Belles Lettres

There are topics in art that always sound contemporary, so we often come back to them. One of them is Belles lettres and Painting. There are two perhaps even three different theses for this problem. The first is that fiction and fine arts are too far apart from each other as a type of art. The second thesis is that the arts have not only their major and significant differences, but also their undeniable similarities. Such is the perception of the French and German romantics. According to them, in the different historical eras, aesthetic trends and directions (genres) form close artistic styles, criteria and tastes as well as similar literary, plastic and musical imagery. And the third thesis is neutral. It seeks to harmonize the first two – different in expressive means, but similar in ideological and emotional impact respectively to the reader, viewer or listener.

May I begin by extending the warmest possible welcome on behalf of the Royal Society to all of you, and a particular welcome to all those who have been so kind as to agree to speak at this meeting. I should like also to give especial greetings to our many visitors from abroad. We are delighted to see you here in London. The Royal Society of London, in its fourth century of work to foster science and technology, is more than ever concerned to arrange discussions of those subjects that involve interactions between different specialist disciplines. Admittedly, during the third and fourth of those centuries, thousands of Specialist societies have grown up, and have done excellent and distinguished work within particular disciplines. Nevertheless, there are many very complicated borderline areas, which specialized bodies are prone to ignore, and these are where a Society with a very broad field of interest and expertise can play an important part. Recently the Royal Society has gone still farther, and taken particular interest in interactions with subjects somewhat outside the normal field of science and technology; subjects like demography and archaeology. Today and tomorrow we are concerned, not only with science and technology in the shape of aerodynamics and structural engineering, but also with both the arts and social studies, in the shape of one of the classical fine arts—architecture—and one of the characteristic systematizing fields of work of the twentieth century, that of socio-economic planning.

Summary This is an attempt at examining Zygmunt Krasiński’s opinions and preferences with regard to the fine arts, a theme many critics believed to be missing from his writings. While putting things right, this article looks at the issues involved in his artistic choices, for example, what works or artists attracted his attention, in general, and to the point of him actually drawing on them in his own work or provoking him to some response (critical, approving, emotional, etc.). Furthermore, the article tries to explore the reasons and circumstances which may account for Krasiński’s interest in a given painting, print, or sculpture. It may have been the work’s theme as in the case of his ekphrasis of Ary Scheffer’s Dante and Virgil Encountering the Shades of Francesca and Paolo Di Rimini, where literary tradition provided the impulse, or the mode of its execution, or the personal ties with its author, or, finally, some other factors, like a current vogue or simply Krasiński’s individual sensitivity. The ultimate aim of all these inquiries is to outline Krasiński’s relationship with the arts (beaux arts) in the context of the aesthetic preferences of the epoch.

This volume tells the little-known story of the Dominican Family—priests, sisters, brothers, contemplative nuns, and lay people—and integrates it into the history of the United States. Starting after the Civil War, the book takes a thematic approach through twelve essays examining Dominican contributions to the making of the modern United States by exploring parish ministry, preaching, health care, education, social and economic justice, liturgical renewal and the arts, missionary outreach and contemplative prayer, ongoing internal formation and renewal, and models of sanctity. It charts the effects of the United States on Dominican life as well as the Dominican contribution to the larger U.S. history. When the country was engulfed by wave after wave of immigrants and cities experienced unchecked growth, Dominicans provided educational institutions; community, social, and religious centers; and health care and social services. When epidemic disease hit various locales, Dominicans responded with nursing care and spiritual sustenance. As the United States became more complex and social inequities appeared, Dominicans cried out for social and economic justice. Amidst the ugliness and social dislocation of modern society, Dominicans offered beauty through the liturgical arts, the fine arts, music, drama, and film, all designed to enrich the culture. Through it all, the Dominicans cultivated their own identity as well, undergoing regular self-examination and renewal.

Ecological Values

This research was done as an effort to observe, write, and publicize  eco-activism and achievements by a number of eco-actors in the midst of an increasingly natural environmental crisis, to be used as stimuli and teaching materials for the course of  EcoArt. A number of artists practicing ecoartivism were purposively selected as a sample; their works and achievements are exposed. They are Endar Progresto, Widya Purwoko, Bernadeta Pudiasminarsih (Dyas Ecoprint), and Nasirun. These eco-activists not only work ecologically real, but also creatively communicate ecological values to surrounding communities to change. Nevertheless campaigning this environmental crisis for the better cannot be done partially, but must be jointly supported, organized and socialised continuously. For this reason, their works and achievements, as well as their individual ecoartivism need to be exposed, documented, and assembled as one unit as part of selected subjects of the EcoArt Course in the Fine Arts Department of the Indonesia Institute of the Arts Yogyakarta, to generate  enthusiasm in articulating or representing ecological concerns for ecosystem sustainability and preservation of natural environment through Art.

Alvaro Siza

Álvaro Siza Vieira (1933) began his training at the Architecture Department of the School of Fine Arts in Porto (EBAP) in 1949, one year after the 1st Congress of Portuguese Architects (1948), which became known as the congress of modern architects. There were two fine arts schools at the time in Portugal, in Porto and Lisbon (EBAP and EBAL), both with an equivalent curriculum that was coordinated by the state. Siza attended the course based on the “beaux arts” programs of 1932, concluding the curricular part of his course in 1955 and presenting his final graduation design in 1965. But by this time, Portuguese education in the arts had already switched to “modern”curricula (1952-57 Reform). The following year, having already seen some of his important works built, Siza began his career as assistant professor at the school in Porto.

For the past three semesters in the Fine Arts Program at Allan Hancock College, student researchers have been sampling, researching, and firing natural clay deposits found in the campus region. Students research local clays by firing them at various temperatures and adding variable fluxes to experiment with eutectic melting points. A cooperative work experience project is being piloted to develop a model outreach/interdisciplinary curricular guide for the Minerals Resources Program.

The article studies the magnitude of teamwork as an effective form of collaboration when realizing a creative project through mural techniques. To exemplify the context of the theoretical part, we review the concept, the process and the result of the project “EcoARTologiA – Stained Glass Gallery in the Open Air”, realized with students and teachers from the Department of Mural Painting in the Fine Arts Faculty at “St. Cyril and St. Methodius” University of Veliko Tarnovo. Project analysis in the context of the topic dwells on the frames of reference towards the project activities which illustrate why a creative team is considered an effective form of collaborative action in the arts. In terms of artistic achievements and successful realization of aesthetically valuable works in the classical technique of stained glass painting the results confirm the success of the joint creative activity anticipated from the project. The article is intended for professionals interested in the interdisciplinary collaboration between the fields related to the contemporary visual dimensions of mural monumental arts and the importance of project activities for monumental arts education.
