These thread-papers my wooden sword must be, Nothing more like one I at present see. And now all round this drawing-room I’ll range, And everything I look at I will change. Here’s Mopsa, our old cat, shall be a bird; To a Poll parrot she is now transferred. Here’s mamma’s work-bag, now I will engage To whisk this little bag into a cage; And now, my pretty parrot, get you in it, Another change I’ll show you in a minute.’

Rehomer’s Prayer
A Little Dog Sense
Di Slaney
Sue Hardy-Dawson (b. 1963)
Bring me the wobbly, the scabby, the beaten, the oldies, the lost, the could-have-been-eaten, the wayward, the strays, the nightmares to tame, the cringers, the timid, the ones with no name, the mangy, the lousy, the missing-one-leg, the dirty, the stinky, the too-tired-to-beg, the crooked, the toothless, the eartorn, the humped, the knobbly, the limping, the recently-dumped, the feral, the fearful, the head- and hand-shy, the last gasp no-hopers, the ones who might die, the three-homes-already, the stubborn returners, the deafened, the sightless, the never-will-learners, the tucked-in-the-corner, the sodden in pee, bring me all these ones – please, bring them to me.
If I had a dog’s ears I could hear leaves falling in a wood catch the sound of a snail’s tears appreciate a sparrow’s sneeze the tiniest splash of the first raindrop and listening without looking always tell who was at the door If I had a dog’s nose I could smell badger’s trail on the ground the faint trace of fox and hare relish the aroma of breeze delight in dirt and a river’s dank stink and with the power of sniffing know where a cat crossed before
If I had a dog’s touch I could feel each morning getting up the gentle heartbeat of calm difference in different feet a distant railway rumbling the earth and with the softest of paws the thudding of gates and return of cars But If I’d a dog’s voice I must bark tell all with a tail’s wag I might miss my talking hands and what is it that a dog dreams to go only where others can in the world with no will but what they’re told. No these are things I could never wish for
If I had a dog’s tongue I could taste puddles and think them good recall fondly – tang of worm the faint flavour of handkerchiefs savour the sweetness of salad of sock and with my delicate palate appreciate grey crumbs from the floor

His name was Prince, and he was funky. He was also inspiring, visionary, seductive, and contradictory. Especially contradictory. When he changed his name to an unpronounceable glyph, he merged symbols of the male and female to represent himself. When he recorded music—a daily torrent of creativity— he slipped with ease between male and female viewpoints. This book charts the rise of the 5ft 2-inch “Minneapolis genius” from “the next Stevie Wonder” to a unique artist whose towering legacy continues to shape pop culture. AUTHOR

‘Fine artists deal with finery, but I deal with painful material.’ Zanele Muholi
B: 1972, South Africa
Zanele Muholi is dedicated to amplifying the voices of marginalized queer communities and acknowledging the suffering that has been wrought in the wake of South African apartheid. Identifying as a ‘cultural activist’ rather than an artist, they shun prescribed definitions of beauty and social significance supported by the colonial gaze, and focus on engaging with effective community-led activism. Muholi never refers to ‘subjects’ but rather ‘participants’ who take on a collaborative role in extensive projects such as ‘Faces and Phases’ (2006–), which documents the lives of black lesbian and transgender individuals.

Somnyama Ngonyama: Hail the Dark Lioness, 2016
The more recent series ‘Somnyama Ngonyama: Hail the Dark Lioness’ (2014–17) focuses on the possibilities of the activist’s own image as a black, non-binary person, informed by the prejudices experienced during extensive international travel. The itinerant image-maker took one photo every day for a year, utilizing such ubiquitous materials as pegs, rubber tubes and sponges to build costumes that speak to various forms of South African heritage and often painful acts of historical record. By constructing such commanding images without any form of elaborate set-up, props or process, Muholi speaks to power, resilience and a unique form of un-gilded magnificence. 95

Wölfflin and formal analysis In Principles of Art History (1915), the Swiss art historian Heinrich Wölfflin (1864–1945) sought to systematize formal analysis through his definition of paired, contrasting terms to distinguish fundamental stylistic differences. He defined five basic pairs of characteristics, which he saw as characterizing the Renaissance in contrast to the Baroque: linear vs. painterly, planar vs. recessional, closed forms vs. open forms, multiplicity vs. unity, absolute clarity vs. relative clarity. Here we will use Raphael’s School of Athens (1510–11) (Figure 2.7) to represent the characteristics of Renaissance painting and Rubens’s Garden of Love (c.1630–5) (Figure 2.8) to represent the Baroque. Comparing them clarifies the polarities Wölfflin saw in the styles of these two periods. LINEAR VS. PAINTERLY Wölfflin used the term linear to indicate works that emphasize outlines and have a special
kind of clarity in the spatial separation and relationship of objects to each other. Painterly form is more elusive—attention is withdrawn from the edges, outlines are deemphasized, and form is developed primarily through the use of light and shade. PLANAR VS. RECESSIONAL In a planar composition, objects are represented parallel to the picture plane. The spatial recession is clear, achieved by a series of planes that are all parallel to the picture plane, as in much fifteenth-century Italian art. In contrast, a work characterized by recession is one in which the planes are not clearly articulated as separate parallel units. Spatial depth is created through diagonal placement, and the frontal plane is not emphasized. CLOSED FORMS VS. OPEN FORMS In a closed form, the depicted contents of

represented forms seem to stand in clear relation to their edges, allowing the viewer to establish a clear sense of the forms’ position in relation to other objects in the image. In an open form, spatial relationships are less clear, either among objects within the work or between those objects and the viewer. The elements within the image are not oriented in relation to clear edges. Sometimes, objects merge with other objects into a single mass, without a clear barrier separating them individually. MULTIPLICITY VS. UNITY This dichotomy contrasts works in which the individual parts appear as independent units (even when they are subordinate to a whole), with works that are perceived as unified wholes, in which individual elements are less clearly distinguished from each other.
2.7 Raphael, The School of Athens, 1510–11. Fresco. 19 x 27ft (5.79 x 8.24m). Stanza della Segnatura, Vatican, Rome.
ABSOLUTE CLARITY VS. RELATIVE CLARITY Wölfflin’s final pair is closely related to the preceding pair. Absolute clarity refers to works with explicit and clearly articulated forms, and relative clarity refers to works with less explicit and less clearly articulated forms. Although art historians today may not continue to use these same paired terms, Wölfflin’s comparative method still dominates art-historical research and presentation. Many classroom lectures still rely on a series of paired images to make their points, especially when characterizing stylistic change.
Heinrich Wölfflin. Principles of Art History: The Problem of the Development of Style in Later Art. Translated by M. D. Hottinger. New York: Dover, 1940 (originally published in 1915).
Memorizing important information about important works of art has traditionally been an important part of training in art history. This process teaches the basic material of art history and fixes a set of visual works in your memory that can be drawn on as your study of the discipline continues. Students of art history need to be able to recall images visually, from memory, to understand other works of art as they are exposed to them. For example, if your instructor discusses how Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) modeled some of his compositions on Egyptian sculpture, you will need to remember what Egyptian sculpture looks like in order to understand this observation. As with the analytical and interpretive abilities you acquire through the study of art, a well-trained visual memory will enrich your life and enhance your appreciation of art in a variety of settings. Even if you do not become an art historian, you will probably visit art museums or important cultural sites during your travels. Until relatively recently, a standard part of examinations for introductory art-history students in a survey course, was a series of slide identifications, usually at the very beginning of the exam. Of course, your professors will no doubt be projecting works of art from digital images rather than 35mm photographic slides, but in many places the word “slide” is still in use even if the artifacts themselves are no longer there. In some colleges, students often nicknamed survey courses in art history “Slides,” whether affectionately or mockingly. Today, not all introductory course in art history are survey courses, and, even when they are, increasingly professors are not using these identification sections within their exams. But, since in some places they are still standard, we wanted to discuss them briefly here in case your professor continues this traditional practice. Students often find slide identifications (“Slide IDs” for short) to be the most frustrating and difficult part of art-history exams.

identification usually consists of a single image, shown for a minute or two. During this time, students are asked to “identify” the work in the slide by listing the artist (if known), the subject or title, the date, the location (where it was made and/or where it is if the location is original). Some professors also want to know its medium, and its period or culture. A complete slide identification for Figure 4.1 could be Frida Kahlo, The Two Fridas. 1939. Oil on canvas. Mexico.
In addition to the basic identification, some professors may ask about a specific issue or interpretation in relation to the piece, or ask you to comment generally on its significance, giving you additional time to do this. The slide of Figure 4.1 could be accompanied by this question: Why are there two women depicted here?

History and Art: A Brief History and Fundamentals of Art History.
not narrative and symbolic. In her view, Dutch painters participated in a distinctive visual culture that led them to value detailed paintings of everyday life as a way of knowing the world, not as a way of presenting disguised moralistic messages. She connected painting to the production of maps, lenses, and mirrors as expressions of a distinctive Dutch visual culture. Other scholars (e.g., Willem Lash) have argued that both perspectives on Dutch painting could be right—that Dutch artists deliberately created open-ended works which viewers could interpret symbolically, if they chose to, or experience as a fresh and penetrating view of the world if that was their inclination.
Practicing iconography and iconology When beginning an iconographic and iconological analysis, it helps to work slowly and systematically through Panofsky’s three stages, usually in order. Only rarely, however, will all three be surveyed in order when crafting a final presentation of your analysis and interpretation. A painting entitled De Style (1993) by American artist Kerry James Marshall can serve as an example of the beginning of such a systematic, three-step analysis (Figure 1.5).
The pre-iconographic description or natural subject matter will be quite rudimentary or somewhat more involved depending on the viewer’s or scholar’s life experiences and the relationship of these experiences to the subject portrayed in the painting. . What does this painting represent, on the simplest level? It portrays five human figures within an interior setting. Two stand and three sit. The four whose heads are visible address viewers directly, almost as if they had just come into the room. Those already in the room seem to be acknowledging them. On a basic level, the setup is similar to that in Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Double Portrait, but unlike that now-familiar painting, although there is a mirror on the back wall—not the relatively small, framed convex mirror of the double portrait, but a broad strip of reflective glass that extends all the way across this room—if viewers are entering this room, they are not reflected here. What is reflected rather prominently, however, are the backs of the two standing figures, and since those reflections are not directly behind them but off their right shoulders, either they or the mirror are tilted, or the viewer is slightly off center. Because of overlapping, not everything is visible in this crowded painting, but behind and around the monumental human forms we can see a sizable collection of objects and furnishings. Many viewers will draw on their own experiences to interpret these, as well as on the broad expanse of the mirror and the postures and actions of the figures posed in front of it, as evidence that this scene is set in a barber shop. Since the figures are Black, presumably this is a barber shop that serves an African-American clientele. An iconographic analysis usually requires research on the part of viewers or scholars who are not already familiar with the subjects and symbols portrayed in the painting.
. Which aspects of the painting carry specific conventional or symbolic significance that will help us focus our understanding on the meaning of the painting as a whole?
. What are the salient aspects of the setting and the conventional meaning of the individual objects within it?

The room in which these men stand is full of tools used in cutting hair (e.g., the electric clippers in the right hand of the barber) and products used to style it (e.g., Royal Crown Hair Dressing, a still well-known pomade used in grooming that sits on a surface near the barber’s right elbow). The particular barber shop represented (real or imagined) is identified as Percy’s House of Style in a diploma framed with what must be a souvenir first-dollar-earned and hung in front of the mirror at upper left. In the same area of the painting, the mirror itself reflects in reverse a part of the shop’s name—presumably painted on the other side of a street-front window glass. On the other side of the painting, the mir-
Are works of art puzzles? Do they pose problems? Are art historians needed to put together the pieces or solve those problems? Underlying formalist and iconographic/ iconological approaches to art history is the basic question of whether or not a work of art is something that needs to be deciphered, like a puzzle or a murder mystery. Do artworks pose problems of understanding that need to be solved? Do we need to crack their visual, iconographic, and iconological codes before we can understand them? In his undergraduate classes on the methods and theories of art history, Michael Cothren often assigned an article and asked students to figure out 1. what was the problem the art historian was addressing? 2. what was the solution they offered? 3. what was the theoretical and methodological system and the nature of the evidence that allowed them to move from problem to solution, like walking from ignorance on a bridge to knowledge on the other side? After they had accomplished this, he suggested that they ponder what was at stake in choosing to address the problem and posing a solution in their particular way. Sometimes, scholars make the rationale for, and the perceived importance of their
studies, very clear from the outset in their publications. Good examples are Meyer Schapiro’s 1939 article on the transition from Mozarabic to Romanesque style in medieval Spain and Linda Seidel’s 1989 revisionist study of the iconography and iconology of Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Double Portrait. Sometimes, however, we as readers have to figure out the inspiration and reasons for the study, as well as the nature of the methods used to draw its conclusions, in the process of reading the article itself. Art historian James Elkins has proposed that, because this deciphering or problemsolving mode has become such a basic art-historical practice, art historians tend to focus on works of art that can be treated this way, that call for problem-solving and code-cracking. He says, “We are inescapably attracted to pictures that appear as puzzles, and unaccountably uninterested in clear meanings and manifest solutions. The discipline thrives on the pleasure of problems well solved, and it languishes in the face of the good, the common, the merely true, the skillful, the private, and above all, the image that refuses to present itself as a puzzle.” (p. 258) If art historians are detectives and problem solvers, is it because we choose to be? Or do the works of art themselves call for it?
Of course, iconography and iconology do not have to be used in isolation from other theoretical viewpoints. A three-part Panofskian analysis could be executed as a starting point, using it to generate ideas, and then using those ideas as the basis for addressing issues of ideology, class, gender, or race, informed by specific contextualizing theories presented in subsequent chapters of this book.
Beyond the object Traditional practice of iconography and iconology as envisioned by Panofsky, as well as traditional visual analysis, runs the risk of an inadvertent emphasis on material objects—painting, sculpture, architecture, drawings, prints, etc.—as the primary, or even the exclusive, subjects of art-historical analysis. We must keep in mind that art history can be concerned with multiple subjects that may or may not focus on objects, including the history of art institutions, the roles of patrons and collectors, the way objects are or were used in ritual or performance, and how performance itself can constitute a form of art. Can these traditional systems of inquiry be useful in the interpretation of works of art that are not object-based? Performance is a vibrant form of practice in contemporary art, and there are many different theorizations of contemporary performance art. In the 1990s, French art critic and curator Nicolas Bourriaud developed the theory of relational aesthetics to account for the work of contemporary artists responding to the social relations and artistic practices made possible by new technologies, including digital media and the Internet. “The role of artworks is no longer to form imaginary and utopian realities,” he declared, “but to actually be ways of living and models of action within the existing real, whatever the scale chosen by the artist.” (p.13) For example, Rirkrit Tiravanija’s Untitled (Free) was an event in which the artist took all the hidden work that usually goes on in an art gallery and put it on display—gallery employees went about the business of buying and selling works, cataloguing them, doing accounting, etc., in the galleries rather than the back offices— while, at the same time, Tiravanija set up a kitchen and cooked Thai curry, which he offered to gallery visitors.
