A Fledgling Idea

-
It was today, on a very long and boring train journey, that I decided it would be a good idea to start a blog. Having spent a solid 2 hours trying to get my head around the joy that is Laura Mulvey's "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema", I felt rather proud of myself when it seemed to finally start clicking together. Having an excuse (ie. a blog) to record my ideas felt like a brilliant way to make sure I actually keep reading and keep stuff fresh on the brain!

Art History is a discipline that is, in many respects, completely new to me. I hope to start studying it at university next September, so I thought a blog like this would be an excellent incentive to keep thinking critically - for myself as much as anyone! I am learning all the time and I hope the posts will be reflective of the progress I make and my thoughts along the way. I hope, therefore, that writing will be palatable and accessible to other beginners.

I hope this will be a lot of fun to write, and maybe read. (If you got this far...)

Jacques-Louis David and The French Revolution: An Artist's Convictions Gone Too Far?

-

Thinking about Jacques-Louis David's artwork, specifically over the course of the French Revolution, kept putting the phrase "conviction" into my mind. By conviction, I mean the strongly held beliefs and opinions of a person - or artist.  Although perhaps an unusual way to approach an artist, "conviction" feels like a natural and important way of assessing the prevalent ideas I perceive in David's artwork, given its (literally) revolutionary context. I am yet to meet an artist so personally and thoroughly committed to the ideology expressed in their work, and hope this will provide some insight to just how devoted he was to republican and revolutionary ideas both in art and life.  Firstly, I will give a brief bit of context into the French Revolution. Secondly, I will look at two of David's most famous paintings from the Revolution.  The French Revolution (1789-1799): A Whistle-Stop Tour The Revolution is considered to have begun on the 14th July 1789 (B

"Art" by Simon Schama

Thoughts on "Art" by Simon Schama Art: Vintage Minis by Simon Schama (Vintage Classics, 2019) Art by Simon Schama is just one of many in the Vintage Minis Paperback Series, which covers themes such as Love, Work, and Eating.  I haven't actually read any other books in the series, and so cannot speak to whether the problem with titling this one " Art" is consistent across the series. However, for this book, " Art" felt like an inappropriate title applied haphazardly for the sake of tidiness and continuity - particularly because the book revolved almost wholly around Caravaggio. The blurb attempted to explain how the book was a look at art through "the prism of [...] Caravaggio", but honestly, as there were no sustained references to other artists in the book, the publisher should have just fessed up. I highly doubt that Schama was solely responsible for the titling or blurb of this book - I later discovered it was a chapter taken from another

Coming to terms with Mulvey’s “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema"

-

"Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" by Laura Mulvey is, undoubtedly, a bit of a head screw. It's taken me three sittings to get through the whole thing (even though it's just 12 pages) and it was, certainly, the satisfaction of starting to understand it that has compelled me to even try maintain an Art History blog in the first place. A big portion of this difficult-ness can be attributed to Mulvey’s constant referral to psychoanalytic theory, which her analysis is hinged on. As someone not massively familiar with many ideas in psychology and philosophy, this has been really difficult (and enjoyable!) to try and get my head around. Coming to terms with such complex ideas is rewarding! It’s also a bit like 1970s, and I don’t wholly see where she’s coming from with some of the psychoanalysis. But this me trying to make sense of it rather than agree. I think her insights into the technicalities of filmmaking and the results of this are very exciting though and be
