“Everybody Loves A Conjurer:” The Fake Artworks Of Elmyr De Hory (1906-1976) And Their Consequences On The Art World, Caroline Grinstead
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
Art institutions such as museums, galleries, and auction houses have for many years been characterized as reliable and trustworthy. The act of art forgery threatens this integrity and causes these institutions to rethink how they acquire artworks. My research focuses on a specific art forger, Elmyr de Hory, who became notorious for being able to reproduce works in the style of notable artists such as Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani. By successfully selling his forgeries to multiple museums and galleries, only to be discovered later, de Hory forced institutions to reconstruct their approaches in authenticating and acquiring works of art. As …
Hilma Af Klint's Divine Commission, Paintings For The Temple : Modern Western Esotericism Embodied And Art Historical Norms Redfined, Hilary Cianciolo
Hilma Af Klint's Divine Commission, Paintings For The Temple : Modern Western Esotericism Embodied And Art Historical Norms Redfined, Hilary Cianciolo
MA Theses
Swedish occultist, scholar, and artist, Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), produced a series of 193 paintings after receiving a commission in 1906 from a divine spirit who offered complex iconographic insight into human ontology. The resulting series of colorful abstract paintings would not only alter her life, but also redefine contemporary perceptions of the Western art historical canon. Although all works of art are inherently spiritual to a degree, af Klint’s, commission Paintings for the Temple, is an example of Modern Western Esotericism. The commission maintains the six principle characteristics the construct is defined by, including: Role of Mediations and Imagination, …
Visual Teaching Of Geometry And The Origins Of 20th Century Abstract Art, Stephen Luecking
Visual Teaching Of Geometry And The Origins Of 20th Century Abstract Art, Stephen Luecking
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
As a group, the artists educated near the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries possessed greater mathematical knowledge than expected of artists today, especially regarding constructive skills in Euclidean geometry. Educational theory of the time stressed such skills for students in general, who needed these to enter the workplace of the time. Mathematics teaching then stressed the use of manipulatives, i.e., visual and interactive aids thought to better fix the student’s acquisition of mathematical skills. This visual training, especially in geometry, significantly affected the early development of abstraction in art. This paper presents examples of this visual …
Nothing To Do With Politics, Only Art? On Wassily Kandinsky's Work In Paris, From 1934 Until The Outbreak Of The War, Kate C. Kangaslahti
Nothing To Do With Politics, Only Art? On Wassily Kandinsky's Work In Paris, From 1934 Until The Outbreak Of The War, Kate C. Kangaslahti
Artl@s Bulletin
Following his move to Paris at the end of 1933, Wassily Kandinsky clung to his conviction that art must remain free of politics. The purpose of this essay is to consider both the limitations and advantages of this position in the polarized political climate of the French capital and to chart the aesthetic path he embarked on after his arrival, with particular reference to the personal ties and artistic alliances that he forged (or not) in this complex cultural terrain. Far from having nothing to do with politics, the transformation his painting underwent in Paris, the period he dubbed “synthetic,” …
Desertor De Un Ejército Forastero: Seoane Y El Movimiento Para Un Arte Abstracto En Argentina, Pablo García Martínez
Desertor De Un Ejército Forastero: Seoane Y El Movimiento Para Un Arte Abstracto En Argentina, Pablo García Martínez
Publications and Research
Luís Seoane es un intelectual con una trayectoria propicia para el estudio de los nuevos significados que adquieren las producciones culturales cuando son refractadas a contextos nacionales diferentes de aquellos en los que se originaron. Tomando como referencia las sugerencias de la conferencia de Pierre Bourdieu de donde está sacada la cita inicial, este artículo procura llamar la atención sobre los malentendidos surgidos del hecho de que los textos, y demás producciones artísticas, circulen a menudo sin el contexto desde el que son producidos. Precisamente la reconstrucción de los dos contextos con los que interactúa Seoane constituye un tipo de …
