Contemporary Painting

The forgery of works of art, particularly pictures, is a serious evil that besets the art business world, quite apart from its depressive effect generally. The phenomenon is not new, but never before has it been more prejudicial, perhaps because contemporary painting is far easier to imitate than that of the past, and because of the increasing flow of money into the art markets. These two elements encourage the temptation to forgery, whilst the demand for pictures would possibly be even greater were it not for this nightmare that haunts likely purchasers.How can the world's art markets be restored to health? Clearly this problem can be tackled by a variety of means. It would resolve itself or would not exist were people honest and upright. The situation would be ameliorated if art buyers were more circumspect in their purchases and the experts consulted to confirm the authenticity of pictures were able to express firm opinions and were more of one mind among themselves. The question, however, may well be considered from another angle, to see whether an answer can be found—or at least considerably facilitated—even if the standard of reasonable care and the expertise of the experts remain as they are at present. We do not have in mind here the criminal and civil sanctions that already exist. Nor shall we inquire into the possibilities of the assistance which may be had from increasing the severity of such sanctions. We shall not examine nostrums but means of prevention.

The history of the Turkestan Jadid movement and the study of Jadid literature show that it has not been easy to study this subject. The socio-political environment of the time led to the blind reduction of the history of continuous development of Uzbek literature, artificial reduction of the literary heritage of the past on the basis of dogmatic thinking, neglect of the study of works of art and literary figures. As a result, the creation of literary figures of a certain period, no matter how important, remained unexplored.

The term intersemiotic lies at the core of contemporary approaches to semantics, literature, translation and anthropology. At first glance, its connection with text is only intermittent. There is however a blurred area of overlapping in which texts, histories, media and works of art come together to form a dynamic palimpsest of meanings. This paper aims to examine several cases in which momentous works of the past have managed to cross the boundaries of history, nations, languages and media. Their perception and influence have not always been the same, but their common denominator is the power and faculty to exert influence beyond their time and outside their domain. From Shakespeare to Kurosawa and from Cicero to Jerome, forms of art have metamorphosed to accommodate the prevailing beliefs of different eras, condemned in some and glorified in others. Centuries have gone by, but some bygones refuse to be bygones, making one wonder what their secret ingredient is, and to what they owe their everlasting perseverance. The elaboration of this paper shows that in order for a text to be able to endure centuries and to be as topical today as it used to be it the days of yore, it has to be both emphatic with general humanity, and malleable to other media and historical contexts. Just as Galileo gave in to the court of majority and still managed to rewrite the planetary history, so the works of art yield a bit of their own ingenuity every time they undergo an intersemiotic transformation, while at the same time being reborn, revitalized and fit for a new era and a new belief.

During the past decade, computers have broken through the barrier of human time. Today, computers can process data in milli-, micro- and even nanoseconds and can (inter) act autonomously in time frames that exceed our capacity to perceive and respond to. This produces a fundamental problem – a gap between human time and the time of computers – and raises important questions: how do big data and fast computation affect our experience and understanding of time? If a computer is able to deal with the world faster than we can, are we doomed to live forever in the past, however near the present? Or are we dealing with a technological extension of the present, and how might we be able to understand and experience this? By analysing theory and works of art, this text examines how to deal with the shock produced by microtemporal technologies.

One of the complaints about the development of military doctrine over the past several decades is that “we arealways preparing to fight the last war.” One of the complaints that surfaced during a four year long study into thedevelopment of a common framework for supply chain management curriculum development was that the text booksused in the curriculum development process were out of date. In other words, we are preparing students for the realworld by teaching them about the historical business world and not the emerging business world. While thisapproach may work in the liberal arts such as history, it is in the words of Freire, doing a disservice to the studentsand not adequately preparing them for the real world. This study looks at a methodology for developing businessschool curriculums in particular. The study reviewed syllabi, job announcements, and textbooks for the top ratedschools and for those not in the Top 25. The gap between what industry is asking for and what schools are teaching ismuch wider for the not-Top 25 schools than for the top ranked schools.

AbstractExecutive onboarding has become a popular technique in the business world during the past decade. However, the demonstrated success of traditional onboarding practices is mixed. We assert in this article that executive onboarding should be strategic, so that it not only prevents executive derailment, but accelerates contribution to optimize strategic achievement. We review the literature and identify six problematic areas externally hired executives often encounter when transitioning in to new organizations. It is recommended that effective onboarding should be tailored to the targeted organizations and executives to address specific transition issues. We propose a conceptual framework to implement onboarding on a strategic basis. It is hoped that such a review and conceptual discussion will enhance the effectiveness of onboarding experiences and increase the likelihood of success for executives hired from outside the organization.

Point Of Departure

Abstract The term kriya, which refers to the art utilizing the materials of crafts Like basket weaving, pottery, etc., can be discussed not only in the context of past art works (referring particularly, in this case, to the classical or traditional works of this art) but also in the context of those that look new and different from the ones from the past. For that reason, this reference to time - past and present - is the point of departure in this article. A reference to time contains a historic aspect. What is meant in this writing is none other than the movement based on the intention of creating art works which are new in character but using as their sources the traditional arts of Indonesia. This is the movement that has eventually given birth to or revived the aforementioned term for the art concerned here, has at the same time distinguished present from past works of this art, and has as simultaneously distinguished those works of art from mere handicrafts. Key Word: kriya

This paper is directed towards providing an Argentine perspective on the role of ethics in the business world. Although in the past several countries have investigated the institutionalization of ethics within corporate life, a concrete study into that field has never been properly undertaken in Argentina. However, a bird’s eye view of the ethics policies currently enforced in companies operating in Argentina creates an adequate context for understanding the ethics phenomenon as it has emerged in that country. To that effect, the major companies conducting business activities in Argentina were questioned on various subjects, ranging from company size to motivation behind providing an ethical background from which to do business, in order to allow a comprehensive analysis on company life in Argentina, as related to ethics. The survey conducted presented evidence that a wide sector of the Argentine business world believe ethics to be a factor of ever-growing importance, which would explain the relatively recent measures taken to instill ethical standards of conduct within corporations.

The purpose of the article is to show how the principle of historical continuity could be realized in order to make educational process more integral and purposeful. Research reveals relevance of historical continuity to the valuable forms of human’s spiritual activity. Main ideas which are developed in the article are based on the principles of the cultural policy elaborated by M. Lukšiene. The author of the article established a goal to evaluate art as a means to educate the sense and/or understanding of historical continuity, by the same token elevating perception of artworks to the metacognitive level and enlarging the field of historical and cultural contexts. Material of the investigation is laid by invoking the philosophical analysis of socio- and psychocultural phenomena and their impact on modernization of arts education. The role of the historical continuity and cultural awareness have activated during the last decades after the method of interpretation had intensified in valuable forms of human spiritual activity (moral, politics, aesthetics). So after such qualities of the works of art as depiction and/or craftsmanship had depreciated, the interpretation of the works of art and even the evaluation of interpretations sets in more and more robustly. In the presents of such or other contradictions the reform of European education has rippled by various different waves. As a result, the competence of democratic culture which enables the values, including artistic values, of democratic culture to implant to the attitudes of learners becomes the most essential orientation for teacher education. Development of democratic culture in EU defies such aspects of activity as knowledge and understanding of human rights, democratic participation and especially the development of competence for engaging in a meaningful and open - minded intercultural dialogue. Author is convinced that in order to realize and promote these ideas they should be accompanied by the development of the competence of dialogue with the past. Development of the competences of historical continuity and cultural context is increasing by mastering the ideas of great thinkers on education, including arts education, and helps to impersonate one of the most important domains of cultural heritage – educational potential of culture. In other words, historical continuity and cultural context are such core principles and values which can enable the development of the competence of full-rate intercultural dialogue. In case of arts education, when the paradigm of artistic thinking is rapidly changing, it is evident that an integrated history of artistic education should be developed. The main role of such academic course is not only to reveal cultural peculiarities of different countries but also to show the reasons of unequal educational power of different arts in different epochs. The role of historical continuity and cultural context is growing according to the development of digital technologies which are changing social conditions and possibilities of traditional artistic functions. Just the history of art and ideas of artistic education could balance both historical continuity of social artistic functions and involve learners into dialogue with the past.

Constantinople throughout the IV–VI centuries became the largest center for collecting monuments of ancient art. Initially, the incentive for this was the desire to decorate the new capital of the Roman Empire. Therefore, both collecting, and the arrangement of statues, bas-reliefs, obelisks, and architectural fragments on streets and squares had quite a chaotic character. The turning point came in the first decades of the V century when, after Theodosius the Great’s decree on the ban of pagan divine services, ancient sanctuaries, having been left without the care of the authorities, fell into full decay as a result of riots by fanatics and looting. As a result, the natural process of destruction began. With such events comes an incentive to preserve the creations of outstanding masters of the past which have their lost sacral function, and are considered as works of art. The collecting activity of Lavsos, the high-ranking imperial official, and owner of a large palace on the main city street dates back to this time. The article examines the motives for collecting ancient art’s masterpieces, among which were the works of Lysippos, Pheidias and Praksitel’s, their possible systematization and degree of availability to citizens. The research is based on written sources, compositions of the Byzantine authors, and on results of recent archeological excavations in the center of Istanbul, which revealed fragments of the palace of Lausos.

During the past ten years the impact of the internet on channel selection has been dramatic and pervasive throughout the business world. Yet strong arguments can be made that few industries have been as invasively affected as has the airlines industry. Currently travellers increasingly choose the websites to search for flight ticket or other things. This paper provides a report of a study that investigated customers’ perception towards purchase flight ticket online as well as why some people choose to use this facility and why some other still stick with the traditional method of buying flight ticket online. Hence, the three factors of online buying were examined in this study.
