“Katya” is the title of an exhibition thought and realized in postmodern, with the aspect of recreation of well known styles and themes in art in nowadays context. Planned as a study experiment, but transformed into an author’s project. Throughout the exhibition some will find the signature of works of Picasso, others will recognize Katya – professional model for candidate-artists in the Faculty of Fine Art. The social and educationally effective status of Katya is a challenge to the potential academic system to generate ideas in the routine of the process, which must legitimate knowledge and cultivate affinity towards art. Her image is a direct and spontaneous association with the art conception of the “Blue period” of Picasso, in which the artist shows his empathy to people, made to live in poverty, humiliation and suffering. Hypothetically put, Katya is a prototype of Picasso’s works, but this author’s recourse does not provoke representation, which aims to imitate, but is in deep, fundamental connection, close to identity with the typological profile of the “Blue period.”

The Relationship

This paper is a critique of the contribution of William Ivins's Prints and Visual Communication (1953) to an understanding of the meaning of fine art reproductions. Ivins showed that photographic reproduction was constructed in relation to, and displaced, older ways of reproducing art which were carried out by handicraft engravers. His analysis alerts us to the fact that ambiguity characterized art reproduction before photographs. Art reproductions, then, were interpretations in line based on conventional modes of representation – what Ivins calls a visual syntax. In this respect he enhances our understanding of the social construction of the artist. For Ivins the social history of reproduction seems to end with the camera. This completed an individuation of creativity ushered in with the Renaissance, but which was always qualified by the interfering visual syntax of craftsmen-interpreters. It is argued that the value of Ivins's account resides in its reconstruction of the relationship between handicraft engraving, fine art reproduction and aesthetic objects that have long since slipped from our consciousness.

The reasons why photographic illustration was generally avoided by American print advertisers before 1913, even though halftone technology had made such illustration economically advantageous, have not been adequately explored. This article explains that art directors initially avoided the medium because of its slavish dependence on material reality. Photography offered too much detail; it seemed incapable of the abstraction or idealization necessary for “capitalist realism.” The change in this outlook can be dated from the work of Lejaren à Hiller, who, borrowing fine art aesthetics and techniques from pictorialist photography, established the medium as suitable for the complex visual and narrative strategies required by the social tableaux advertising of the period.

This conversation with Griselda Pollock, Professor of the Social and Critical Histories of Art in the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds, UK, focuses on her most recent book, Charlotte Salomon and the Theatre of Memory (New Haven and London : Yale University Press, 2018). The latter provides new readings of Leben ? oder Theater ? (Life ? or Theater ?), the artistic project of the German Jewish artist Charlotte Salomon (1917–1943), who painted as CS — the cipher the artist purposely used to disguise both her gender and her ethnicity — thus challenging previous interpretations that treat this remarkable intermedial work as straightforwardly autobiographical.

The purpose of this study is to examine educational achievements and their implications, focusing on the social practice case of the Social Innovation Living-lab Project implemented by K University in 2020. The progress of the project, its performance, and educational implications were analyzed based on the results of project-related reports, media reports, resident surveys, and student interviews.The project was effective in terms of revitalizing local urban regeneration, and resident’s satisfaction was generally positive. In educational effects, students also became passionate and interested in the effects of cooperation between themselves and their chosen majors. Moreover, they demonstrated positive effects from the reflecting they did regarding their own prospects as they considered their social contributions.This project is meaningful in that cooperative partnerships between universities and society can be formed through university education. Futhermore, this study proposed to improve the academic system and to establish a support system to promote it.

Raymond Williams

Carl Andre’s opposition between an activating art and a pacifying culture becomes the impetus for wider reflections on artistic autonomy and agency with special reference to how fine art is taught at college. I propose that artistic agency might better be accounted for and enacted by conceiving of it not as something set against or at a distance from culture in general, but ‘as’ culture. Through an overview of various institutional and discursive accounts of artistic production which describe the ways in which art is itself influenced and determined by external factors, and an extended analysis of Raymond Williams theory of culture as ‘collective advance’, I propose that fine art education needs to confront the question of contemporary art’s wider cultural embeddedness, and the political culture of art itself—a politics based in the nature of the social relationships art practice engenders.

Talents in music or fine art are not unrelated to other abilities. The development of individual perception is influenced by the same continuing physical and mental experiences. In normal circumstances, the most important of these is probably the social environment, which includes parental attitudes and the provision of appropriate equipment. But from the age at which a child starts school, new experiences and expectancies should begin to operate. Unfortunately, for too many children the key word is still ‘should’.

When examining the interrelations between art and cinema, theater must be taken into account: the modeof theatricality, long banished in fine art, made the rounds especially in those art films that dealt with theintersections of the social and medial staging of roles. In this context, one can find a special affinity to the toposof the rehearsal, since it appears suitable to reveal and press ahead with the dedifferentiation of “real” and“fictive” roles and actions. The rehearsal appears as an improvised and staged form of “making of” as well as abiopolitically charged model situation in which the practicing of socio-medial role identities under the prevailingpower and hierarchy relations is to be made visible.

ArgumentThis paper examines the postwar reconstruction of the Polish academic system. It analyzes a debate that took place in the newly established university in the proletarian city of Łódź. The vision of the shape of the university was a bone of contention between the professors. This resulted in two contentious models of a university: “liberal” and “socialized.” Soon, universities were transformed into crucial institutions of the emerging communist state, where national history, ideology, and the future elite were produced and shaped. The social university was transformed into a socialistic university. Analysis of this process of transformation enables me to scrutinize the difficult clashes between the leftist intellectuals and the rising system of power that was not entirely hostile to them. The case of Poland also shows that sovietization did not mean solely a ruthless convergence of Central and Eastern Europe with a universal model most completely implemented in the USSR. Power hitting the ground was redeployed along various local interests, institutional conjunctures, and personal intransigencies. On a more universal level, I present this case in the context of the challenge of modernization and its many respective accommodations.

Close Relationship

the paper studies the problem of defining an intercultural interaction. The authors analyzed scientific works to identify and classify the Indonesian social realism art painting. In the second half of the XXth century, Indonesian artists had a close relationship with the Soviet Society in the sphere of fine art. The true influence can be found in the social-realism art movement between 1950–1965s in Indonesia during the first President Soekarno era. But the social-realism art movement was no longer because of the horizontal political conflict on September 30, 1965 as well-known as revolution. During the President Soeharto regime (1965–1999), all social realism fine art was destroyed. Socialist and communist ideology was banned in Indonesia. That’s why they represented socialism and communism style not growing freely until now. However, some paintings can be saved abroad by Russian scientists and art collectors. Since 2016, more than 30 Indonesian social-realism paintings were conserved, served, and shown into a historical exhibition in the State Museum of Moscow Oriental Art. These paintings became important in Indonesian social realism art history

And Training

The nature of forestry is changing rapidly, with the social component becoming as or even more important than the traditional biophysical components. The role of participatory approaches to forestry has increased dramatically, and meeting the needs of people is now seen as a primary function of forestry. Increasingly, those needs are being defined through bottom-up approaches, rather than by governments or corporations. Foresters and forest scientists are poorly equipped to deal with this change, which is necessitating a much broader knowledge than has previously been required. At the undergraduate level, forestry programs are failing to teach the skills necessary for successful participation in this new form of forestry. At the graduate and post-graduate levels, young scientists are particularly disadvantaged, as the conservative nature of the academic system can actually work against attempts to be more interdisciplinary and more relevant. Scientists who are genuinely interdisciplinary may have difficulties finding employment, and current academic reward systems do not cope well with individual contributions to team efforts. The problem extends to the forestry profession, with many professional foresters being ill-equipped for their new roles, while at the same time they and/or their employers remain reluctant to enter into any form of re-training. Key words: university education, graduate training, interdisciplinarity, multidisciplinarity, pedagogy, forestry training, forestry paradigms
