Language: Labels on photograph mounts are in English. Summary: Originally assembled by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for study purposes, this collection is comprised of 2,790 black-and-white photographs documenting the work of 250 sculptors. Administrative Information Acquisition Information Received from the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a gift. The initial batch of 2,612 prints was received in 2005. 178 additional photographs were received in 2011. Processing Information Upon receipt of the initial gift, the Collection was processed (the original alphabetic order by artists largely retained), rehoused and a preliminary inventory compiled. When the additional 178 photographs were received in 2011, they were integrated into the collection, arranged alphabetically by sculptor's last name. As part of the cataloging process, Photograph Archive staff researched the works depicted in each photograph. Some of the original label information was found to be incorrect. Current owners of art works and other descriptive identifying information was added to the online record when known. Images were digitized for online access.

Biographical / Historical The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded on April 13, 1870, "to be located in the City of New York, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining in said city a Museum and library of art, of encouraging and developing the study of the fine arts, and the application of arts to manufacture and practical life, of advancing the general knowledge of kindred subjects, and, to that end, of furnishing popular instruction." The Metropolitan Museum of Art collects, studies, conserves, and presents significant works of art across all times and cultures in order to connect people to creativity, knowledge, and ideas. Scope and Contents The bulk of the collection was assembled by the Metropolitan Museum of Art starting around 1910 and continuing up through 1940, with a few additions added in the 1950s. The images were assembled for study purposes for the Museum's American Department. Included are works from in-house Met staff photographers, as well as photographs acquired from outside sources, including works by commercial photographers and publishers (notably A. B. Bogart, Louis H. Dreyer, Detroit Publishing Company, Joseph Hawkes, and De Witt Ward). Also included are photographs assembled by the Carnegie Corporation of New York for the study of American art and presented to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1930. Among the artists well represented in the collection are: Herbert Adams, Robert Aitken, Alexander Archipenko, George Grey Barnard, Chester Beach, Karl Bitter, Solon H. Borglum, Alexander Stirling Calder, Gaetano Cecere, Henry Clews, Jr., Cyrus Edwin Dallin, Jo Davidson, John Donoghue, Ulric Henry Ellerhusen, Sir Jacob Epstein, Rudolph Evans, John Flannagan, James Earle Fraser, Daniel Chester French, Harriet Whitney Frishmuth, Emil Fuchs, John Gregory, Frances Grimes, Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington, Anna Coleman Ladd, Evelyn Beatrice Longman, Augustus Lukeman, Frederick MacMonnies, Hermon Atkins MacNeil, Paul Manship, Edward McCartan, Albin Polasek, Bela Lyon Pratt, Richard H. Recchia, Frederic Remington, Frederick George Richard Roth, Frederic Wellington Ruckstull, William Rush, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Lorado Zadoc Taft, and Adolph A. Weinman. Of note, the collection includes a number of rare early photographs of outdoor sculpture and public monuments, including images of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial by Gutzon Borglum, South Dakota, the Emancipation Monument by Thomas Ball, Washington, D.C., the Dewey Monument by Robert Aitken in San Francisco, George Washington by Horatio Greenough in Washington, D.C., and the William Earl Dodge Memorial by John Quincy Adams Ward shown in its original setting in Herald Square, New York City, before it was moved to Bryant Park in 1941. In addition, the collection has some portraits of artists posing with their sculptures, including Robert Aitken, Gutzon Borglum, Solon Borglum, John Donoghue, Sally James Farnham, Daniel Chester French, Anna Hyatt Huntington, Albin Polasek, Richard Recchia, and Frederic Wellington Ruckstull; and some exhibition Page 2 of 20 Metropolitan Museum of Art study collection of American sculpture photographs SAAM.Photo.MET installation views, including works by Emil Fuchs exhibited at Fine Arts Building and Cartier Gallery in New York and works by Paul Manship exhibited at the Jessup Memorial Library in Bar Harbor, Maine.

  • The Studio Homes of Daniel Chester French by Karen Zukowski
    SPRING 2018 Volume 25, No. 1 NEWSLETTER City/Country: The Studio Homes of Daniel Chester French by karen zukowski hat can the studios of Daniel Chester French (1850–1931) tell us about the man who built them? He is often described as a Wsturdy American country boy, practically self-taught, who, due to his innate talent and sterling character, rose to create the most heroic of America’s heroic sculptures. French sculpted the seated figure in Washington, D.C.’s Lincoln Memorial, which is, according to a recent report, the most popular statue in the United States.1 Of course, the real story is more complex, and examination of French’s studios both compli- cates and expands our understanding of him. For most of his life, French kept a studio home in New York City and another in Massachusetts. This city/country dynamic was essential to his creative process. BECOMING AN ARTIST French came of age as America recovered from the trauma of the Civil War and slowly prepared to become a world power. He was born in 1850 to an established New England family of gentleman farmers who also worked as lawyers and judges and held other leadership positions in civic life. French’s father was a lawyer who eventually became assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury under President Grant. Dan (as his family called him) came to his profession while they were living in Concord, Massachusetts. This was the town renowned for plain living and high thinking, the home of literary giants Amos Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond nearby.

  • 'A Baby's Unconsciousness' in Sculpture: Modernism, Nationalism
    Emily C. Burns ‘A baby’s unconsciousness’ in sculpture: modernism, nationalism, Frederick MacMonnies and George Grey Barnard in fin-de-siècle Paris In 1900 the French critic André Michel declared the US sculpture on view at the Exposition Universelle in Paris as ‘the affirmation of an American school of sculpture’.1 While the sculptors had largely ‘studied here and … remained faithful to our salons’, Michel concluded, ‘the influence of their social and ethnic milieu is already felt in a persuasive way among the best of them’.2 How did Michel come to declare this uniquely American school? What were the terms around which national temperament – what Michel describes as a ‘social and ethnic milieu’ – was seen as manifest in art? Artistic migration to Paris played a central role in the development of sculpture in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Hundreds of US sculptors trained in drawing and modelling the human figure at the Ecole des beaux-arts and other Parisian ateliers.3 The circulation of people and objects incited a widening dialogue about artistic practice. During the emergence of modernism, debates arose about the relationships between tradition and innovation.4 Artists were encouraged to adopt conventions from academic practice, and subsequently seek an individuated intervention that built on and extended that art history. Discussions about emulation and invention were buttressed by political debates about cultural nationalism that constructed unique national schools.5 In 1891, for example, a critic bemoaned that US artists were imitative in their ‘thoughtless acceptance of whatever comes from Paris’.6 By this period, US artists were coming under fire for so fully adopting French academic approaches that their art seemed inextricably tied to its foreign model.

  • Brooklyn All Souls
    George G. Barnard, Noted Sculptor Was Working on Rainbow Arch, Peace Memorial When Stricken April 7 George Grey Barnard, noted sculptor, died yesterday of heart disease in the Harkness Pavilion of the Columbia-Presbyterian Center at the age of 74. He had been ailing there since April 7. The Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday announced that on May 14, it would open the new Cloisters In Fort Tryon Park, a museum of medieval art and architecture with the nucleus pieces collected by Mr. Barnard and sold by him to John D. Rockefeller Jr. for $650,000 in 1925. His death left uncompleted the most ambitious work of his career—the Rainbow Arch, a 100-foot peace memorial standing in plaster model stage in a Third Avenue Railway powerhouse at 216th St. and the Harlem River. Mr. Barnard had planned to sell his private art collection to procure funds to complete the memorial In marble. Well Known in Brooklyn Although Mr. Barnard lived and worked in Manhattan, he was well known in Brooklyn. He was a close friend of the Rev. Cornelius Greenway, pastor of All Souls Universalist Church, to which he presented notable examples of his art. On Nov. 11, 1930, Mr. Barnard gave All Souls Church the sculptor's model of one of his most famous bronzes, "Brotherly Love." Appearing in person to present the model, the sculptor preached on "Sermons in Stone." A five-foot bas-relief, "The Descent From the Cross," was presented to All Souls Church by Mr. Barnard on Dec. 20, 1931. He said at the time that the gift was a token of his friendship for Mr.

  • Key Passages in Shakespeare's Plays
    The plays of the First Folio have been intensely studied, discussed, debated and performed. Some performances remain true to the text and others are adapta - tions. In fact, some tragedies were once thought to be more enjoyable to an audience if “happy endings” were added. Thomas Bowdler is remembered for publishing The Family Shakespeare in the early 19th century. This was an edi - tion of Shakespeare’s plays that omitted content that was considered offensive or inappropriate for children.
