyd William Benjamin Iii

Department of Art and Design

ABSTRACT LLOYD WILLIAM BENJAMIN III. The Empathic Relation of Observer to Image in Fifteenth Century Northern Art (Under the direction of' JOHN M. SCHNORRENBERG.) The observer's relation to religious art in the fifteenth century has received only minor attention in recent studies of Northern painting. Scholars have overlooked the function of naturalistic images and have concentrated upon problems of attribution, chronology. and iconogrophy. These studies, made without reference to the origin~ l purpose and setting of Flemish art, show the persistence of the I'art pour I'art attitude. The object of this study is to reintegrate the works into their original …

The Art Institute Of Boston Course Catalog (1973), The Art Institute Of Boston

Art Institute of Boston (AIB) Course Catalogs

The Art Institute of Boston maintains, and always has maintained throughout the course of its long history, that the artist holds a unique position of responsibility in his society. Because the weight of his contribution is so widely felt in this age of the expanded media, the artist is expected to be not only innovator, but also arbitrator. The decisions which affect his life and his work influence a wide body of people who look to him for illumination.

Art cannot be taught as a development of certain visual talents separate from a larger awareness of life. The Art Institute …

A Study In Visual Emotional Response To Color Changes On Simplified Flat Forms, Frances Farmer

All Master's Theses

Research has proven that the impact of two-dimensional painting and drawing occurs in the first tenth of a second on viewing. All viewing thereafter is investigative. Therefore it is of utmost important that the major response be in this period. This interest in the firm, momentary presence of visual impact has precedence in Milton Avery's work as related by Hilton Kramer in his text on Milton Avery. To make the use of color as the basic mainspring of my work seemed to be the most effective way of gaining this time response. With this in mind I intended to produce …

Photographic Imagery As A Source For Iconography In Painting And Drawing, Eric Peder Brakken

All Master's Theses

Any verbalization of an artistic statement is by its very nature, an inadequate interpretation. However, I feel there is some merit in a concise declaration of my general concepts in the study. This paper represents a summation of the concepts and directions involved in my studio investigation in painting and drawing.

Specifically, it is within the scope of man's altered and effected perception of reality that I have based the studio research.

Experiments In The Use Of Spontaneous Forms In A Series Of Mixed Media Paintings, James Delbert Williams

All Master's Theses

This series of paintings accomplished during 1970-1972 is on stretched butcher paper glued onto an 1/8" masonite board backed by 1 x 2 cedar. With the exception of spray paint, the pigments are water soluble with Elmers Glue used as an added binder. The purpose of this study was to develop a visual explanation of how accidental forms, colors, and textures can be related to conscious forms to form a complete and workable entity.

A Series Of Paintings Investigating Certain Specified Space Concepts, Michael C. Jackson

All Master's Theses

This thesis is devoted only to that work considered completely investigated: a portrait/figure series of seven paintings. In addition, the series of works with which this thesis is devoted essentially follow this format: large areas of architectural space and color versus a natural object- -a portrait figure. A play or conflict was set up between these two things; the success of the play determined the success of the painting. The factors used to judge success are basically those classical rules of composition dealing with balance: visual weight of areas, complexity, and color. The only areas manipulated were: (1) shape of …

Exploration Of Watercolor And Elmer's Glue Combined As A Painting Media, James L. Ponti

All Master's Theses

In my study, an overt attempt was made to alter the relationship (or reaction) between myself and my paintings through various means. This was achieved by manipulating surfaces painted on, materials used, and varying selection of subject matter, or content, from a wide range of possibilities.

Bruegel: His Influences And Consequences, Regina Cheng Jafree

All Master's Theses

Pieter Bruegel the elder, whose work is as modern today as centuries ago, and whose reputation as a major genius in the realm of visual, spiritual and sociological reality is lately emerging in a fashion which seems to do greater justice at a scale eminently deserved. I feel that in times to come, men like Bruegel and Caravaggio will possibly emerge as the most significant philosophers of visual arts. The fact that Bruegel is now being increasingly appreciated on a wider scale testifies to his greatness as a prophet and as a man who looked into the future, deeply and …
