Alexander Volkov And The Dancing Bacha: Uzbek Motifs In Motion, Rachel S. Golden
Alexander Volkov And The Dancing Bacha: Uzbek Motifs In Motion, Rachel S. Golden
Theses and Dissertations
Alexander Volkov (1886-1957), an Uzbek artist identified by his expressive style, vibrant palette, and devotion to folk subjects, was a leading figure in the movement known as the Uzbek avant-garde. Volkov's influence is still at work among artists in Uzbekistan, though his legacy remains largely unexplored by Western scholars. The Arkansas Arts Center owns one drawing by Volkov depicting the tradition of dancing boys or bachas, a subject the artist also painted among his reflections on Uzbek culture. Work from the same period by fellow artist Alexander Nikolaev (Usto Mumin, 1897-1957), who was better known for his attachment to bachas, …
John White Alexander And The Feminine Aesthetic: A Discussion Of The Artist's Late Works (1901-1915), Jeanne-Marie Adelle Meyer
John White Alexander And The Feminine Aesthetic: A Discussion Of The Artist's Late Works (1901-1915), Jeanne-Marie Adelle Meyer
Theses and Dissertations
Upon his death in 1915, John White Alexander was recognized as a popular portrait painter, muralist, and genre painter in America. Scholarship on Alexander is limited and, in many instances, his later works are overlooked suggesting that Alexander's late paintings suffered due to the focus on of his artistic philanthropy to American art schools. His style, at the end of his life, is believed to have decreased from a strong Art Nouveau style seen in his earlier works. It is the intent of this thesis to show that Alexander's late works did not decline from his earlier style, but displayed …
Standing Nude: The Academic Influence In Figural Works By Henri-Edmond Cross, Callie Jackson
Standing Nude: The Academic Influence In Figural Works By Henri-Edmond Cross, Callie Jackson
Theses and Dissertations
The available scholarship on Henri-Edmond Cross (1856-1910) focuses on his later Divisionist landscape paintings, giving little attention to his academic years and figural works. This study reviews the artist's formative years by looking at an academic figure study held in the Arkansas Arts Center collection entitled Standing Nude. To attribute a date to the sketch, it will be considered three ways: the figure, the cross-hatching technique and role of the model in the oeuvre of Cross. The suggested date will illustrate that Cross was not only working within the non-traditional movement of Neo-Impressionism, but that he also possessed academic training.
Saturnine Melancholy In The Art Of Francisco De Goya, Alex Carraway
Saturnine Melancholy In The Art Of Francisco De Goya, Alex Carraway
Theses and Dissertations
Within the art of the Spanish Romantic artist Francisco José de Goya (1746 - 1828), there exist specific iconographic motifs that exemplify the personality of a melancholic and Saturnine type. Goya depicts the contemplative melancholic motif in such works as Capricho 43 and the Portrait of Jovellanos, and shows the traditional attributes of Saturn in the drawings of A Melancholy Woman and Allegory on Philosophy. My contribution to the study of Goya is important because in addition to the traditional melancholic motif and the attributes associated with Saturn depicted in his art, my thesis serves to see Goya as an …
Corot's "Lyrical" Landscapes After 1850: Inspiration And Interpretation, Eileen Leila Turan
Corot's "Lyrical" Landscapes After 1850: Inspiration And Interpretation, Eileen Leila Turan
Theses and Dissertations
Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot was a prolific painter of the French landscape in the nineteenth century. Corot's landscape style had two distinctive periods: a classically inspired period prior to 1850, and then the dramatically different style after 1850. Characterized by the emphasis on light and atmosphere through a painterly approach, Corot's late landscapes have been neglected by scholars who routinely emphasize the early landscapes and his role in the development of Impressionism. This research clearly defines the late landscape style, details the existing scholarship, and offers new interpretation of the landscape style of Corot after 1850. Considering the stylistic influence of …
