Professor Barry Flood, Department of Art History and the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, presents a lecture: “Figures as Flowers: Nature, Animation and the Status of the Image in Islamic Art”
It is often assumed that the proscriptions on figuration in Islamic tradition constituted a blanket rejection that frustrated artistic creativity. It has even been suggested that theological constraints on figuration inspired a compensatory emphasis on calligraphy or geometry in Islamic art. Professor Flood offers to complicate our understanding of the relationship between theological proscription and artistic practice. His talk will focus on a small corpus of altered images in which animate beings are transformed into trees or flowers. The earliest examples are found among the Christian mosaics of the Levant. He suggests that the specific mode of transformation to which this corpus bears witness reflects a literal understanding of a Prophetic tradition (hadith) that recommends the decapitation of anthropomorphic images and compares the resulting acephalic figures to plants or trees. If his reading is correct, then these altered images provide insights into the way in which pre-modern artists negotiated theological proscriptions on figuration. In particular, it suggests that the proscriptions espouse a transformative theory of artistic production and were understood as doing so by some pre-modern artists.

"Antoine Watteau Between Art and Nature"
Sponsored by the Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies
Free and open to the public.
Les Charmes de la vie (1717-19) is a well-known example of Antoine
Watteau's signature theme, the fête galante -- an outdoor scene of
aristocrats at play. Routinely described as a painting in which stalled
music-making metaphorically evokes love's bumpy path, Les Charmes de la
vie also may be seen as a meditation on exclusivity, marginality,
artifice, and the Nature/Culture continuum so artfully negotiated by
Parisian aesthetes. Its liveried black youth - a portrait as well as a
type - not only bespeaks longtime European fascination with "nature"
claimed and tamed, but reflects contemporary changes in French slave
policy.
A scholar of European and U.S. art of the eighteenth, nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, Judy Sund is especially interested in Euro-American
engagements with exoticism. She is a professor of art history at Queens
College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York. [Art

Professor Michael Ann Holly, Director of Research and Academic Program at the Sterling
and Francine Clark Art Institute
Friday, March 3, 2006, 5:00 pm 204B East Duke Building
Dr. Holly's work explores the intersections of the intellectual history, art and critical theory. Holly is the author or co-editor of several books on the historiography and theory of art history including "Panofsky and the Foundations of Art History" (1984), "Visual Culture: Images and Interpretations" (1994), "Past Looking: Historical Imagination and the Rhetoric of Images" (1996), "The Subjects of Art History: Historical Objects in Contemporary Perspective" (1998), and "Art History, Aesthetics, Visual Studies" (2002), and recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim, Getty, ACLS, a Rockefeller Foundation grant, and NEH.
Her talk, "The Melancholy Art", is a meditation on the unconscious of art history. Addressing the "deep" sources of our institutional and professional commitments to objects from the past, the essay has resonance with psychoanalytic studies of mourning. Works from the past appear materially before us, but the worlds from which they came have long gone. These visual orphans provoke endless looking, studying, writing because we will not let the meaning of the
representational past disappear. The kind of care with which we respond as art historians may reside comfortably in our essays, books, even exhibitions, but whence comes the desire to write about these works in the first place? This historiographic talk argues that the history of art creatively suffers from a case of disciplinary melancholy.
