First, I would like to express my thanks to my thesis committee: Dr. Elizabeth Monroe (chair), Dr. Dwight Burlingame, and Dr. Philip Scarpino.

My Summer Fellowship during 2007 encapsulated many of my early encounters with the institutional histories and sources necessary to produce this thesis. I am grateful to the staff of Historic Deerfield and the thirty other museums included during the fellowship trips for their willingness to discuss their institutional histories and philanthropic challenges.

  • The Museum of Modern Art (Moma)
    QUICK VIEW: Synopsis Since its inception in 1929, the Museum of Modern Art has continually redefined the idea of the museum in contemporary Western culture. Originally conceived by its founders as a place for Modern art to come and go (because what makes up modernism is constantly changing), MoMA, as it is commonly known, established a permanent collection in 1952 and has become the home for some of the greatest works of avant-garde painting, sculpture, film and multi-media art in the world. While MoMA remains true to its roots as a place where new styles of art can circulate, its permanent collection is widely considered the most impressive and diverse assortment of Modern art to ever exist, ranging from late-19th-century van Goghs, Monets and Gauguins to works produced in the present day. The idea of a Museum of Modern Art was once considered by critics to be an oxymoron. Its very existence posed the question: How can there be a museum (a permanent institution housing the heritage of human civilization) for Modern art (which embodies the ideal of always moving forward and constantly changing)? Rather than shy away from this paradox, MoMA has embraced its contradictory nature by appealing to both the history of Modernism and the legacy it continues to leave in the 21st century. Founding principles • The idea for the museum was first developed by a group of philanthropists, educators and museum curators, led by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (wife of John D. Rockefeller), in 1928. They envisioned a modest-sized location in New York City that could essentially be a stop-over for some of Europe's finest Modern art.

Last year’s report on the Chinese Art Market provided a unique overview and insight into a rapidly changing and developing market. This year, we have decided to look at philanthropy and patronage of the arts. There are many developments taking place around the world that make this a very pertinent topic. The report explores how the priorities of today’s patrons differ from those of the previous generation. Changing attitudes and the evolution of a host of new patronage models make this a fascinating area. In an age where sustainability, transparency, social impact and accountability are paramount, it is important to ask questions about how and why we raise money for the arts and the public benefit that this can bring. It is particularly relevant to ask these questions now, when the arts are under increasing pressure from public funding cuts.

    CAMILLE COTTRELL The Mainstreaming of Modern Art in America (Under the direction of WILLIAM T. SQUIRES) This interdisciplinary research project investigates the individual and collective efforts of a four-pronged advocacy coalition which promoted Modernism in America between 1930 and 1950. The study documents the activities of the commercial art dealers, the patrons and collectors, the museums and the educators who mainstreamed modern art into the cultural psyche of the United States. Through their interactions and collective power, they were instrumental in the grafting of fledgling American art sensibilities to vanguard European practices, the establishment of valid educational mechanisms to promote an appreciation of Modernism, the recognition of New York as the international capital of art and culture, and the formation of aesthetic theories which were uniquely representational of America. Through the analysis of unpublished archival material, journals, memoirs, artists’ statements, relevant critical writings and educational publications, the individual and concomitant activities of these advocacy groups are examined. The research documents the congruent exhibitions, theoretical discussions, and didactic programs devoted to Modernism and draws correlations between the modern art movement and the catalytic shifts in educational practices. Findings from the research suggest the conscious formation of a cultural coalition which proselytized modern art, created a system of patronage for the art and disseminated its philosophical and iconographical principles throughout the United States. The research indicates that it was the unfaltering efforts of a powerful art collective which included the dealers, the patrons, the museums and the educational systems, who used their aegis to transform the aesthetic identity of the United States and poise America to become the new center of the artistic world.

[Image: MoMA’s building front side] What you see before you is the renovated façade of our first custom-made building. It was built in 1939 and it projects out into the street with this very clear international-style architecture that was, in 1939, a declaration of the Museum of Modern Art’s presence in New York as a place committed and dedicated to the present as opposed to the past. The other thing that’s striking about the museum is that its entrance was right on the street. If you think about historical museums, you went up a flight of steps to differentiate yourself from the institution, to step away from the street. What the Museum of Modern Art did is it declared itself part of the city, part of the energy and dynamism of the city.

  • Robert Henri and the Eight
    Exhibiting Modernism in America A Look at the People, Places, and Exhibits that brought Modernism to America Jacqueline M. Parker Candidate for B.F.A. Degree in History of Art with Honors April/2006 APPROVED Thesis Project Advisor:_____________________________ Elizabeth Fowler Second Reader:___________________________________ Mary Warner Marien Honors Director:__________________________________ Honors Representative:_____________________________ (No Name Necessary) Date:___________________________________________ Abstract At the end of the nineteenth century American art and art exhibits were stuck in a conservative academic aesthetic that dominated the American art scene. Modernism, which had been flourishing in Paris since the 1870s, was still completely alien to the United States. The few progressive artists that were working in the U.S. found it impossible to exhibit or sell their work, since there was no market for American art done outside the National Academy of Design or the Society of American Artists. In order for these artists to succeed the American aesthetic needed to change in favor of a modern art market. The following study looks at what America needed to accomplish in order to become a part of a modern international art scene. The themes of education and acceptance of Modernism and progressive American work are explored through five figures and/or events that took place during the early twentieth century. The sections included Robert Henri and “The Eight” Exhibition (1908), Alfred Stieglitz and the “291” gallery (1905-1917), the International Exhibition of 1913 known as the Armory Show, Katherine Sophie Dreier and her Société Anonyme (founded 1920), and The Museum of Modern Art (founded 1929). Each section will discuss the historical content of the events and how it related to furthering America’s appreciation of living artists as well as opening up to the ides and movements from abroad.

In the 1930s, New York's Museum ofModern Art and its director Alfred H. Barr, Jr. developed the aesthetic "white cube," a display method that was revolutionary in its objective focus and clean execution and fulfilled the unique needs of its era. Since this time, our society and culture have changed, yet art museum display has largely remained in stasis. Although European movements and institutions are mentioned, this thesis explores the history of museum display and the development ofthe white cube through the lens ofthe American art museum and seeks to offer practical alternatives. The time has come to embrace new contextual and interactive techniques that better suit the needs ofour era and encourage viewer engagement and understanding rather than passive consumption. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.
