Toward A New Definition Of Art, Glenna Boltuch

Art & Art History ETDs

This thesis is dealing with the redefinition of the idea of art. By working toward a new definition of art, the nature of art becomes widely expanded. This extends the possibilities of art ideas and activities. Art is no longer solely concerned with the art object but is increasingly involved with questioning the nature of art itself. Art is an informative and communicative process. The linguistic nature of art is used to further redefine what art is. I am interested in language as a primary means of conveying thoughts and communicating ideas in an art context. This thesis also deals …

Photography As Poetry, Kermit Noble Lee

Art & Art History ETDs

The similarities existing between poetry and photography originate in their efforts to express the ineffable nature of things. This begins in both media after 1900 with their denial of heroic subject matter, allegory and traditional concepts of structure. Poems and photographs began to make a turn inward. Their authors began to make inner maps upon which they place symbols and metaphors relating in an enigmatic sense to the exterior world. That is, poets and photographers began an exploration of their interior universe and attempted to find relationships between it and the exterior world. Interior space becomes superimposed upon exterior space. …

Aspects Of Photography As A Means Of Growth, Bruce H. Patterson

Art & Art History ETDs

Photography is a mechanical process which produces a pictorial representation upon a two dimensional surface. In that it produces a particular kind of two dimensional representation photography can be associated with the traditional criteria of art appreciation as far as line, form, tone and subject are concenred. In this paper photography is considered as that and as it acts as a mediator between the photographer and the world in which he lives. Photography is considered as a real time function furnishing contemplative data for later involvement. The questions of our emotional involvement to the world and to that part of …

The Published Writings Of Alfred Stieglitz, Sarah E. Greenough

Art & Art History ETDs

The life and art of Alfred Stieglitz, more than any other photographer in the short history of this medium, has been subjected to seemingly endless analysis. However, biographers, thus far, have relied on interpretations of the thoughts of Stieglitz rather than his own published articles. This thesis, therefore, is directed to an extensive analysis of the published writings of Stieglitz and the new insights they afford into the personality of this seminal figure in American art and the controversies surrounding him. Also included is a compilation of all known published works by Stieglitz which number over 260 articles and letters. …

My Work As A Visual Exploration Of Human Conditions, Robert J. Sanchez

Art & Art History ETDs

In this thesis I discuss important goals that occupy my attention as a visual artist. Included with the written material are slides of creative work I have done this semester.

I characterize my work as a kind that exhibits intense human emotions (hatred, violence, depression, etc.), and I make reference to other artist such as Bosh, Beckmann, and various “primitives” who have had similar concerns. Through-out the paper I make clear that it is my intention to visualize various aspects of the human condition, through a personal, figurative art. The human figure is the fundamental subject around which the thematic …

Toward A Transformal Icon, John D. Werenko

Art & Art History ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to provide an outline for a personal construct on the nature and function of painting. This paper is the beginning of a work which will be continually revised in the years ahead. The revisions will be based on the development of my creative work. Two approaches to the form of this paper were available to me. The first method would have been a purely formal and descriptive analysis of the work. This method of writing would have made the surface of the painting more accessible to the reader but it would have done little …

A Discussion Of My Work, Illona M. Petrovits

Art & Art History ETDs

The object, as we know it in actual, physical form, has long been a source of visual, emotional, ad sensual interest to me. I have been involved with making drawings from or about various objects and materials for a number of years. The work done during my M.A. program at the University of New Mexico has clarified the importance of the object to myself and to my work, and helped me to define the sources of intrigue within the object -- visually, emotionally and sensually. This thesis is a discussion of the sources for the drawings, my methods of working, …

The Development Of My Work Between 1974-1976, David James Frazer

Art & Art History ETDs

This thesis describes the processes and development of my studio work of the past two years during which time my paintings and drawings have changed from stereotyped and romantic narratives to works primarily concerned with the human figure and human individuality. My work is discussed in relation to that of Francis Bacon, Edward Hopper and Alfred Leslie There is specific discussion of my use of symbol and the important role of intuition in the production of my thesis at.

A Study Of My Work And Its Influences, Vickie Kallies

Art & Art History ETDs

Many factors, both real and imaginary, have influenced my work. Childhood experiences, my magical fantasies, and the work of certain other visual artists have directly affected my choice of subject matter as well as my techniques in picture-making. Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Persian miniatures and naive artists are discussed in terms of philosophies or styles which I consider similar to my own. This thesis is an analysis of these influences and how the resulting images, my paintings, remain unique.

Taking Or Making Photographs: Intuitive And Cognitive Decisions Of The Art Process, Edward Kenly White

Art & Art History ETDs

The scope of this "exegesis" is to discuss the creative principles underlying my photographs. In order to to so, I first lay down a preliminary introduction to the making of the art product and my own personal philosophy regarding artistic creativity and photography. Then I include relevant data about my educational background which bears on my decision-making faculties. After this grounding in creative theory and definitions of the specific vocabulary utilized, I discuss the two types of creative responses which I propagate when making photographs. The first chapter relates photography to the art process in general terms of a tri-partite …

Evolution Of A Theme: From Simplicity To Complexity, Bruce M. Meisner

Art & Art History ETDs

This thesis is a description of the processes and steps that have occurred in the development of my work and its change from literal depiction of objects and things to non-representational concerns. Spatially the work has developed through the use of various scales and perspectives. The silk screen medium, with its process of overprint layers of color has contributed to my liberation from traditional spatial statements. Forms, shapes, and brushstrokes have become more imaginative and personal. Color has changed from a local translation to a more expressionistic, rich and intense approach. I have also discussed similarities and differences between my …

Smith Ms 36: A Study In Fifteenth Century Manuscript Illumination, Gloria K. Fiero

The Courier

A Book of Hours written in Dutch was donated to the Syracuse Public Library by J. William Smith in 1908, but received little publicity until 1974, when it was included in an exhibition of medieval art at the Everson Museum, entitled "Medieval Art in Upstate New York." Briefly described in the catalog of that exhibition, and briefly loaned to the George Arents Research Library at Syracuse University, this manuscript, coded Smith 36, bears close consideration for two reasons. First, the style of the historieur, the artist who painted the miniatures, can be detected in at least three additional Books of …

Art For The Millions: A Pictorial History Of The Wpa Art Project In S.F., Warren Hinckle, Steven M. Gelber, Richard O'Hanlon

History

On the whole, the New Deal was a good deal for California, and San Francisco got the best of the bargain. While some of the more steadfast members of the Pacific Union Club sat around hissing at the very sound of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's voice resonating from their mahogany radio cabinets, the braintrusters of FDR's famous Works Progress Administration (WPA) were busy scouting Coit Tower as the site for the first federally assisted artist's project in American history. Coit Tower was but the first - and the first controversial - of an impressive, unprecedented public art-public works program that put …

The Knowing View, Donald Lee Neal

Art & Art History ETDs

Intimate understanding of the nature of a medium is the prerequisite for its use by an artist. Part I is an examination of the medium of photography in the most general terms. Certain affinities become evident which are found to be constant as properties of the medium. The photograph is examined in relation to its function and meaning levels. First the photograph and its physical properties include an image rendered in a continuous tonal scale from black to white. A photograph has the ability to resolve and define minute details and record more varieties of light than the eye can …

Archaeological Investigations At Sites In The Upper Cibolo Creek Watershed, Central Texas, Thomas C. Kelly, Thomas R. Hester

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In August, 1976, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, conducted an intensive archaeological survey of the proposed Floodwater Retarding Structure No.1 area, in the Upper Cibolo Creek Watershed, Kendall County, Texas. The work was carried out under the terms of a contract (135-TX-SCS-76) with the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service. An initial survey of this area had been conducted in February, 1975; two historic and 17 prehistoric archaeological sites were documented at that time (Bass and Hester 1975).

The intensive survey had three major objectives: (1) to conduct additional reconnaissance, thus insuring that all possible …
