Abstract

"Bij weinigen bekend, maar niet minder invloedrijk: Jo van Gogh-Bonger (1862-1925), de vrouw van Theo en schoonzus van Vincent van Gogh. Toen de broers kort na elkaar overleden, ontfermde zij zich vanaf 1891 over Van Goghs artistieke nalatenschap en wijdde de rest van haar leven aan de verspreiding en bekendmaking ervan. Ze publiceerde zijn brieven, organiseerde tentoonstellingen in binnen- en buitenland en verkocht strategisch aan particulieren en invloedrijke kunsthandelaren. Voor de reputatie van Van Goghs kunst waren haar inspanningen cruciaal. Maar ook in andere opzichten leidde ze een boeiend leven. Niet alleen was ze bevriend met vooraanstaande schrijvers en kunstenaars, ze was ook actief binnen de Sociaal-Democratische Arbeiderspartij en nauw betrokken bij de ontluikende vrouwenbeweging. Ze had één zoon, die vernoemd was naar zijn oom: hij was de tweede belangrijke Vincent in haar leven. Op basis van rijk bronnenmateriaal, waaronder niet eerder gepubliceerde dagboeken, documenten en brieven, schetst Hans Luijten het veelzijdige leven van deze geëngageerde vrouw die zich in de decennia rond 1900 daadkrachtig manifesteerde in een door mannen gedomineerde wereld. 'Alles voor Vincent' is een liefdevol geschreven biografie, die ook nieuw licht werpt op de waarderingsgeschiedenis van Van Gogh".

Abstract

In looking at the history of collecting, one may be excused for regarding it as an activity in which, traditionally, women have shown little interest or in which they have not been involved. As the present volume shows, women-particularly aristocratic women-not only resisted this discrimination through the ages, but also built important collections and used them to their own advantage, in order to make statements about their lineage, power, cultural heritage or religious preferences. That is...

Abstract

This book examines the sociocultural networks between the courts of early modern Italy and Europe, focusing on the Florentine Medici court, and the cultural patronage and international gendered networks developed by the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, Vittoria della Rovere.Adelina Modesti uses Grand Duchess Vittoria as an exemplar of pan-European 'matronage' and proposes a new matrilineal model of patronage in the early modern period, one in which women become not only the mediators but also the architects of public taste and the transmitters of cultural capital. The book will be the first comprehensive monographic study of this important cultural figure.This study will be of interest to scholars working in art history, gender studies, Renaissance studies and seventeenth-century Italy.

Abstract

D'origine lyonnaise, Juliette Récamier (1777-1849) reçut dans son salon toutes les personnalités importantes de son temps, la première moitié du XIXe siècle. L'exposition propose d'explorer ce personnage à travers son rapport aux arts. Juliette Récamier fut en effet tour à tour : modèle , commanditaire , collectionneuse et initiatrice d'un nouveau goût. Les différentes sections de l'exposition permettront de : - rassembler une importante sélection de ses portraits tout au long de sa vie ; - découvrir les cercles artistiques et littéraires gravitant autour de Juliette Récamier ; - Confronter les œuvres et objets provenant de ses collections ; - Comprendre son usage des arts pour servir son image ; - Poser la question de l'influence de Juliette Récamier sur les arts de son temps et de sa postérité auprès des artistes. http://www.mba-lyon.fr/mba/sections/fr/expositions-musee/mba/sections/fr/expositions-musee/juliette-recamier-m/juliette-recamier-et/ (11/06/2010)

Abstract

Y a-t-il une manière féminine de collectionner? Une collection d'art peut-elle avoir un genre? Cet ouvrage présente la première synthèse historique consacrée aux femmes collectionneuses d'art et mécènes en Occident depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à nos jours. Alternant avec ces mises au point, de multiples portraits singuliers retracent l'itinéraire biographique et esthétique des collectionneuses les plus remarquables : Nélie Jacquemart, Hélène Kröller-Müller, Helena Rubinstein, Marie-laure de Noailles, Peggy Guggenheim ou encore, plus près de nous, Ingvild Goetz ou Dominique de Ménil, en sont quelques exemples. 0Cette galerie de portraits montre l'extrême diversité des personnalités et des motivations.0.

Abstract

"This book examines the place of women in art and literature from the 19th century to the present day, whether as artists, critics or collectors. It centers on the concept of the network, as a possible point of entry for women into cultural circles long seen as male territories. Within the framework of feminist history and gender studies, the book looks at the careers of salonnières, gallery owners, editors and all types of artists, in Europe and in the USA. They may be famous (Carolee Schneemann) or less so (Yvonne Serruys), they may or may not have been openly feminist, but they have all used networking as a strategy to defend their artistic choices or their vision of the world, as well as to help and support one another"--Back cover.

Abstract

These volumes propose a renewed way of framing the debate around the history of medieval art and architecture to highlight the multiple roles played by women. Today’s standard division of artist from patron is not seen in medieval inscriptions—on paintings, metalwork, embroideries, or buildings—where the most common verb is 'made' ( fecit ). At times this denotes the individual whose hands produced the work, but it can equally refer to the person whose donation made the undertaking possible. Here twenty-four scholars examine secular and religious art from across medieval Europe to demonstrate that a range of studies is of interest not just for a particular time and place but because, from this range, overall conclusions can be drawn for the question of medieval art history as a whole. Contributors are Mickey Abel, Glaire D. Anderson, Jane L. Carroll, Nicola Coldstream, María Elena Díez Jorge, Jaroslav Folda, Alexandra Gajewski, Loveday Lewes Gee, Melissa R. Katz, Katrin Kogman-Appel, Pierre Alain Mariaux, Therese Martin, Eileen McKiernan González, Rachel Moss, Jenifer Ní Ghrádaigh, Felipe Pereda, Annie Renoux, Ana Maria S. A. Rodrigues, Jane Tibbetts Schulenburg, Stefanie Seeberg, Miriam Shadis, Ellen Shortell, Loretta Vandi, and Nancy L. Wicker.
