Research Papers on The History of Art the Artist Christo Javacheff
Introduction The history of art has been compared with that of literature. In comparable respects, both have continuity, change and no progressive improvement. Since they are both works of creativity, their histories are characterized by works that seem to go beyond circumstantial limitations with a timeless appeal. The history of art has evolved since the extant of humans. Today art involve so many disciplines in colleges and universities. (Kristine and Howard 1996 4, 41) Christo Vladimirov Javacheff and Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon are a couple whose works of have contribution to perpetuation and continuity of the history of art. Their impressive works have been marred controversies because of their scale. Christo and Jeanne-Claude were on the same date same time on June 13, 1935. Born in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, Christo studied art at the Sofia academy from 1953 to 1956. He went to Vienna where he enrolled for Fine Arts at Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Only a semester later, he traveled to Geneva and later to Paris in 1958. Following these journeys, he lost his Bulgarian citizenship ending up being without a nationality. At France, he started painting portraits to earn a leaving, an occupation he has likened to prostitution. In his paintings, his signature was his family name â€Å"Javachef†while his earlier works’ signature was â€Å"Christo.†Born in Casablanca and brought up by her father, a military officer in Morocco, Jeanne-Claude’s was brought up by her father alone having divorced with Jeanne’s mother shortly after she was born. Jeanne graduated in 1952 at University of Tunis having studied Latin and Philosophy. She has been described as an extrovert with natural organizational abilities. She smoked, dyed her hair red, and hated cooking. She acknowledged becoming an artist out of her love for Christo. She died on November 18, 2009 in New York from brain complications. Jeanne-Claude and Christo first met in 1958 and married in 1960 amidst controversial flopped wedding between Jeanne and Philippe Planchon. The couple’s work of art revolved around the environmental; in fact, some writers call their works â€Å"the earth art.†Some of their works included â€Å"Wrapped Coast†, Sydney, (1968-69), â€Å"wrapped Museum of Contemporary Art†, Chicago (1968-69), â€Å"Wrapped Monument to Vittorio Emanuele, Italy,†(1970), â€Å"The Pont Wrapped Reichstag†, Berlin (1971-95), â€Å"Running Fence†, California (1972-76), â€Å"Neuf Wrapped†, Paris (1975-85), â€Å"The Umbrellas†Japan U.S.A. (1975-85) amongst many other vast-scale wrapping projects. Jeanne-Claude’s and Christo’s first collaboration was seen in 1961 when they jointly covered port of Cologne’s barrels. This was their first monumental project, â€Å"Iron Curtain†in which they used oil apparel and curtain as mock expression of to the authorized against Berlin Wall. In this work of art, Jeanne-Claude blocked with a curtain wall for a few hours streets in Cologne. The couple arrived in New York in 1964, and settled in the United States before the end of that year. Startlingly, their works were credited to Christo’s until 1994 when installations and other outdoor works retroactively earned credit to both of them: â€Å"Christo and Jeanne-Claude.†While in United States, with limited command of English, Christo displayed his works in several works including Castelli Gallery of New York. Analysis of his works is an excellent prototype of Marcel Duchamp’s concept of conceptual art (Honour and Fleming 2005: 800). Christo has ‘reduced the creativity act to an attractively simple level, using single, intellectual ideas to rediscover the object of, or activity of art.†Jeanne-Claude once disqualified people’s interpretation of their works of arts saying that they absolutely had no purpose beyond being for ‘beauty’ and ‘art’, that their works were not indeed to give any message. While Jeanne-Claude’s view contradicts conceptual art’s definition according Duchamp’s view, both of their works are an excellent manifestation of conceptual art. Arguably, first collaborated work metaphorical of the Berlin wall was an expression of ‘message’ to the authorit ies. The couple excelled in their works of arts. Having exhibited in the galleries across the United States, France, Italy, Germany and other major cities, the resist have had profound effect in the discipline of art. Their art of ‘wrapping’ the natural and human structures have redefined way of exhibiting creative works. There work â€Å"Wrapped Walk Ways†(1977-78) at, Jacob Loose Park, in Kansas City, was complete and figurative expressing the nature of conceptual art. Still in line with the couple’s view of their workshop art as of aesthetic, the work present conceptual art in another perspective. It took them along time to come up with and complete the project. It complied with the rule of conceptual; art set by Duchamp, which depicted human desires and continuity in the piece of work. In the â€Å"Wrapped Ways†project, Jeanne-Claude and Christo installed 12, 450 square meters of saffron-colored nylon fabric on garden walkways and paths covering 4.4 Kilometers of Jacob Loose Memorial Park in Kansas. The installation was done in three days between October 2nd and 4th with 84 people employed to help in the installation. Since the artists never accepted any sponsorship of any kind, all the costs and expenses committed in the project were borne by the couple. They earned by selling preparatory works such as drawings, collages, lithographs and etcetera. (Kristine and Howard 1996: 549) The wrapped walkways and paths remained wrapped until October 16th 1978 when saffron material was removed and recycled by the Kansas City Parks department. This piece of work of art was unique and indeed changed the art scenes and the entire history of art. By using their own to exhibit there works of art, his type of art was one of its own kinds. This project took the art scene, such succinct works of art with such scale-reengineered creativity. The artists, in this project and others precisely conceptualize ideas and with little effort and manipulation the friends of works of arts have been taken aback. Purely designed for beauty and aesthetic, the works portrayed human desires and suggested through unclear, indirect, and intellectual works of art using fantasy. People often want to live in beautiful environments free of dart. This installation not only showed the important aspects of human and the desire of the American people but also portray how new ideas and creativity can be c ombined to bring new styles of art and varying definition of challenging experiences of art in general. Their work â€Å"The Running Fence†was acquired in definitive record in 2008 by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Installed in Sonoma and Marin Counties, California in 1972-76, the work was one of the many temporary installations of that that took those 42 months of collaborative efforts to install. It was 24 ½ miles long and 18 feet high, with one end dropping down to the Pacific Ocean. This monumentally vast work of art was contracted out of 240000 square feet of heavy white woven fabric of nylon, steel cables measuring over 150 kilometers long, 2050 steel posts, 350, 000 hooks and 130, 000 earth anchors. The project was entirely sponsored by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The erected fence stood for only two weeks in the September of 1976. The work has been filmed into â€Å"Running Fence revisited†The Running Fence Revisited are screened in some of the major exhibition galleries. Janet Maslin, a New York Times art writer, once described the Running Fence in the film as â€Å"the next best thing to have been in existence.†The Running Fence story is not a tale just unlimited endurance but a story of two artists whose works were nearly over insurmountable. The Running Fence was a temporary creativity of art, odds enough but delivered joy and beauty to the lovers of art; it was a story of and about the people, places, and events. The installation made many more aware of the incredible art and other possibilities of creativity works. This conceptual art stunned the world of art. The â€Å"Running Fence†stunned the people of Sonoma County and the rest of the world. â€Å"There will never be another Running Fence,†Christo said in an Eye Level interview. Indeed, there will never be another â€Å"Running Fence†and if it were, then will no longer be creative enough to attract and influence other artists. As a way of appreciating their works, the couple regularly got requests from cities or organizations to replicate their works in other places. Commenting on the requests, Christo said, â€Å"that misses the point. The power in the art is in its transitory.†(Pagliasotti 2002) Richard B. Woodward, an art writer asserts that the Running Fence has been called one of the â€Å"most influential art projects of the 20th century.†He records Christo’s comments about the project while revisiting the site twenty years after the event â€Å"it was certainly one of the most successful. It is amazing to hear many people say viewing Running Fence changed the way they looked at the landscape and art forever.†Christo’s and Jeanne-Claude’s, art, their creation, was able to affect them in a way the traditional artists could not. (2010). At the removal of the installation, the materials were donated to the local and the authorities. Nearly half people present at the event seemed to have found a way to reuse the materials from the project. Being farmers, they used them in their ranging operations. Some made windbreaks with the fabric and the project ended officially in September 1976, exactly a fortnight after its installation. While this brought physical end to the piece of art, the Running Fence has remained alive. The actual Running Fence is gone, the materials have been converted for other uses, but the memories live on to date. For instance, at American Art Museum, Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Remembering the Running Fence has been devoted to one of the couples most ambitious and evocative works of art. Whether Running Fence would be impossible to accomplish in todays America is hard to gauge. The nearly bare contours of beautiful hills were made more sensual by the project. The visual variation of the piece as it responds to sun, wind, fog, and ocean are attractive. The determination of the couple of artists and their resolute faith and love for the works of and their unusual ideas seem to have earned confidence, respect, trust, and affection from people who had never heard of site-specific art. Christo involved the community in his works. While persuading over 57 farmers to allow the fencing cross their lands Christo told them: The art project is right now here with us. We are partners in this work of art.†(Donovan 2002: 97, 115) â€Å"Were surrounded with repetitious things. Worlds Fair, Olympic Games, each four years happen, Walt Disney all that is all the routine we live. In addition, this project happened once†¦ There was once the Running Fence or Wrapped Coast.†Christo in an Australian TV interview once said in 2004. To date, the lasting impact of Running Fence on the new ‘art society’ born after the project has continued to ignite serious conversations about what is art among citizens who had never thought it was relevant a question. It is commendable that the Smithsonian American Art Museum bought the project archive for Running Fence in 2008. It will available for generations and Christo and Jeanne-Claude will continue to communicate to all of them. References Kristine, Stiles Peter, Howard Selz.

Military Leadership - 1493 Words
Military leadership theory brings forth the discovery of many ideas regarding the application of knowledge from a military background in a business environment. Much information was premised on business owners, managers and employees working collectively, how to improve communication skills, and how to define a goal and motivate others to follow it based on military leadership. The connection between these two worlds of business and military is apparent. Many of today’s companies derive their structure and leadership model from that which is applied in the army. The military typically has a main leader or a decision \ maker, who transmits orders to subordinates at lower levels. This model is almost identical to what is seen in many†¦show more content†¦There are plenty of people who possess the personality traits associated with leadership, yet many of these people never seek out positions of leadership (Wheeler, 2000). Behavioral Theory This theory is based on the idea that a person is not born a leader, but that a person becomes a leader through self-development and learning. It focuses not on mental qualities or internal states, but on the actions and behaviors of leaders. According to this theory, people can learn to become leaders through teaching and observation (Wheeler, 2000). One can conclude that it is the converse of the Great Man theory. Contingency Theory According to this theory, there is not a leadership style that would be best in all situations. Contingency theory of leadership focuses on particular variables related to the environment that might determine which particular style of leadership is best suited for the situation. If the leader is highly effective in one situation, he or she may not necessarily be effective in another. Success depends upon a number of variables, including qualities of the followers, the leadership style or aspects of the situation (Wheeler, 2000). Situational Theory This theory states that situational factors, rather than skills of leader, determine the effectiveness of leadership. Situational theories propose that leaders choose the best course of action based upon situational variables.

Jessica Hilo is one of Jack Snyder’s bosses so; it is only fair that Jack is responsible for Jessica Hilo’s work load, and not Ruth Disselkoen. I have noticed that this entire problem began three months ago when Jessica Hilo’s took a Leave of absence and some of her work load was reassigned to Ruth Disselkoen. I believe that Jessica Hilo’s, work is causing Ruth to cut her breaks short and work overtime twice a month. Therefore, I will discuss this with the Human Resources Director, Liz, Jakowski, and I will present the idea of giving Jessica Hilo’s, entire work load to Jack Snyder, and this course of action will eliminate the monetary expenditure of $200. 00 that the company is paying monthly for overtime. I will wait for Liz Jakowski, response to determine my next course of action. How to cite Cause and Effect Paper for School, Papers
Family Values Speech Essay Example For Students
Family Values Speech Essay Family Time Speech Its 10 oclock.do you know where your children are? We usually laugh at this question because most parents do know where their children are but do they know what they are doing or who they are with? If there was a problem in their childs life would they recognize it in time to intervene? Unfortunately most parents do not spend enough time with their children to notice things like this. Gary Stroope, a pastor from Coral Gables, Fl says, Ive never seen a generation so parentless. Pope John Paul II is also concerned about the direction that family life is taking. He spoke about it on his recent visit to St. Louis saying: As the family goes so goes the nation The family is the cornerstone of society. We need to build up family life. In order to increase parent awareness of childs behavior, promote family values, and develop simple social skills, families need to gather together on a routine basis and one of the best ways to do this is to reinstitute family dinners. I chose this topic because I see the effects that lack of family time has had on my family and myself. In addition, I see so many problems that teens have and how it could be solved by more family time. I wonder how many of these seriously troubled teens that we hear about in the news could have been reached if their family had been more aware. For example, one of my close friends has been battling clinical depression for the past thee years and her family didnt know until she attempted suicide this past summer. Even I noticed changes in her behavior such as drastic mood swings and her dreary outlook on life. I even noticed that her eating and sleeping habits changed. Changes like this could be noticed sooner by more family togetherness. This even applies to less serious issues as well. For example, It took my grandfather, who is my guardian, more than a month to realize that I had not been eating dinner. When he finally did realize he asked me if i was trying to be anorexic or something. I had to bite my tongue to keep myself from laughing. If I had been anorexic it would have been time to drive me to the hospital before he noticed. Even small things like this could be noticed if there was a set time when families like mine gathered together to have a meal. Another important function of family time is the passing on of family values. When I was a child, my mother would eat dinner with me n front of the t v. now i know that this is not the ideal picture of family dinner but at least she was thee. We would talk about how my day went or what we were watching and even at a young age I was having discussions with my mom about current events. She gave me the values system that i have today. But I also have an eight year old brother and he has not had the support and guidance of my mother and i worry about him a lot. My grandfather just sits him down in front of the tv and lets him fend for himself. There is a noticeable difference between us. People speak of the nations deteriorating morals and say that tv is causing it and i think part of this statement is true, But parents are also to blame for not teaching the children morals and letting the tv do all of the work. My brother has a harsher attitude towards life i general. When someone gets shot in a movie or on tv, it doesnt even phase him and i really think that comes from not having a strong parental figure there to explain to him what is right and wrong. .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 , .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .postImageUrl , .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 , .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6:hover , .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6:visited , .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6:active { border:0!important; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6:active , .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6 .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ud558097bf9b14cd1e35d8837ebc1dea6:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Safe Sex (1713 words) Essay At the very least family time can teach basic social skills.
