Abstract

In given circumstances, art can play a crucial role in motivating people to participate in altruistic acts of protest and in initiating the formation of social movements. The story of the most controversial work of art in Norwegian cultural history, the so-called Vietnam Picture from 1965, provides an illuminating illustration of how and why artists and their work can have and have had a significant impact on peace and solidarity movements. The article discusses the qualities of artistic production and its reception that can stimulate and sustain protest. Picasso’sGuernicaprovides an interesting parallel to the Vietnam Picture, and the two pictures are briefly compared. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

8. Half beast-half man: hybrid figures in animal art.

Author

Kristoffersen, Siv

Subjects
*HUMAN-animal relationships, *ANIMALS in art, *NORSE mythology, *MYTHICAL animals, *ANIMALS & civilization, *NORWEGIAN art, *PREHISTORIC art
Abstract

This paper seeks to explore ideas about the human-animal relationship prevailing in Scandinavian, pre-Christian society from the perspective of representations in Nordic animal art. After an introduction on art, meaning and context, it focuses on expressions of hybridity. Hybrid motifs are represented in the animal art in complex and dense expressions argued to reveal a basic transformative logic which challenges and transcends settled categories. The investment of creativity in these motifs, an investment which is argued also to be present in the periphrastic style of Old Norse poetry, is taken as an indication of their essentiality in respect of ideas of a transgressive relationship between animals and humans.
