65. Cimabue And Giotto Giorgio Vasari S Lives Of The Artists Cimabue and Giotto Giorgio Vasari s lives of the artists But there being ascarcity of good archi~ects, and the work needing an excellent one, http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/vasari/vasari1.htm

Cimabue and Giotto Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists THE great flood of misfortunes, by which poor Italy had been afflicted and overwhelmed, had not only reduced to ruins all bwildings of note throughout the land, but what was of far more importance, had caused an utter lack of the very artists themselves. At this time, when the supply seemed entirely exhausted, in the year 1240, by the will of God, there was born in the city of Florence, Giovanni, surnamed Cimabue, of the noble family of that name, who was to shed the first light on the art of painting. He, as he grew, being judged by his hther and others to possess a fine acute intellect, was sent to S. Maria Novella to be instructed in letters by a relative of his who taught grammar to the novices of that convent. But instead of attending to his lessons, Cimabue spent all the day in painting on his books and papers, men, horses, houses, and such things. To this natural inclination fortune was favourable, for certain painters of Greece, who had been summoned by the rulers of Florence to restore the almost forgotten art of painting in the city, began at this time to work in the chapel of the Gondi in S. Maria Novella; and Cimabue would often escape from school and stand all day watching them, until his father and the painters themselves judging that he was apt for painting, he was placed under their instruction. Nature, however, aided by constant practice, enabled him greatly to surpass both in design and colouring the masters who had taught him. For they, never caring to advance in their art, did everything not in the good rnanner of ancient Greece, but after the rude manner of those times.

67. The Social Value Of Filmed Arts Lives artists’ lives are often neglected or concealed behind the statement made by In any life of an artist, the work has to be understood as central to that http://www.kinema.uwaterloo.ca/murph041.htm

Model Lives: The Social Value of Filmed Arts Lives A. Mary Murphy SPRING 2004 HOME F ILM has developed thus far as a medium either for entertainment or education, but seldom for both at once. The problem has been, not that educational entertainment is oxymoronic, but rather the limited vision of filmmakers. Biographical film has the generic potential to be a meeting place for the documentary demands of scholarship and the escapist or cathartic demands of audienceship. There is no reason that factual accuracy and historicity should be dull and dry as dirt; the difference is made in the telling – the Canterbury pilgrims understood that. Their Tales were to be judged on the narrative balance of solace and sentence , their ability simultaneously to delight and instruct. Lewis Lockwood makes two observations on this point, in his discussion of the film Immortal Beloved . He says that a “deep disdain, ill-concealed scorn, for mass audiences, is one of the bedrock assumptions in the minds of all too many film and television producers when they deal with so-called ‘high cultural’ topics” (195); his conviction suggests a reason for the ill treatment so many arts lives receive in the hands of filmmakers: the twits in the seats wouldn’t know the difference. Lockwood further itemizes what we (as the not-so-ignorant twits in the audience) seek in a filmed artist’s life: “a sense of respect for the subject [, ...] the capacity to make a gripping and interesting film[, ...] [and] an intelligent grappling with the elusive mysteries of artistic biography” (195-96). Lived lives are filled with the things movie audiences desire and expect from films: sex, fear, crisis, happiness, violence, folly, fulfilment, and loss. The choice of subject for a biographical film assigns value to that subject and that subject’s way of being (think of Denzel Washington’s five choices of historical figure to portray), and therefore the genre potentially has power to situate a historically-neglected individual in the public consciousness, to reassess the facts of a very public career, and to reconsider the devaluation of a way of being in the world.

Darwin Centre Live online Joseph Wolf Joseph Wolf was the finest wildlife illustrator and painter of the Victorian era. His work transformed the portrayal of animals in nature and inspired a new generation of artists. Portrait of Joseph Wolf (1820-1899). Joseph Wolf was a pioneering wildlife artist. Whether creating a charcoal sketch or a dramatic oil painting, he had a unique talent for capturing the very essence of an animal. Unlike his contemporaries, Wolf painted wild creatures in their natural setting. By revealing their moods and behaviours, he allowed us to glimpse the reality of their everyday lives. His work paved the way for the wildlife art and illustration of today. Work Timeline Born to paint Joseph Wolf was born into a German farming family in 1820. A solitary boy, he spent his free time in the woods and fields, watching and recording the secret lives of mammals and birds.

Although the nature of this blurry separation is normally beyond our intuitive grasp, Heidi May and Sean Alward's current work tasks itself with just such a relation between subject and object.

Chinese Figure Painting of the 20th Century CURRENT EXHIBITIONS LAB 5.2: Lynda Gammon Salvaged Untitled (detail from Salvaged installation), 2005 September 2, 2005 to October 16, 2005 Gammon’s sculptural objects are created from a collection of Polaroid photographs that are layered upon one another: folded, refolded, taped and glued, and sometimes thrown away, later to be retrieved. Through her process, architectural forms are constructed and memory is involuntarily triggered. As Gammon says, "The camera snaps the picture and in a moment the reflected light records the room itself on the flat Polaroid surface. Here are the documents of these interiors, but memory isn't captured here. What the mind recalls is grey, murky and heavy with the memories of people and events. The mind recalls moving through one room and into another, connected now but in truth separated by years and geography." Gammon positions her work between the flat illusionistic space of photography and the volumetric physical space of sculpture, noting that "circulation versus stasis is one of the basic differences between experiencing sculpture versus photography and I am interested in the differences and connections that occur when represented space (i.e. the photograph) and presented space (i.e. the sculpture) meet."

Her spare compositions are encoded with memory and have a beguiling resonance. Based on contemplative looking as well as photographic research, the canvases and panels are painted in a quick yet deliberate manner with reduced forms and fluid brushstrokes. Gallace has had recent solo exhibitions of her work at 303 Gallery in New York; the Dallas Museum of Art; Michael Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles; Kerlin Gallery, Dublin; and Interim Art in London. She lives and works in New York City, and is currently teaching a graduate course in painting at Harvard University.

Kalervo Palsa From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Hugo Kalervo Palsa March 12 October 3 ), or Kalle was a Finnish artist in a style that has been described as fantastic realism Long neglected, Kalervo Palsa has enjoyed a revival of sorts since the publication of critical works, a biography and two major retrospectives in Helsinki and Pori Contents Life The art of Kalervo Palsa Influences Notable works ... edit Life His life evinced a good degree of northern madness. Among his local contemporaries of Kittil¤ in Lapland he had the reputation of a drunken artist masturbating at home and painting furiously. He felt haunted both by his perverse urges and the provincial and narrow-minded mental perimeter of his northern hometown. While he lived there, his abode was a tiny studio cabin which was closer to a shack than a house. He wired it for electricity by drawing a long extension cable from a nearby house. He called it his " Getsemane " after the biblical site, or sometimes his "castle in the clouds". Upon his death two rumors spread in the local community. One that he had in a drunken stupor collapsed into a snowbank, and died from exposure. The other that he had hung himself. The latter was more understandable, since several of his self-portraits featured a hangman's noose around his neck, and several other of his paintings also used the symbology of hanging. The real circumstances of his death - lying in bed with pneumonia, without anyone checking to see how he was doing - were perhaps, and regrettably more fitting to an artist, but not to the figure they knew.
