Жорж Папазов: между сюрреализма и лиричната абстракция

Author(s): Kalin Nikolov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2023

The article traces the dramatic vicissitudes of the life of the Bulgarian artist Georgi Papazov (Bulgaria, 1894–France, 1972). He was among the first artists to develop automatic painting as a way of overriding previously established techniques in drawing. Along with Juan Miró, André Masson, and Max Ernst, Malkin emerged as one of the first representatives of Surrealism as a movement in art. However, Papazov chose not to become an official member of the Surrealists so that he could freely experiment with other artistic styles without compromising his position in the group. He pursued his own interests in the art world, ranging from automatic painting and surrealism to expressionism, lyrical abstraction, and color-field painting. Shocked by their sectarianism, he refused to join the movement, which cost him complete neglect by historians of surrealism, as Jean-Paul Crispell wrote.

ისტორიული „ბასიანის“ მეგალითური კულტურა

Author(s): Kakha Shengelia,Teimuraz Khutsishvili,Nodar Aronishidze / Language(s): Georgian Issue: 9/2023

First of all, it should be noted that the present letter includes the research of one part of the material culture monuments of the historical Basiani region, currently in Eastern Turkey (Fasinler, Kofrukoy) - samples of megalithic, cyclopean construction. We note here that the aim of the work is the primary, scientific presentation of the material identified by the expedition team. Part of the material found by us as a result of field-expedition works is published for the first time - thus, an attempt of scientific study is attached to it in the form of historical-cultural analysis of the region, scientific annotation of cultural monuments and their classification-dating. The issues raised within the research, conclusions, attempts to date and classify the monuments are obviously primary in nature and require future study. In the Basiani region (Turkey), within the scope of the expeditions, we traced more than two dozen monuments of megalithic culture, although the present letter will present an attempt at scientific analysis of only about ten of them. A large part of the mentioned monuments have been destroyed almost to the ground, which complicates the possibility of a more or less complete scientific reasoning about them. Monuments with plans that have survived in a relatively complete form were selected for the study - it was by taking into account planning features, construction techniques and materials that the typological differences of the given cyclopean construction were highlighted. Different types of planning, construction techniques and materials allow us to more or less determine the time range of the construction of monuments. It is important that a complete study of the mentioned monuments is impossible without archaeological excavations. Nevertheless, the art-scientific analysis of the presented group of monuments gave us important results, which became even clearer in the light of historical research. By analyzing the historical sources and studying the morphology of the monuments, it was possible to determine the general time range of the construction of this large group of almost destroyed buildings.

ერთი ირანული ფერწერის ატრიბუციისთვის - ქალბატონი მოახლით - ინტერდისციპლინარული კვლევა

Author(s): Irina Koshoridze,Grigol Beradze,Sesili Sordia,Gvantsa Potskhishvili / Language(s): Georgian Issue: 9/2023

The paper discusses the results of the interdisciplinary research of one of the Qajar paintings "Lady with Servant" preserved in the Sh. Amiranashvili Art Museum, Georgian National Museum. Still in his historical monograph on Qajar easel painting, Sh. Amiranashvili attribute this painting to the so-called the folk stream of Iranian Art and dates it to the second half of the 19th century. The method of artistic-stylistic analysis of the painting, as well as interdisciplinary studies, revealed an inscription on it, according to which it was possible to determine the depicted story, and also, additional research and the study of the general trends of the monuments of the folk stream allowed us to determine the story depicted on the canvas, in particular, the story of Prince Bahram Gur and one of the episodes of his love affair with the Chinese princess Gulandam. The comparative analysis of parallel material and monuments of material culture allowed us to more accurately date the painting by the 40s-50s of the 19th century.

Jela i pića stari su kao i čovječanstvo. Motivi jela i pića zapisani su u djelima mnogobrojnih književnika. U rad su uvrštena školska lektirna djela iz Hrvatskog jezika za gimnazije iz književnopovijesnog razdoblja nazvanog realizam koje je u europskoj književnosti trajalo 1830-ih – 1870-ih godina, a u hrvatskoj književnosti 1881. – 1892./1895. godine. H. de Balzac, G. Flaubert (francuska književnost), N. V. Gogolj, I. S. Turgenjev, L. N. Tolstoj, F. M. Dostojevski (ruska književnost), E. Kumičić, A. Kovačić, K. Š. Gjalski, J. Kozarac i V.

DIFUZIJA FLORALNOG STILA U ANADOLIJI I OSMANSKOM CARSTVU

DIFUZIJA FLORALNOG STILA U ANADOLIJI I OSMANSKOM CARSTVU

Author(s): Walter B. Denny / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 93/2023

The article “The Diffusion of Floral Style in Anatolia and Ottoman Empire” by renowned professor Walter B. Denny, one of the leading experts in the history of Islamic arts in general, and in the field of carpets and textiles in particular, relays about the spread of the Ottoman court-floral style throughout the Ottoman Empire, its geographical routes as well as its social diffusion from the court, through villages and nomadic milieu. One of the most characteristic symbols of this style is the carnation which travelled from the Ottoman court brocade to the Anatolian village kilim in its geometricized and stylized form. Scholarly research in the field of carpets, rugs and textiles as a part of the Islamic arts is very rare in our region where its latest discoveries are almost unattainable to an extent that whatever someone claims to be true in this field ultimately is regarded as the truth. Public discourse here in this regard is still stained with false, and in scholarly circles already decades ago denounced theory of the “mother goddess” motif which proved to be, as Professor Denny will explain here a mere fabrication. He demonstrates here that the motif which Western authors, in a surge of the New Age philosophy, have interpreted as “mother goddess” is actually stylized and geometricized carnation motif. The significance of this knowledge to designers of mosque carpets needs no further be stressed.

Дедукция на категориите в една дефиниция за изкуство

Author(s): Ivan Kolev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2023

In contemporary literature, the most authoritative on the definition of art is the institutional theory that emerged as a response to the radicalizations in modern art associated with ready-made, pop art, conceptualism and other movements. In familiar versions of institutional theory, the participants in the so-called “artworld” (Arthur Danto's term) are enumerated “rhapsodically”, to use Kant's famous expression. In this context, the article is an attempt to “deduce the categories” by which art is defined, using the categorizing positions of the participants in this “artworld”. In order to justify the approach and to relate the problematic to traditional philosophical issues, a brief overview of the “doctrine of categories” (Kategorienlehre) is given.

Proliferacija motiva izgona trgovaca iz Hrama u slikarstvu 16. stoljeća: urbanosociološki kontekst

Proliferacija motiva izgona trgovaca iz Hrama u slikarstvu 16. stoljeća: urbanosociološki kontekst

Author(s): Džana Mehmedović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 23/2023

This paper aims to provide the urban-sociological context for the significant proliferation of the topic of Christ Cleansing the Temple in 16th-century painting. Widely accepted interpretations of this phenomenon consider it exclusively in the context of the Counter-Reformation, i.e. the Catholic Revival, considering the topic to be a symbol of the rejection of Protestant dogma or, otherwise, the Church's struggle against the demoralization of its clerics. The Counter-Reformation context is indisputably significant. However, certain socioeconomic processes that mark the 16th century, such as the development of protocapitalism in Italy, i.e. the establishment of year-round trade in the city and the emergence of a new, politically and economically dominant class of merchants and bankers, also emerge as an aspect worth examining. French sociologist Henri Lefebvre considered the 16th century to be a turning point in the development of urban forms and pointed out the connection between this biblical story and the disdain for the restructuring of the city which was due to those changes. Owing to his theses on the production of space, we will observe a dual involvement of the Church in the motions of inhibition and initiation of processes which, by producing a new type of space, disrupt the balance that ensured its material and symbolic power.

Iconotropy of images of Saint Barbara from the Upper Silesian coal mines: the case of “Graf Franz” / “Wawel” mine

Iconotropy of images of Saint Barbara from the Upper Silesian coal mines: the case of “Graf Franz” / “Wawel” mine

Author(s): Beata Piecha van Schagen / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2022

The article discusses the formal changes to the image of Saint Barbara from the “Graf Franz” / “Wawel” coal mine and the accompany¬ing ontological changes to the object in the light of politically and eco¬nomically motivated transformations. The images of Saint Barbara placed in the pit head buildings of the coal mines in Upper Silesia particularly intensively at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries were objects of religious cult, and were mostly created by the professional artists. As objects of miners’ piety, based on devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, they represented the idea of an art object unified with theology. During the communist rule in Poland, the statue of Saint Bar¬bara was removed from the pit head building and hidden by the miners, and given the status of a symbol of resistance against the state authorities. The returning of the image to the pithead building in 1980 and repainting it with technical paint made it a religious and political symbol, while also serving as an apotropaic object. After the liquidation of the “Wawel” mine, the sculpture, covered with a realistic polychrome, serves as a devotional object in the Church of Saint Pius X in Ruda Śląska.

In hoc signo vinces. Znaki krzyża na elewacjach domów w powiecie raciborskim

Author(s): Kornelia Lach / Language(s): Polish Issue: 7/2019

The Racibórz County is located in the south of Poland and covers the southwesternmost part of the Province of Silesia. This area is a treasury of interesting products of spiritual and material culture. A good example of this are the signs of the holy cross on the facades of houses. Most often they are found on the front walls, but they also appear on the walls facing the yard. Sometimes they are concave signs carved in plaster, and some¬times they are convex, that is, the cross is slightly above the surface of the wall. Some crosses are formed of bricks. A cross made of two mirror strips or geometrically cut mirror pieces is very popular in the studied area. The crosses are sometimes surrounded with ornaments with floral motifs and/ or the initials of the founders, or with the date of the house’s construction. This architectural detail, being a material religious symbol, proves the fa¬ith of past generations and is an image of the values that ancestors lived by, an expression of the religious, moral, aesthetic and cultural needs of the local communities.

Architectural Decoration of Christian Churches in Some Regions of Caucasus between 10th and 11thCenturies: An Attempt to Reconstruct the Decorative System

Architectural Decoration of Christian Churches in Some Regions of Caucasus between 10th and 11thCenturies: An Attempt to Reconstruct the Decorative System

Author(s): Ekaterina Endoltseva / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

In course of the long-term research on the architectural decoration of Christian churches in Abkhazia and Southern Ossetia, there has been gathered a great number of important materials (that help to correct the date of some groups of artefacts and to identify some new subjects, as well as to put them in the artistic context of the life of the Byzantine Empire and its periphery in the period between the 10th and the beginning of the 11th centuries). However, lapidary collections that originate from these regions have not been studied from the point of view of function and its reliefs. It is necessary to separate the fragments of the altar barriers from the ones of the facades of the Christian churches. Studying of the analogies from the neighboring regions (modern territory of Georgia, Armenia, Asia Minor, other parts of the Byzantine Empire) and using the modern methods of research (3D reconstructions) could permit to visualize many principal monuments (small forms and monumental decoration) that originate from the above-mentioned regions. Such research is important for the studying of the artistic culture of these regions in the period of the genesis of the self-conscience of their tribes (end of the 9th cent. – beginning of the 11th cent.) and their separation from the political and cultural influence of the hegemon, that is the Byzantine Empire. Reconstruction of some monuments (altar barriers, decorative system of the facades) and drafting of the typological lines could afford us to demonstrate the meaning of the two regions for the Christian culture of the Southern Caucasus in the period concerned. It is also important to show their interrelations with the neighboring territories. Actuality of the problem is proved by the active research led, for example, in Georgia, Russian Federation, France, etc. Originality of research is proved by the fact that small forms and facade decoration of the Christian churches in Abkhazia and Southern Ossetia in the period in question have not been systematically studied yet. The previous studies focused on the paleo Christian period and the dates supposed for some key monuments have been essentially corrected by recent research. Meanwhile, this territory (Western Georgia, passes between Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Abkhazia, Southern Ossetia and Racha) played a decisive role in the formation of the original type of medieval artistic Christian conscience.

THE TEACHER, CONDUCTOR AND COMPOSER GAVRIIL MUSICESCU (1847-1903). ON THE 120TH ANNIVERSARY OF PASSING INTO ETERNITY

Author(s): Marius-George Coșarcă / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2023

This study marks the 120th anniversary of passing into eternity of the teacher, conductor and composer Gavriil Musicescu. We present aspects of his life, alongside multiple and creative activities which contributed to the development of Romanian music in the second half of the nineteenth century. In addition to his original works, there are also religious choral and traditional processed masterpieces, to which are added numerous translations and theoretical writings, as well as articles published in Iași of that time. He imposed himself among his contemporaries, and for future generations he remained an unparalleled model, as his work constituting, at the same time, a fundamental source of scientific documentation for researchers.

“WHAT IS ART? HORIZONS OF THE CREATOR AND THE RECIPIENT”

“WHAT IS ART? HORIZONS OF THE CREATOR AND THE RECIPIENT”

Author(s): Alina EPÎNGEAC / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

I recall a quiet evening twenty-or-so years ago; the teenager I was back then was mesmerized by the piercing blue eyes of a young Don Quixote whispering through his lips a heart-felt monologue: “When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!” That voice, that intonation, that humanity which struck with so much power with every consonant stuck to my memory. I too, as a Quixote, infuriated by platitude, stereotypes, ignorance, hypocrisy, bored with canons and small thoughts formulated in such a way as to resemble greatness, ashamed of my own superficial — at times narrow — views, burst into the same adapted soliloquy: The maddest of all — to ask what art is and not what it should be.

THE POLITICS OF ART TODAY BEING SINGULAR-PLURAL

THE POLITICS OF ART TODAY BEING SINGULAR-PLURAL

Author(s): MEHMET ŞIRAY / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

In his book The Muses, Jean-Luc Nancy states that when we go to the roots of the names of the muses, we find the meanings of enthusiasm, excitement, desire, and haste. At the same time, muses have also been used to mean those who desire to do and know something. In Ancient Greece, the muses define the moment of inspiration itself; artistic creation is chanted by inspiration. In this context, it would not be wrong to say that the muses point to a poetic vitality in Homeric times. Representing a divine power, muses were conceived in plural form in Ancient Greece. In the modern world, our conception has evolved into a different form over time.

The presented statement is part of the volume it covers a variety of responses from people who interact with art in different ways. The aim is to suggest to the participant of the contemporary world a new, personal perspective to rethink what is this area of our world that we label with art; thoughts with and without theoretical suggestions - reflections by the creators and reflections by the audience, teaching humility and uniqueness, perhaps - forming a fresh perspective on art.

Clothing displayed in museums: from conservation to innovative design representations

Clothing displayed in museums: from conservation to innovative design representations

Author(s): Oksana Lahoda,Zoya Alferova,Vladyslava Hurdina / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The presentation in museum exhibitions of samples of historical clothing, fashionable costumes from different periods and conceptual costumes of our time has acquired particular relevance. The development of exhibition design has attracted the attention of gallery owners, curators and representatives of the scientific community. The general cultural significance of the practices of preserving the heritage of material and artistic cultures and their representations synthesises traditional and innovative approaches to reconstruction, conservation and perception of costume, while remaining poorly studied. The strategies of contemporary curatorial practices form alternative approaches to fashion exhibitions and their organisation. In the information society, fashion exhibitions have become self-sufficient art projects that require careful scientific consideration.

Author(s): Artur Kolbiarz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2023

Artistic projects created within the framework of the Cistercian patronage in Krzeszów are among the most important achievements in Baroque architecture and sculpture in Sile- sia. The current article attempts to thoroughly verify the existing knowledge regarding the modernisation of the furnishings and decoration of the medieval abbey church in Krzeszów, carried out in the second half of the 17th and the early 18th century, and to consider the guild practices of the sculptors and carpenters working for the Cistercians at that time. On the basis of archival sources and early printed materials, the author concluded, contrary to previous findings, that the craftsmen working in Krzeszów were not employed in one workshop under the management of the sculptor Georg Schrötter, but in separate workshops cooperating with each other – a fact that may have an impact on the issues of attribution and dating of the activity of individual groups of artists. Schrötter produced only the figural sculptures, while the altars and other furnishings together with their ornamentation were designed and made by the woodcarvers Stephan Kose and Christoph Hoffmann. In addition, Hoffmann did not start working for the Krzeszów abbey after Kose’s death in 1698, as hitherto thought, but had been employed there since the mid-1670s.

Niedośpiewana polityczność. O Toaście Agnieszki Osieckiej

Author(s): Wojciech Ratajczak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2023

The article discusses Agnieszka Osiecka’s poem Toast, found in manuscript only after the poet’s death. The author begins by looking at the strategies of functioning in the reality of communist Poland employed by the author of Biała bluzka (White Blouse). In particular, however, he draws attention to Osiecka’s reaction to the declaration of martial law as the main reason for her confronting the poem form. In the rest of the argument, the author interprets Toast, defining it – adopting the term proposed by Jacek Łukasiewicz – as a multi-voice, medium- sized poem with a lyrical dominance. He also looks at the linguistic side of the work, paying particular attention to the typical as well as different patterns used by the poet for the language of martial law poetry. In concluding, the author draws attention to the role that the very attempt to write the poem played in Osiecka’s correction of her creative technique so that the language of her songs was in line with the new socio-political reality of the 1980s.
