Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe)

Prompt: Explain the Influences and scholarship about the Analysis of this artwork, Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe).

Art historian Britta Benke argues that due to "its meditative contemplation of individual objects", Summer Days is closer to a still life composition than to a landscape painting. Author Marjorie P. Balge-Crozier suggests that there is an art historical precedent to O'Keefe's combination of still life and landscape imagery seen in Summer Days. In particular, she points to the work of the French 18th-century painters Alexandre-François Desportes and Jean-Baptiste Oudry in which the artists combined "foreground displays of food, dead game, and dogs with background views of landscape or architecture".: 64  In her analysis of O'Keeffe's 1936 composition, Balge-Crozier also discusses the relevance of the American late 19th-century "trophy paintings" of artists like William Michael Harnett and his followers. Specifically, she references Harnett's 1885 composition titled After the Hunt which includes trompe-l'œil representations of "dead game" against weapons, a horn, and other objects commonly associated with American hunting traditions.: 64  At the same time, Balge-Crozier notes that trompe-l'oeil—a tradition of painting in which the artist depicts objects with the highest degree of verisimilitude so as to deceive the viewer into thinking the painted space is real—was not well suited to evoke the emotional response O'Keeffe "hoped for in the dialogue between nature and art".: 65  Discussing possible 20th-century inspirations, art historian Sasha Nicholas notes that Summer Days demonstrates O'Keeffe's "awareness of the incongruous aesthetic juxtapositions" present in the work of contemporary Surrealist artists in the United States and Europe.: 288  The influence of Surrealism in Summer Days is also noted by scholar Henry W. Peacock who finds a parallel between the visual components of O'Keeffe's 1936 painting and the "illusionistic and diminutive positive form floating in deep space" typical of some Surrealist paintings. Predating Surrealism, Whitaker points to O'Keeffe's long-standing interest in 19th-century Symbolist art which had to do with "suggestion, allusion, and equivalence", indicating that the artist was sympathetic to the Symbolist belief in the "curative" properties of form and color.: 194  When commenting on O'Keeffe's use of flowers in the composition, a very popular subject matter in her work, Peters speculates that the largest red flower, which she identifies as an Indian paintbrush, might be a "cryptic abstract portrait" of Stieglitz. She notes that creating non-representational portraits of other artists was encouraged and practiced in Stieglitz's New York circle, to which O'Keeffe belonged.: 195  Scholar and political scientist Timothy W. Luke argues that the artist's juxtaposition of skeletal imagery from the desert and flowers against the landscape of the Cerro Pedernal mesa or Abiquiu hills in New Mexico, evident in Summer Days and other compositions from that period, "directly tap into the mass culture's utopian vision of the West" already cultivated in numerous American literary works and movies made between the 1920s and 1950s.

Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe)

Prompt: Focus on Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe) and explain the History of ownership.

Following its first display at An American Place in 1937, the painting remained with O'Keeffe for several decades. It was later featured on the cover of Georgia O'Keeffe, an illustrated 1976 monograph of the artist's career published by Viking Press. In 1980, curator Ellen Bradbury and architect Edward Larrabee Barnes negotiated the acquisition of Summer Days for the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe for US$350,000. After being temporarily displayed in one of the museum's main galleries, financial disputes within the institution ultimately led to the acquisition being cancelled and the painting was soon returned to the artist. In 1983, the work was purchased by the American fashion designer Calvin Klein for US$1 million. In 1994, Klein donated Summer Days to the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. It has since been a part of the Whitney's permanent collection.

Little Princess statue

Prompt: Focus on Little Princess statue and explain the abstract.

The original 50 cm statuette of the Little Princess (Kiskirálylány) Statue sitting on the railings of the Danube promenade in Budapest, Hungary was created by László Marton (1925–2008) Munkácsy- and Kossuth Prize-winning sculptor in 1972.The artist was inspired by his eldest daughter born from his first marriage. She often played in the Tabán wearing a princess costume and a crown made out of newspaper by her father, and at home as well, pretending her bathrobes were a mantle. This image prompted her father, the artist in the creation of this little statue.László Marton writes: "Évike born from my first marriage, at the age of 5, was playing in a little princess costume in the Tabán playground. When I saw it, I immediately had the subject matter. Titled "Little Princess" I sculpted it as well. It was placed in an elegant location on the Danube promenade. Became a symbol of Budapest.""I modeled it after my own daughter – says László Marton in his studio (2007) – she was maybe six years old and playing in the garden. She dressed as a princess: laid a bathrobe on her shoulders and put a crown on her head. I managed to capture this moment and immediately felt that this was a successful work of art. Years later, the capital requested a statue from me. I immediately thought of the "Little Princess" and luckily we managed to find the place where the statue feels good."A larger size copy of this statue was placed on the Danube promenade in 1990, and a second copy in Tapolca, the artist's hometown. A copy of the same statue stands in Japan too – donated by the artist – in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space cultural center's concert hall. The original statuette (1972) is owned by Hungarian National Gallery.

The painting depicts a story about the fourth-century Christian Saint Martin of Tours.  The young Martin was according to legend a soldier serving in the army of Constantine the Great stationed in the French city of Amiens. On a winter's day while riding out of the city gates he saw a poor man shivering from the cold.  He promptly cut his cloak in half and gave one half to the beggar. That night while asleep he had a vision of Christ wearing the part of the cloak which he had given to the beggar.  Christ told the angels who surrounded him: "See how Martin has covered me with his cloak." Martin, who had converted to Christianity as a child but had become a soldier at his father's behest, then left the military to devote his life to the Christian faith.

Prompt: Focus on Saint Martin Dividing his Cloak (van Dyck) and explain the Description.

The painting shows the youthful Martin wearing a harness and a fashionable hat sitting on his splendid white horse. He has almost entirely cut his fire-red cloak in two with the sword in his right hand, while a naked beggar sitting on the ground to the right is pulling at one half of the cloak. Another beggar in rags on the right of the first one is kneeling while he supports himself with crutches. Behind these two figures is a section of wall with ivy and a column, suggesting a city gate. At the top left behind St Martin is an older man on horseback who is looking at the scene with an expression of astonishment. Behind the two riders is the silhouette of a man with a helmet and beyond this a beautiful sky with clouds, which creates the illusion of depth and vastness.This work is regarded as one of van Dyck's most Rubensian paintings: not only are the figures close to those of Rubens, but also the brushwork is influenced by Rubens. Instead of van Dyck's characteristic loose brushstroke, a smooth and opaque paint treatment was used, creating a very sculptural effect. The red color of the cloak, the light and dark flesh colors, bluish in the shadow and the whites and grays in the horse are also typical for Rubens' style.

Behind the two riders is the silhouette of a man with a helmet and beyond this a beautiful sky with clouds, which creates the illusion of depth and vastness.This work is regarded as one of van Dyck's most Rubensian paintings: not only are the figures close to those of Rubens, but also the brushwork is influenced by Rubens. Instead of van Dyck's characteristic loose brushstroke, a smooth and opaque paint treatment was used, creating a very sculptural effect. The red color of the cloak, the light and dark flesh colors, bluish in the shadow and the whites and grays in the horse are also typical for Rubens' style.

Prompt: Focus on Saint Martin Dividing his Cloak (van Dyck) and explain the History.

Julius Held has suggested that the Zaventem commission was first given to Rubens and that Rubens even produced a preliminary sketch but later handed the commission over to van Dyck, who was then an assistant in Rubens' workshop. The painting was then completed by van Dyck around 1618 and remained in his studio until it was installed in the Zaventem church in 1621. In 1621 the Chancellor of Brabant, Ferdinand van Boisschot wanted to donate a painting to the local parish church in Zaventem dedicated to St Martin.  He commissioned a painting of the saint from van Dyck who then used the existing painting to fill the order. According to a story, which has been debunked, van Dyck would have delivered the painting to van Boisschot en route from Antwerp to Italy when he decided to stay for some time in Zaventem as he had fallen in love with a pretty local woman named Anna van Ophem.The painting was temporarily moved to the residence of Baron van Boisschot in Brussels during the military campaigns of French king Louis XIV around 1672. It was, on the orders of the French government, removed from the church and taken in August 1794 to Paris where it was subsequently exhibited in the Musée Central in the Louvre.  The work was repatriated in 1815 after the defeat of the French and returned to the church in 1816.

A later, larger (243.1 x 242.5 cm) version of the painting on canvas is kept at Windsor Castle as part of the Royal Collection. This version dates from around 1620 and was probably left behind in Rubens' studio after van Dyck's departure that year. Several copies after this version exist, indicating it was still in Antwerp and available for other artists to copy. It was in Spain by the 1740s, where it was bought by Mr Bagnols and subsequently by Frederick, Prince of Wales before September 1747.In the Royal Collection painting the group of beggars was extended to include a woman, two children and a dog. The poses of the principal figures also differ between the two pictures.

Vue de toits (Effet de neige)

Prompt: Focus on Vue de toits (Effet de neige) and explain the abstract.

Vue de toits (Effet de neige) (English title: View of rooftops (Effect of snow)) is an oil painting by French impressionist Gustave Caillebotte executed in the winter of 1878 and 1879. The canvas measures 81 by 65 centimetres (32 in × 26 in). It was originally gifted by Caillebotte's brother in 1894 to the Musée du Luxembourg, then transferred to the Musée du Louvre in 1929. In 1947, it was moved to the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume, which held many impressionist works in France after World War II. In 1986, it was transferred again to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it is currently displayed. The painting is one of the few Caillebotte works that have remained in public view since the artist's death in 1894.Caillebotte created many paintings showing urban Paris from unexpected perspectives, such as a streetscape seen from indoors in Jeune homme à la fenêtre (1875), or the exaggerated perspective of Rue de Paris, temps de pluie (1877). Vue de toits depicts snow-covered rooftops in Montmartre, Paris from a high vantage point, possibly a balcony. Here Caillebotte employs a largely monochromatic palette of grays, adding additional color to highlight building features. This perspective was not at all common in French paintings, and in fact Caillebotte may have been inspired by the photographic works of Hippolyte Bayard.The painting was first shown at the fourth Impressionist Exhibition held in Paris in 1879, one of 25 works Caillebotte brought to the show. At the time, it did not garner much interest from the crowds, who preferred his portraits and nautical images. However, this image, and one other showing views of rooftops at that show, are now considered important works.

This perspective was not at all common in French paintings, and in fact Caillebotte may have been inspired by the photographic works of Hippolyte Bayard.The painting was first shown at the fourth Impressionist Exhibition held in Paris in 1879, one of 25 works Caillebotte brought to the show. At the time, it did not garner much interest from the crowds, who preferred his portraits and nautical images. However, this image, and one other showing views of rooftops at that show, are now considered important works.

Vue de toits (Effet de neige)

Prompt: In Vue de toits (Effet de neige), how is the abstract discussed?

Vue de toits (Effet de neige) (English title: View of rooftops (Effect of snow)) is an oil painting by French impressionist Gustave Caillebotte executed in the winter of 1878 and 1879. The canvas measures 81 by 65 centimetres (32 in × 26 in). It was originally gifted by Caillebotte's brother in 1894 to the Musée du Luxembourg, then transferred to the Musée du Louvre in 1929. In 1947, it was moved to the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume, which held many impressionist works in France after World War II. In 1986, it was transferred again to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it is currently displayed. The painting is one of the few Caillebotte works that have remained in public view since the artist's death in 1894.Caillebotte created many paintings showing urban Paris from unexpected perspectives, such as a streetscape seen from indoors in Jeune homme à la fenêtre (1875), or the exaggerated perspective of Rue de Paris, temps de pluie (1877). Vue de toits depicts snow-covered rooftops in Montmartre, Paris from a high vantage point, possibly a balcony. Here Caillebotte employs a largely monochromatic palette of grays, adding additional color to highlight building features. This perspective was not at all common in French paintings, and in fact Caillebotte may have been inspired by the photographic works of Hippolyte Bayard.The painting was first shown at the fourth Impressionist Exhibition held in Paris in 1879, one of 25 works Caillebotte brought to the show.

The Mass at Bolsena

Prompt: Focus on The Mass at Bolsena and explain the abstract.

The Mass at Bolsena is a painting by the Italian renaissance artist Raphael. It was painted between 1512 and 1514  as part of Raphael's commission to decorate with frescoes the rooms that are now known as the Raphael Rooms, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. It is located in the Stanza di Eliodoro, which is named after The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple.The Mass at Bolsena depicts a Eucharistic miracle that is said to have taken place in 1263 at the church of Santa Cristina in Bolsena. A Bohemian priest who doubted the doctrine of transubstantiation was celebrating mass at Bolsena, when the bread of the eucharist began to bleed. The blood that spouted from the host fell onto the tablecloth in the shape of a cross and he was reconverted. The following year, in 1264, Pope Urban IV instituted the Feast of Corpus Christi to celebrate this miraculous event. The blood-stained Corporal of Bolsena is still venerated as a major relic in the Orvieto Cathedral.Present in this painting is a self-portrait of the artist, Raphael, as one of the Swiss Guard in the lower right of the fresco, facing out with bound-up hair.  This is one of several instances in which Raphael has placed himself in his paintings.  Also shown in the work is Pope Julius II (1443–1513), kneeling at the right, and his daughter Felice della Rovere, shown on the left at the bottom of the steps, in profile, in dark clothes. The four cardinals to the right have also been identified as Leonardo Grosso della Rovere, Raffaello Riario, Tommaso Riario and Agostino Spinola, relatives of Julius.

The Vertical Earth Kilometer

Prompt: Focus on The Vertical Earth Kilometer and explain the Design.

The Vertical Earth Kilometer is an 18-ton round solid brass rod. It is five centimeters in diameter and one kilometer long. The rod is inserted into the earth so that a five-centimeter-wide end sits flush with the surface of the earth and is embedded in the center of a two-by-two-meter square red sandstone plate. The work is installed in Kassel, Germany, in Friedrichsplatz Park in front of the Fridericianum, and has no label or plaque marking it as artwork or explaining what it is.When viewing the top of the artwork, the only part visible from above ground, Ella Morton, a reporter for Slate magazine said "it looks like a coin that’s been dropped, forgotten, and trodden on over several decades," and Ken Jennings of Condé Nast Traveler notes that the work resembles a Kilometre zero marker seen in many European countries.Documenta proposes many interpretations of the piece including "the hidden rod is meant to prompt us to reflect on the Earth and its place in the universe" and "a symbolic act of restoring a valuable metal to the exploited Earth." Documenta also notes that The Vertical Earth Kilometer is a piece of Minimal, Conceptual, and Land art, the three "significant artistic strategies of the period."

The Vertical Earth Kilometer

Prompt: Focus on The Vertical Earth Kilometer and explain the History.

Created in 1977 for documenta 6: “Art in the media – media in art”, the Dia Art Foundation funded the barely visible but monumental sculpture. A Texas oil company was hired by De Maria, under the direction and supervision of the Kassel-based engineering firm of Hans Jurgen Pickel, to install the artwork. A narrow, one-kilometer-deep shaft was bored, cutting through six geological layers. The brass rod was lowered into the bore hole in segments, which were screwed together as they went, to form the full one-kilometer rod. It took 79 days to install the work, during which locals had to endure loud drilling noises. Locals were also unhappy with the total cost of the virtually invisible artwork, 750,000 Deutsche Marks (approximately US$2 million in 2016 values).The Vertical Earth Kilometer has been on permanent public display since it was installed in 1977, and is maintained by the Dia Art Foundation as one of the eleven locations and sites they manage.In 1979, De Maria created The Broken Kilometer as a companion piece to The Vertical Earth Kilometer. It is in the SoHo neighborhood in New York City and uses a brass rod of the same weight, length, and diameter as this work.
