An artist known by a monogram. In particular, an artist whose real name is known only by a monogram. A monogram is a name indicated by initials alone or a combination of several letters, and was originally engraved on ancient coins as a guarantee, and in the Middle Ages was used on wax seal rings. The signature as an expression of ownership or copyright was originally related to the artist's awareness of the change in social status from craftsman to artist, and the monogram, which omits the signature, can be seen as a transitional phenomenon. Monogrammers were relatively common among painters and printmakers in Germany and the Netherlands from the 15th to the 17th centuries. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
モノグラムによって知られる美術家のこと。ことに本名がモノグラムによってしか知られない作家。モノグラムとは頭文字だけか,数文字の組合せによって示される人名で,古くは古代の貨幣に保証用に刻印し,中世では封蠟の印章付指輪に用いられた。所有権,著作権の表現としての署名は,はじめは美術家の,職人から芸術家への社会的地位の変化の自覚と関係するもので,署名の省略されたモノグラムは過渡的現象とみられよう。モノグラミストは15世紀から17世紀にかけてドイツとネーデルラントの画家,版画家に比較的多い。
