Henry Ford Hospital (painting)

Prompt: In Henry Ford Hospital (painting), how is the Pregnancy and loss discussed?

Frida Kahlo had a complicated obstetric/gynecological medical history. She survived a catastrophic traffic accident in which her pelvis had been broken and her vagina had been pierced by a metal bar. She likely had uterine scarring. She also had post-polio symptoms; her father had epilepsy, which she was apparently concerned would be a genetic trait passed on to her children; she was plagued with chronic back pain and assorted infections; and by all accounts she desperately wanted to have a baby fathered by her husband, the muralist Diego Rivera. Kahlo was 24 years old at the time of her summer 1932 pregnancy. Per Kahlo's biographer Hayden Herrera, on 26 May she wrote her friend and advisor Dr. Leo Eloesser that she was two months pregnant and had first gone to see Dr. Pratt at Henry Ford Hospital approximately a week prior. In the letter she itemized her doubts about her ability to deliver a healthy child, challenges with her schedule, her lack of family support, and Rivera's inability to parent. (Kahlo considered Rivera to be an infant of sorts, and painted him as such on at least one occasion.) Dr. Pratt gave Kahlo castor oil (a purgative known to induce uterine contractions) and quinine, which together was a formula for inducing miscarriage, i.e., a medical abortion. After approximately six days of mild spotting, she returned to Dr. Pratt. He told her she was still pregnant, that he thought she could and should stay pregnant, and that a Caesarean delivery was possible and would solve the problems that she foresaw with her pregnancy. Kahlo had written Dr. Eloesser about her ambivalence, seeking his direction about whether or not to pursue a surgical abortion (presumably dilation and curettage or dilation and evacuation). But after she sent the first letter, per Herrera, "Frida had decided against [a surgical] abortion, hoping against hope that Dr. Pratt was right."The artist Lucienne Bloch, who was living with Rivera and Kahlo in Detroit, reported that by the end of June, Kahlo was spotting (early pregnancy bleeding), cramping, and nauseated, but also refusing to return to Dr. Pratt. By the night of 4 July, Kahlo was in severe pain and bleeding heavily. Rivera called for an ambulance on the morning of 5 July. In her diary, Bloch described Kahlo as being taken away by the doctor in "the agonies of birth...out of the pool of blood she had made...the huge clots of blood she kept losing."Per another letter from Kahlo to Eloesser, the fetus "did not take form since it came out all disintegrated." This language suggests a non-viable pregnancy and subsequent decomposition. Kahlo remained in the hospital until 17 July. Whether the experience depicted in both Henry Ford Hospital and a related untitled lithograph should be characterized as an abortion or a miscarriage remains a topic of contention in art scholarship.

Henry Ford Hospital (painting)

Prompt: Focus on Henry Ford Hospital (painting) and explain the Picture.

In this surrealist self-portrait the artist lies in a floating hospital bed surrounded by blood and totems representing her experience and emotions. Foremost amongst these symbols is the fetus itself, centered and central. While she was still in the hospital, Kahlo asked for medical illustrations that described her fetus and the human biology of pregnancy loss, but the doctors refused her request. Instead, Diego Rivera got her human anatomy textbooks. Obstetricians have described Kahlo's depictions of female anatomy and reproductive experiences as "strikingly accurate and incredibly detailed."In the painting, Kahlo depicts herself naked, breasts and pubic hair exposed, openly weeping. She is tethered by red threads to a teaching model of female reproductive anatomy, a snail ("a private allusive reference"), a piece of steel-gray medical equipment (possibly an autoclave), a purple orchid, and a human pelvis bone. The tether to the fetus lacks a bow and may be an umbilical cord, an image that appears elsewhere in Kahlo's oeuvre. The fetus has male genitalia and translucent eyelids, and appears to be about 33 weeks gestation. The orchid, a lavender cattleya, was a gift from Diego Rivera. This painting is the only image of an orchid in her artwork.A horizon line cuts through the background of the painting, in the distance is Ford's River Rouge complex. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo had come to Detroit because Edsel Ford had commissioned the Detroit Industry murals for the Detroit Institute of Arts.Henry Ford Hospital is one of several Kahlo artworks that include simultaneously medically accurate and surrealist images of reproduction; her painting My Birth (1932) is another major example.

Hokusai Manga

Prompt: Focus on Hokusai Manga and explain the abstract.

The Hokusai Manga (北斎漫画, "Hokusai's Sketches") is a collection of sketches of various subjects by the Japanese artist Hokusai. Subjects of the sketches include landscapes, flora and fauna, everyday life and the supernatural.The word manga in the title does not refer to the contemporary story-telling manga, as the sketches in the work are not connected to each other. While manga has come to mean "comics" in modern Japanese, the word was used in the Edo period to mean informal drawings, possibly preparatory sketches for paintings.Block-printed in three colours (black, gray and pale flesh), the Hokusai Manga comprises thousands of images in ten volumes from 1814 to 1819, with five volumes added in 1834 to 1878. The first volume was published in 1814, when the artist was 55.The final three volumes were published posthumously, two of them assembled by their publisher from previously unpublished material. The final volume was made up of previously published works, some not even by Hokusai, and is not considered authentic by art historians.

Hokusai Manga

Prompt: Focus on Hokusai Manga and explain the Publication history.

The preface to the first volume of the work, written by Hanshū Sanjin (半洲散人), a minor artist of Nagoya, suggests that the publication of the work may have been aided by Hokusai's pupils. Part of the preface reads:This autumn the master [Hokusai] happened to visit the Western Province and stopped over at our city [Nagoya]. We all met together with the painter Gekkōtei Bokusen (月光亭墨僊) [Utamasa II, well-known Nagoya artist, pupil of Hokusai’s, and collator of Hokusai’s later work] at the latter’s residence, it being a very joyous occasion. And there over three hundred sketches of all kinds were made – from immortals, Buddhas, scholars, and women on down to birds, beasts, grasses, and trees, the spirit of each captured fully by the brush.The final volume is considered spurious by some art historians.The initial publication is usually credited to Eirakuya Toshiro (永楽屋東四郎) of Nagoya whose publishing house was renamed to Eito Shoten in 1914.

Prompt: Focus on Hokusai Manga and explain the Sources of the Manga.

The traditional view holds that, after the outburst of production, Hokusai carefully selected and redrew the sketches, arranging them into the patterns we see today. However, Michener (1958:30-34) argues that the pattern of the images on a particular plate were arranged by the wood carvers and publishers, not by the artist himself.

Hokusai Manga

Prompt: Focus on Hokusai Manga and explain the Legacy.

The first volume of 'Manga' (Defined by Hokusai as 'Brush gone wild'), was an art instruction book published to aid his troubled finances.  Shortly after he removed the text and republished it.  The Manga show a dedication to artistic realism in the portrayal of people and the natural world. The work was an immediate success, and the subsequent volumes soon followed. The work became known to the West after Dutch-employed German physicist Philipp Franz von Siebold took lithographs of some of the sketches to Europe where they appeared in his influential book on Japan, Nippon: Archiv Zur Beschreibung von Japon in 1832. The work began to circulate in the West soon after Matthew C. Perry's entry into Japan in 1854.

Miracle of the Slave (Tintoretto)

Prompt: Focus on Miracle of the Slave (Tintoretto) and explain the Description.

Miracle of the Slave was commissioned by the charitable civic organization of the Scuola Grande di San Marco to hang opposite the altar within the building. The work hung in the Scuola until seized by the French in 1797. It was then returned to Venice in its current location at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in 1815.The image tells the hagiography of a slave who lived long after the life of St. Mark, using fellow Venetian artist Jacopo Sansovino's bronze relief created for the pulpit in St. Mark's Basilica as inspiration. Prior to the events shown in the picture, the slave wants to visit the tomb of the patron saint of Venice, but his master forbids his visit. The slave makes the pilgrimage against his master's will, and devotes his body to St. Mark upon reaching the tomb. The painting shows the slave's arrival back to his master's residence, when his master punishes him. The master, seated at the throne on the right, calls for the slave's eyes to be gouged out, legs to be broken, and mouth to be shattered. However, the instruments of torture continue breaking next to slave as he calls for St. Mark, who appears at the top of the composition. Stunned, the crowd on the left side of the picture is convinced of a miracle.Miracle of the Slave is a classic example of a work from the Venetian school. The piece is daring in its use of color to organize its composition. In particular, the juxtaposition of depth created by the vibrant pink of the garb of St. Mark contrasted with brilliant white turban below him creates a sense of depth that makes the figure of the saint stand out in the air.

Miracle of the Slave (Tintoretto)

Prompt: Focus on Miracle of the Slave (Tintoretto) and explain the Context.

Miracle of the Slave was the first notable work of Tintoretto's career. Prior to Miracle of the Slave, Tintoretto did not have powerful backers. The artist was continually told his brushwork was too rushed and works were unfinished. In particular, the famous Venetian painter Titian was an open critic of Tintoretto’s work to this point.Miracle of the Slave was, from the beginning, the biggest commission Tintoretto had received. The confraternity that paid for the work, the Scuola di San Marco, was the largest and wealthiest lay organization in Venice, and it played a central role in social life. However, the work was not met with immediate success; some members of the confraternity originally insisted the painting be returned Tintoretto. Various theories exist as to the cause of the dispute over the work, ranging from Tintoretto's personality to favoritism from Tintoretto's father-in-law, who held a leadership position within the Scuola Grande di San Marco. Ultimately, though, Miracle of the Slave was met with praise and led to numerous new commissions from Tintoretto.

The confraternity that paid for the work, the Scuola di San Marco, was the largest and wealthiest lay organization in Venice, and it played a central role in social life. However, the work was not met with immediate success; some members of the confraternity originally insisted the painting be returned Tintoretto. Various theories exist as to the cause of the dispute over the work, ranging from Tintoretto's personality to favoritism from Tintoretto's father-in-law, who held a leadership position within the Scuola Grande di San Marco. Ultimately, though, Miracle of the Slave was met with praise and led to numerous new commissions from Tintoretto.

Miracle of the Slave (Tintoretto)

Prompt: Focus on Miracle of the Slave (Tintoretto) and explain the Interpretation.

Interpretations of the painting have focused on its religious content. Contemporary biographer Carlo Ridolfi wrote that Tintoretto changed the course of religious painting in Venice, as everyone after him painted scenes with the "great strength and energy used that he expressed through his figures." More recently, authors have placed Miracle of the Slave at the beginning of Tintoretto's exploration of miraculous intervention, which he often depicted in other works in Venice.

Passing Mother's Grave

Prompt: Focus on Passing Mother's Grave and explain the abstract.

Passing Mother's Grave (Dutch: Langs Moeders Graf), also known as Passing the Churchyard, is an oil painting on canvas made in 1856 by Jozef Israëls, a Dutch realist artist and a representative of the Hague School of painters. The subject of the painting is a widowed fisherman walking past his deceased wife's grave with his two children.In the early stages of his career, Israëls primarily painted portraits, genre scenes, and historical subjects. Passing Mother's Grave marked one of his initial forays into Realism by depicting peasant life and set the stage for the artist's lasting fascination with the theme of fishermen. This painting quickly became one of his most renowned works; it gained popularity and was widely reproduced in print reproductions including several painted copies executed by the artist himself.The painting's depiction of the working class has been compared with The Stone Breakers, an 1849 painting by the French realist painter Gustave Courbet. The art historian Sheila D. Muller has written that it accomplishes a "monumental treatment of the commonplace". While generally considered among Israëls's most famous and popular paintings, the work has also been criticised as sentimental or "mawkish".Passing Mother's Grave is considered a prominent example of the Dutch realist movement in the second half of the nineteenth century. It influenced later artists in the Netherlands, including the Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, who listed it among his favorite works.

Passing Mother's Grave

Prompt: Focus on Passing Mother's Grave and explain the History.

Israëls's initial artistic training took place in Academie Minerva, an art school in his native Groningen. In 1842, at the age of twenty, he worked in the Amsterdam studio of the portraitist Jan Adam Kruseman. At night he studied under the Dutch painter Jan Willem Pieneman at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. Israëls moved to Paris in 1845 and lived there until 1847, studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under the sculptor James Pradier and the painters Horace Vernet and Paul Delaroche.In 1847, he returned to Amsterdam and enrolled at the Rijksakademie, where he studied under Jan Willem Pieneman. Israëls traveled to Düsseldorf in 1850 before returning to Paris in 1853; there he became acquainted with and drew inspiration from the work of Barbizon School painters. During that time, he made small portraits and genre paintings, while also drawing influence from Romantic poetry and historical subjects.Israëls received an unfavorable response to his historical painting William of Orange in Council with Regent Margaret of Parma. The work portrays a scene from the life of Dutch King William the Silent, a key leader in the 17th-century revolt against Habsburg Spain. At the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris, the artist pivoted his focus towards contemporary Dutch themes. He subsequently concentrated on capturing the essence of fishing communities in Holland. From 1855 to 1856, Israëls spent time in the fishing villages of Zandvoort and Katwijk, where he observed the Dutch fishermen and their families. Passing Mother's Grave was completed in 1856; the art historian Dieuwertje Dekkers has written that the painting "introduced into Dutch art a powerful variant of French Realism".

Prompt: Focus on Passing Mother's Grave and explain the Analysis.

Israëls completed multiple versions of the painting. A well-known example in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is an oil-on-canvas painting with dimensions of 274.5 cm (108.1 in) x 207.5 cm (81.7 in). The three people in the image are all barefoot. The widower is portrayed as a fisherman and he is holding a boy's hand and carrying a baby as he passes the headstone of his deceased wife. The painting was an attempt by Israëls to move from his traditional subject matter of historical paintings toward portrayals of contemporary peasant life.Austrian art historian Fritz Novotny described the painting as "an almost monochrome grey-brown tonality of a fragile delicacy". The sky in the painting is dark and ominous, but there is a sliver of blue sky which is thought to represent hope. The Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie stated that the models which Israëls used for the image were Klaas Helweg and the two children of Hendrik Helweg. The writer Nicolaas Beets is credited with naming the image "Passing Mother's Grave" in 1861. In the 1980 book Mondriaan and the Hague School, the painting is referred to as Passing the Churchyard. The original 1856 painting was purchased by the Amsterdam Academy of Fine Arts.
