Mission (im)possible – le traducteur en tant qu’ambassadeur de l’art

This article introduces the translator involved in the translation of art titles and art albums as an ambassador for art. Given the role of painting titles in the process of interpreting a work of art, but also in identifying it from other art products, the translator, as the artist’s spokesperson, has to perform a number of actions to enable the correct interpretation and identification of the work in the target culture. This is a very arduous and responsible task, which is particularly difficult in times of new media and the unlimited possibilities of digital reproduction and distribution of cultural goods. Based on the examples of translations of the titles of paintings by selected French painters published in Polish-language albums, the author shows the translator’s responsibility for the promotion and, above all, for the protection of the identity and integrity of works of art, especially those that belong to the public domain and are therefore deprived of proper protection.

Experimental Art and the Body: Parangolé and the Collective Body

The article deals with the changes in Brazilian art from the 1950s to the 1970s, from concrete art to experimentalism, taking into particular account the importance of the artistic production of Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica. It can be said that both artists contributed to a radical questioning of the concept of the work of art and its traditional supports, and also provided a new relationship between the work of art and the viewer in contemporary art. In fact, Brazilian experimentalism anticipated at least a decade ahead of similar questioning of contemporary art posed by European artists and institutions.

The image of Kyiv in a landscape painting by a Ukrainian artist Serhiy Shyshka of the second half of the 20th century

The purpose of the article is to study the representation of the image of the city of Kyiv in the landscape painting of the outstanding Ukrainian artist S. Shyshko, through the prism of the author's artistic vision and stylistic development. Research methodology. Methods such as analytical and comparative art studies were used in the work, which made it possible to holistically consider the given problem and obtain scientifically based research results. Scientific novelty. The article first analyzes the artist's stylistic features, in particular the combination of realistic traditions with elements of impressionism, which are clearly visible in his works. The main topics, motives and techniques that characterize his creative path and the importance of the artist in the context of the development of Ukrainian art are considered. Conclusions. The article examines the work of the outstanding Ukrainian artist S. Shyshko, one of the leading masters of Ukrainian landscape painting of the 20th century, whose work left a significant mark on the artistic life of Ukraine of that period. The main attention is paid to his contribution to the development of landscape painting, in particular to the depiction of landscapes with views of the city of Kyiv. The importance of S. Shyshko as an artist who made a significant contribution to the development of Ukrainian art, in particular realistic landscape painting, and his influence on subsequent generations of Ukrainian artists is emphasized. The work of S. Shyshko is an important component of Ukrainian art of the 20th century, which clearly reflects the cultural and historical significance of Kyiv. His works, focused on the urban landscape, enrich our perception of Kyiv as a symbol of national identity, as a space that combines history, culture and natural beauty. Through masterful command of light, color and composition, Serhii Shishko was able to convey the multifaceted nature of Kyiv, showing it not only as an architectural or natural object, but as a place where the spiritual and the material are closely intertwined. The artistic image of Kyiv on the canvases of S. Shyshka serves as a kind of bridge between the past and the present, because the artist not only captured the appearance of the city at specific moments, but also conveyed its spirit, its eternal essence, which remains relevant decades later.

The Spectre of Re-Fencing Off the Public Domain: Italian Copyright and Cultural Heritage Legal Scenarios

Abstract International and European Union (EU) law jointly promote cultural development as a global and cross-border value, mandating national efforts for the preservation, enjoyment, and enhancement of cultural heritage. Cultural development is also the specific objective underlying Art. 14 of the EU Copyright in Digital Single Market Directive (CDSMD), designed to ensure that works of visual arts in the public domain remain a vital source of cultural enrichment across the Union. Against this backdrop, the Italian legal system is currently showing some resistance against such legal obligations. Its transposition of Art. 14 CDSMD explicitly refers to the applicability of the Italian Cultural Heritage Code, which typically requires permission and, in many cases, a fee payment to use reproductions of works of cultural significance, notwithstanding their public domain status. Concurrently, Italian courts have engineered new forms of exclusivity over cultural heritage belonging to the public domain, ignoring copyright law and other applicable norms. The study examines the Italian legal framework on public domain cultural heritage, unveiling a significant degree of incompatibility with international and EU legal obligations. Through a literal, systematic, and teleological legal analysis, the authors unearth how the Italian legal system fails to balance norms regarding cultural heritage, copyright, and data, thus calling for coordinated EU and national interventions towards a sound application of legal rules safeguarding the public domain.

Dance Culture in Screen and Stage Discourse

The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis and determine the specifics of the director's means of adapting choreographic art in the screen plane. Research methodology. In the development of the topic, an interdisciplinary approach was used, based on the application of such general scientific methods as: a system of theoretical methods – induction, deduction, complex art analysis, synthesis. This enabled the author to study the factual material of choreographic numbers on stage and screen. The method of generalisation and systematisation was used in order to argue the originality of screen direction in the presentation of choreographic art. The use of analytical and systematic methods was effective and useful for researching the art history aspect of the given problem. The scientific novelty of the article is the delineation by the researcher of the vectors of mutual influence and mutual enrichment of choreographic and audiovisual arts in the modernisation of visual and expressive means of directorial skill in the screen and stage plane; in revealing the peculiarities of the director's activity in the presentation of choreographic works in screen productions, which became the subject of a special study for the first time; in the identification of creative dominants in the production of screen works in which choreographic experience is adapted. Conclusions. It is substantiated that screen direction not only popularises, but also with the help of audiovisual means opens up new opportunities for showing works of choreographic art (in particular, folk dance), the work of choreographers, choreographers, choreographic groups, and individual performers.

Synthesis of Arts by means of Sculpture Forms

The purpose of the work is to characterise the syncretism of sculptural forms in the development of monumental Ukrainian sculpture; emphasise the national features of the development of national sculpture on the example of the works of modern Ukrainian sculptors. The methodology of the work consists in the principles of holistic and systemic approaches to the study of the synthesis of arts in the sculptural forms of Ukrainian artists. An analytical method was applied to study scientific approaches to the synthesis of arts, as well as an artistic-stylistic method, as well as a system-functional method to the structuring of artistic works as a phenomenon of modern monumental sculpture. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the discourse on the synthesis of arts in the art history environment, characterising some works of art that belong to the category of monumental sculpture. Conclusions. It should be noted that in the Ukrainian art space there is a synthesis between classical forms and intermedia installations, which creates a complex and multi-layered context for modern artists. The perception of time, space and material becomes plastic and changeable, and this, in turn, stimulates the development of new aesthetic forms. Sculptural images have a significant influence on the formation of styles of young artists, where the emphasis is not only on silhouettes, but also on specific elements originating from various forms. Artists build associative visual sequences, embodying unrealistic, yet deeply symbolic images that resonate with viewers on an emotional level. In the examples from the workshops you mentioned, we see how a variety of materials and art forms and execution methods are used to create coherent and complete images that reflect the synthesis of different arts. The theme of the synthesis of arts in different sculptural forms, which sometimes seem completely incompatible, is indeed one of the most relevant for research.

Gender Identity Lexicon as An Object of Translation

Gender lexical units occupy a special place in modern linguistics. There should also be specific approach to enriching the language of the work of art, giving the image of heroes, in the translation of the gender marked lexicon used by the authors. Words and phrases in the original text, which are common in male and female speeches, are also included. This article mainly describes gender identity lexicon as well as the differentiation of gendered expressive lexical units by researchers. In addition, in the translation of works of art, some thoughts are expressed on the issue of gender-component lexicon.

Development of a New Non-Destructive Analysis Method in Cultural Heritage with Artificial Intelligence

Cultural assets are all movable and immovable assets that have been the subject of social life in historical periods, have unique scientific and cultural value, and are located above ground, underground or underwater. Today, the fact that most of the analyses conducted to understand the technologies of these assets require sampling and that non-destructive methods that allow analysis without taking samples are costly is a problem for cultural heritage workers. In this study, which was prepared to find solutions to national and international problems, it is aimed to develop a non-destructive, cost-minimizing and easy-to-use analysis method. Since this article aimed to develop methodology, the materials were prepared for preliminary research purposes. Therefore, it was limited to four primary colors. These four primary colors were red and yellow ochre, green earth, Egyptian blue and ultramarine blue. These pigments were used with different binders. The produced paints were photographed in natural and artificial light at different light intensities and brought to a 256 × 256 pixel size, and then trained on support vector machine, convolutional neural network, densely connected convolutional network, residual network 50 and visual geometry group 19 models. It was asked whether the trained VGG19 model could classify the paints used in archaeological and artistic works analyzed with instrumental methods in the literature with their real identities. As a result of the test, the model was able to classify paints in artworks from photographs non-destructively with a 99% success rate, similar to the result of the McNemar test.

Analisis Semiotika Pesan Moral Dalam Film 200 Pounds Beauty Versi Indonesia

Film is one of the works of art from mass media that is in great demand by many people, making movies have their own place for many people. Movies also function as a place to convey moral messages, usually in the form of good values that can be used as examples or examples for the audience. In this study, moral messages are depicted in the Indonesian version of the 200 Pounds Beauty movie directed by Ody Harahap in 2023. This research aims to find out what moral messages are contained in the Indonesian version of the 200 Pounds Beauty movie. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research using data collection techniques of observation, documentation, and supporting data from books, articles, and journals. Where data analysis uses Charles Sanders Pierce’s semiotics using the triangle theory of meaning, namely the representamen, object and interpretation. The results of this study indicate that there are seven moral message contents in it, namely First, patience and sincerity are shown by accepting all insults and trials of life gracefully. Second, children's affection for parents is shown in the scene of not leaving parents regardless of their condition. Third, the caring attitude shown in the scene is willing to do anything for someone. Fourth, the meaning of friendship is shown by feeling each other and reminding each other in terms of goodness. Fifth Thinking before acting is that all actions must be taken with consideration not to make people harmed. Sixth love yourself by not listening to others who make us hurt and feel insecure. Seventh honesty shown by revealing to everyone who the real identity is without being covered up again.

Molecular Characterization of Adhesives (Glue Lining Pastes) Used in Restoration.

The molecular characterization of samples from works of art can provide valuable insights into the composition of ancient restoration materials and their conservation state. Here, we present a novel analytical protocol for the molecular characterization of a specific adhesive used in historical painting restoration, known as "glue lining pastes." Due to the high molecular complexity of these adhesives, we propose a multistep extraction protocol to recover and fractionate from a single microsample the three main classes of biomolecules contained in glue pastes (lipids, polysaccharides, and proteins). High-performance separation coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) techniques were applied to the isolated fractions to identify specific components. The proposed method was optimized using test specimens of various traditional glue pastes applied to canvases and successfully applied to a historical glue paste sample from the 17th-century painting "La fuga in Egitto," part of the Pagliara collection at the University Suor Orsola Benincasa (Naples, Italy). The data collected in this work provide insights into the specific recipe used for adhesive preparation, supporting artistic and historical interpretations and contributing to a broader understanding of old restoration practices. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD051480.

ANALISIS SEMIOTIKA ROLLAND BARTHES PADA POSTER SERI WEB ΒΙΟΡΙΚ ELLYAS PICAL

ABSTRACT Communication is the process of exchanging and understanding information between two or more parties. Communication can also be conveyed using various media, one of which is using posters. Posters as a communication medium function to convey messages through graphic synthesis. Posters are also works of art in the form of images or letters which are intended to provide information and ensure that the message and information is understood correctly by the audience, including in promoting a biopic web series. How to promote a biopic web series using posters is definitely very helpful in marketing the biopic web series. This research aims to examine and interpret the meaning contained in the poster for the biopic web series "Ellyas Pical". Using descriptive qualitative research methods and semiotics from Roland Barthes to help examine the sign elements and visual elements on posters. The results of this research are regarding the meaning of denotation, connotation and myth related to the biopic web series. Tells a life story based on the true story of a legendary Indonesian boxer, Ellyas Pical. The poster also provides a brief overview of the film and the characters in it. Keywords: Poster, Ellyas Picas, Semiotics, Roland Barthes.

Plant Theory

Abstract Over a hundred years after the publication of the scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose’s 1922 Abyakta, a book of essays in Bangla where he writes about his experiments on plant life, the response of plants to external stimuli, particularly electrical energy, a nervous system in plants, and his work towards revealing what he calls ‘torulipi’, a plant script, so as to be able to prove that plants were indeed living beings, scientists are now proving many of the Indian scientist’s findings. Simultaneous with this has been a public enthusiasm for the work of writers and artists that feature speculation over, and the subsequent creation of, a plant script. This review of works published in 2023 considers two key publications that illuminate the prescience of Bose’s thought for the contemporary investment in the plant humanities: Katie Holten’s edited anthology The Language of Trees and the spring 2023 special issue of Orion on ‘The Language of Nature’. This review therefore focuses on literature about the plant script while also recording and contextualizing the zeitgeist that compels and indulges such an imagining.

Parmenides-Plato: (Musical) Ontology

Aurel Stroe is one of the few Romanian composers after Enescu who was privileged to extract the essence of his sonorous universe from extended cultural areas, which in fact feed the highest quality ethos. Parmenides was considered by some researchers as the first great idealist, being the first to distinguish between the material and the immaterial, specifying the fact that reality cannot be known only through the senses: this leads to the central concept of BEING, seen as immutable, eternal, unique, homogeneous and indivisible reality. Aurel Stroe insisted in his lectures and courses on the ontological identity of the work of art, being one of the few composers who discuss its being.

The transcendent call from aesthetic experiences

In this article, I discuss theological aesthetics in light of various descriptions of experiences of transcendence that art can provide for human beings. The American author Patti Smith describes, e.g. how works of art “call her” so that she must respond with art productions of her own. This looks similar to what German sociologist Hartmut Rosa calls “resonance”. He describes art as one of the places where an experience of vertical resonance can take place. Smith’s experiences also correspond to the description of the basic experience of transcendence of human beings as they are interpreted by the Danish philosopher Dorthe Jørgensen. However, she reduces these experiences to be immanent in nature because they are objectless. I suggest that systematic theology can contribute with a distinct theological interpretation of aesthetic experiences through a three-fold argument. First, to combine beauty and infinity in the being of God. Second, to reinterpret the notion of the incarnation as God’s continuous presence in the world. And third, by combining natural theology’s point that creation speaks of God with a reinterpretation of the artefacts that humans can create. As such, this paper proposes how systematic theology can contribute to the interpretation of aesthetic experiences of transcendence.

Finite Element Analysis of Leaf Spring Fabricated Via Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

An introduction to fused deposition modeling, or 3D printing technology, will be given in this chapter. The basic idea of additive manufacturing and its underlying scientific theory will be presented at the outset of this chapter as a novel and emerging industrial technology. The parameters used to predict the melt deposition of polymers and their basic interactions with the structural component qualities will also be covered in this chapter. The chapter will provide a brief description of the quality features of FDM products concerning the process parameters. The additive manufacturing process will involve layering material to produce three-dimensional (3D) parts using a class of manufacturing technologies known as additive manufacturing (AM). This substance will include composite, metal, polymer, or concrete materials. A manufacturing process will need to have the following three main elements to be designated as an AM technique: making visual 3D models with computers and computer-aided design (CAD), utilizing a variety of CAD tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, and others. Some of these programs will be either closed- source or open-source. For additive manufacturing to be successful, an engineer or artist working with several computers will need to be proficient in using multiple operating systems. With these CAD tools and user experiences, it will be possible to produce a variety of complex 3D product models. The amount of material a 3D printer will take and the time it will require will be important factors influencing the additive manufacturing process.

The Beauty of the Raku technique in the Works of Potters Shenyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum

Art is an aesthetic message and a means of human communication with its surroundings, as it influences and is influenced by everything that surrounds it, as scientific and intellectual development has a great role in developing the means used in it with the multiplicity of options offered in terms of raw materials and techniques. Undoubtedly, the art of ceramics is one of the arts developed in terms of technology, indicating the development and sophistication of societies throughout history. It offers an aesthetic and utilitarian taste to the community. The color is one of the main elements in the process of adding an aesthetic touch to the surface of the ceramic piece, and this was evident in ceramics of all ages and times, and the implemented idea plays a role in showing an expressive and aesthetic vision in the ceramic surface and in order to keep pace with the rest of the plastic arts. Therefore, the potter always tries to innovate by experimenting with materials and techniques. Accordingly, the potter, especially the Arab potter, relied on coexistence with the modern intellectual dimensions of the era's culture, directing him to research, experimentation, modernization and acculturation from Western arts. This prompted research into Arab ceramics and the study of its ceramic products, especially the art of ceramics and the aesthetics of the raku technique, which is considered the Technique of most potters. The research is part of the methodological framework of the research, as it contains the research question, which concludes with the following question: What is the aesthetic of the raku technique in the works of potters Shunyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum, then the importance of the research, which lies in highlighting the aesthetic effects of the raku technique by identifying the features and characteristics of this Technique reflected in the formal structure of Arab ceramic work and identifying the different reduction processes in this Technique and its impact on the artistic works of potters Shunyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum, to benefit researchers and specialists and enrich scientific libraries and students in the field of ceramics. After that, the aim of the research was discussed: The objective of the research was to identify the raku technique in the works of potters Shinyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum, and then the limits of the research were reached in terms of the objective limits, which were determined by the aesthetic of the raku technique in the works of potters Shinyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum and the temporal limits, which were represented by the period between (2012-2021), the spatial limits (Iraq and Jordan) and the human limits of the potters Shinyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Atoum, and the chapter ends with the definition of the most important terms.

Reclaiming Urban Space: Gordon Matta-Clark’s Artistic Approach to the Peripheral Neighborhoods

This study examines the interaction of art works and architectural interventions by Gordon Matta-Clark in the context of Tirana, analyzing through his practice the destruction of areas of the city for requalification, a relatively recent phenomenon known as gentrification in Tirana. The main question of this research is how Matta-Clark's creativity can serve as a fruitful resource for understanding urban change and advances in formal sustainability. While Tirana in recent years has experienced urban development, the city is challenging simi- lar problems that important cities like New York have experienced during the 60s and 70s. The history of the city and the social issues are different, but still there are some similarities, especially in the case of gentrification. These problems were addressed by artists who aimed to create a dialogue between community rights and public authorities. Referred to that, Matta Clark's art practice can be seen as a way for dealing with those issues. Matta-Clark's approach challenges the boundaries of the routed belief of the role of archi- tecture; he challenges the fixed rules of architecture by focusing on deconstruction and com- munity involvement. By using his works as a method to analyze urban space, this research investigates the artistic and social dimensions of architecture, urban voids, and the potential of temporary abandoned spaces to foster community engagement. The research examines the potential of Matta-Clark's methods in the context of Tirana’s urban re-qualification.

Transformation of Methods of Art Objects Using in Interior Design

The aim of the article is to identify and systematise the methods of using art objects in interior design, to analyse their transformation (from traditional to modern methods) with a focus on various aspects of the relationship between the spatial environment and fine art objects. Results. The research has shown that the transformation of the methods of using art objects (from traditional to modern innovative ones) provides endless opportunities for new methods and technologies of interior design with the use of art objects, which creates a harmonious object-spatial environment taking into account modern design trends. The analysis of art objects and the object-spatial environment revealed their interconnection in the following aspects: functional purpose, location conditions, types of fine art, spatial perception, reflection of the interior theme, integration with technology, and compliance with the principles and goals of sustainable development. The scientific novelty lies in the study, systematisation and analysis of the transformation of methods (from traditional to modern) of using art objects in interior design. Conclusions. The use of art objects in the interior is a complex multifunctional process that reflects a modern approach to the use of art works in the object-spatial environment to achieve a high artistic level in interior design. It has been found that art objects in the interior perform various functions, have certain visual forms of embodiment and create a harmonious aesthetic and meaningful space for living and working. In view of the development of the scientific and technological revolution, we see the prospects for further research in the analysis, systematisation and identification of modern methods transformation, including the identification of new aspects of the relationship between art objects and the subject-spatial environment based on the transformation of methods of using art works.

Painting as Existential Experience: the Work of the Painter Rimvidas Jankauskas-Kampas

The aim of the article is to study the life and creative work of the famous Lithuanian artist Rimvidas Jankauskas-Kampas in the context of socio-cultural phenomena of the late 20th century. Results. Paintings of Rimvidas Jankauskas-Kampas (1957–1993) give an impression of intriguing, temperamental, obscure and enigmatic creative work. The artist lived for a short time, as his life ended unexpectedly when he was only thirty-five years old. The painter is strongly etched in the memory of his contemporaries, and his personality, as well as creative work are intertwined with things that may not even exist. Nowadays, a lot of people talk about Rimvidas Jankauskas-Kampas and his paintings. This bright personality achieves more and more colourful tones, and is vividly portrayed. Art historians are interested in his artistic legacy. The artistic work of this painter remains a subject of interest and discussion among artists and art critics. It is fought over at public auctions, and in the shadow of the art market. After graduating from the Vilnius Art Institute (now the Vilnius Academy of Arts), the young artist was thrust into a period of political change. The liberation of Lithuania from the Soviet Union meant new opportunities and creative freedom for him and other artists. Scientific novelty. This article is the first attempt to analyse in detail the oeuvre of Rimvidas Jankauskas-Kampas, as during the period of political changes, his paintings became a symbol of creative freedom. Conclusions. In fact, this outstanding artist brought many innovations to Lithuanian painting. The painter intuitively found a new concept of abstract painting in Lithuania. His main idea was to improvise freely on a very large canvas, and to paint nature alla prima. Free colour improvisations in his work only appeared after long sessions in painting plein air workshops. Rimvidas Jankauskas-Kampas stood out because he did not care about subtle colour nuances, or even for the whole expressive colourist school of Lithuanian painting. His abstractions are like a short and precise message spoken aloud.
