Whistler and Nature
Author: Patricia De Montfort
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781911300496
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
This innovative and compelling study reconsiders Whistler?s work from the context of his military service and his relationship with ?nature at the margins?. Whistler came from a family of soldiers and engineers; his father, Major George Washington Whistler, was originally a US military engineer. Drawing and mapmaking were important components of the military training that Whistler acquired as an officer cadet at West Point Academy in 1851-4 and subsequently in the Drawing Department at the US Coast and Geodetic Survey, where he attempted to realise his father?s hopes that he would make engineering or architecture his profession. These influences in turn shaped Whistler?s attitude towards nature, as expressed in works ranging from his celebrated London ?Nocturnes? to his French coastal scenes ? all of which were created after Whistler moved permanently to Europe in 1855.00Exhibition: Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park, UK (20.10.-16.12.2018) / The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK (08.01.-17.03.2019) / Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK (30.03.-16.06.2019).

Whistler and Artistic Exchange between Japan and the West
Author: Ayako Ono
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000877094
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
Ono examines cross-cultural artistic exchange between the West and Japan from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Studies of Japonisme have been dominated by searching out relationships of influence between artworks–trying to identify which specific works influenced a particular artist. Ono argues that a more holistic understanding of 'spillover effects' is necessary in fully comprehending the nuances of these relationships. She bases this argument on documents and works of art in the context of globalisation, looking at the relationships between James McNeill Whistler and others with their contemporaries in the Japanese artistic and literary worlds. This was a more complex two-way exchange than is often appreciated, with Western artists taking inspiration from (to them) new Japanese styles, while Japanese artists and writers were trying to craft a 'modern', more western-influences style to reflect the modern nation of Japan emerging onto the world stage after centuries of relative isolation. A fascinating analysis of the role of globalisation and cultural exchange in the development of new and hybrid artforms, that will be essential reading for scholars of this fascinating period in international art history.

Nature, Speculation and the Return to Schelling
Author: Tyler Tritten
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351379429
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Two decades ago, Schelling first resurfaced in Žižek’s Indivisible Remainder, and the same argumentative move of redeploying Schellingian themes for contemporary ends has continued to play a significant role in critical theory since (Markus Gabriel, Iain Hamilton Grant, Jean-Luc Nancy). All the articles in this volume attempt to take seriously the idea of Schelling as a contemporary philosopher: Schelling is read in dialogue with key figures in the canon of European philosophy and critical theory (Alain Badiou, Émilie du Châtelet, Gilles Deleuze, Paul de Man, Quentin Meillassoux, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Gilbert Simondon, Slavoj Žižek), as well as in light of recent trends in analytic philosophy (Brandomian pragmatism, powers-based metaphysics and semantic naturalism) – and such readings are not meant merely to highlight Schellingian influences or resonances in contemporary thinking but rather to challenge and interrogate current orthodoxies by insisting upon the contemporaneity of Schellingian speculation. That is, the aim is both to evaluate and constructively build upon this repeated return to Schelling: to probe, to diagnose and to experiment on the latent Schellingianisms of the present and the future. This book was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities.
