  • John Singer Sargent Gassed Opens Feb. 23
    News Release Friday, Jan. 12, 2018 Contacts: Mike Vietti, National WWI Museum and Memorial, (816) 888-8122, [email protected] “Extraordinary” and “Colossal” Painting to be Centerpiece of Debut Exhibition in National WWI Museum and Memorial’s New Wylie Gallery John Singer Sargent Gassed Opens Feb. 23 KANSAS CITY, Mo. – One of the world’s largest war-related paintings will be exhibited in the Midwest for the first time as part of the inaugural Wylie Gallery exhibition John Singer Sargent Gassed as announced today by the National WWI Museum and Memorial. Gassed, which measures a staggering 21-feet long by nine-feet tall, is a landmark painting from famed artist John Singer Sargent depicting a line of British soldiers blinded by exposure to poison gas at a dressing station. Considered one of the most important war-related works of the past several centuries, Gassed was hailed as “monumental” by the New York Times, a “masterpiece” by the Daily Mail, “magnificent” by the Telegraph, “epic” by the Associated Press and “extraordinary” by The Guardian. Upon viewing the painting for the first time, Sir Winston Churchill referred to the work as “brilliant genius.” Today’s announcement falls on the birthday of Sargent, who was born on Jan. 12, 1856 to American parents in Florence, Italy. “The significance of this painting cannot be understated – Gassed is one of the most important works of art from one of the preeminent artists of the past two centuries,” said National WWI Museum and Memorial President and CEO Dr. Matthew Naylor. “Gassed is a national treasure in the United Kingdom and bringing this magnificent painting to the National WWI Museum and Memorial stands as one of the most important achievements in our history.” The historic painting is making its debut in the Midwest and is in the United States for just the second time since its completion in 1919.

    COPAS—Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies Issue 17.1 (2016) “Modern Medicine Had to Start Somewhere:” Performing Health and White Privilege in The Knick Claudia Trotzke ABSTRACT: This essay examines the interrelations of health and white privilege in the U.S.- American historical and medical drama The Knick (2014-). Employing a broad definition of health and drawing from performance studies, this article argues that the everyday life within the series depicts a racist society, while the television series itself with its rhetoric of modernity and visual strategies makes white privilege visible in the context of health. The television series and everyday life within the show are examined in regard to their performative dimensions, i.e. both levels of performance do not merely represent, but take an active part in defining health and its surrounding discourses. KEYWORDS: White Privilege, Health, Medicine, Performance Studies, Modernity, The Knick Setting the Stage: Performing Health and White Privilege Health has always been a highly-discussed topic in U.S.-American culture and politics, as, for instance, a historical overview of universal health care and health care politics on the website of the White House demonstrates.1 Still, issues of health have had a particular currency lately due to the health care reform introduced in the form of the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in 2010 (see “About the Health Care Law”). Drawing from medical humanities and offering a critical and scholarly engagement with the topic of health and its surrounding discourses, the field of American Studies has recently dealt with many dimensions of health as well.

  • Edward Elgar and John Singer Sargent
    The Last Late-Romantics: Edward Elgar and John Singer Sargent Arthur S. Reynolds Although they were distinguished artistic contemporaries, the paths of Elgar and the painter John Singer Sargent crossed on very few occasions, and then only as dinner guests of a mutual friend. And yet they may have had more in common than their passing acquaintance suggests. This article draws parallels between their respective careers and temperaments, and finds much in both of their lives that casts an informative light on the other. March 1905 was a busy time in the life of Sir Edward Elgar. The month began in Birmingham, where Elgar had gone to supervise preparations for the inaugural lecture he was to give on 16March as Birmingham University’s first Peyton Professor of Music. By 4 March he was back at ‘Plâs Gwyn’ to collect Alice for an urgent London train journey to rehearse the London Symphony Orchestra for a concert at Queen’s Hall on 8 March. The programme would include two premières: Elgar’s new march, Pomp and Circumstance No. 3, and his ‘string thing’, the Introduction and Allegro for String Quartet and String Orchestra. As usual on important London occasions, the Elgars stayed with Frank Schuster at his house in Old Queen Street, Westminster. Schuster celebrated the performances of the new works with a grand dîner on 12 March. Among the guests was John Singer Sargent, by common consent the finest portrait painter then living. This was the third time the two titans of their respective art forms had encountered one another in Frank Schuster’s dining room.

  • POISON GAS in WORLD WAR I by Michael Neiberg
    June 2012 September 2013 POISON GAS IN WORLD WAR I By Michael Neiberg Michael Neiberg is Professor of History in the Department of National Security Studies at the US Army War College in Carlisle, PA. He has been a Guggenheim fellow, a founding member of the Société Internationale d’Étude de la Grande Guerre, and a trustee of the Society for Military History. His most recent book on the First World War is Dance of the Furies: Europe and the Outbreak of World War I (Harvard University Press, 2011). In October, 2012 Basic Books published his The Blood of Free Men, a history of the liberation of Paris in 1944. In May, 1919, just as the diplomats of the great powers were putting the final touches on what became the Treaty of Versailles, Britain’s Royal Academy of Arts awarded its painting of the year to John Singer Sargent’s “Gassed” (http://jssgallery.org/Paintings/Gassed/Gassed.htm). Sargent, an American, was then 62 years old and already a legend in the art world for his portraits and his epic grand paintings. On the strength of those paintings, he had received a commission from the British government to paint an epic picture for the proposed Hall of Remembrance in London. Unsure of his approach for so crucial a painting, Sargent wrote to a friend to express his concern that he would not be able to find a subject worthy of the grandeur and the scale that the British government wanted for the hall. Sargent had already seen his share of the horrors of the war as an official artist for the American government, yet nothing he had yet seen seemed to him sufficient for the new work.

  • Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915
    Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair Paul Berger Stuart Lingo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2015 Kimberly E. Hereford ii University of Washington Abstract Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History This dissertation examines representations in art of the Victorian woman in “altered states.” Though characterized in Victorian art in a number of ways, women are most commonly stereotyped as physically listless and mentally vacuous. The images examined show the Victorian female in a languid and at times reclining or supine pose in these representations. In addition, her demeanor implies both emotional and physical depletion, and there is both a pronounced abandonment of the physical and a collapsing effect, as if all mental faculties are withdrawing inward. Each chapter is dedicated to examining one of these distinct but interrelated types of femininity that flourished throughout British and American art from c. 1850 to c. 1910. The chapters for this dissertation are organized sequentially to demonstrate a selected progression of various states of consciousness, from the most obvious (the sleeping woman) to iii the more nuanced (the female Aesthete and the female medium). In each chapter, there is the visual perception of the Victorian woman as having access to otherworldly conditions of one form or another.

Performing Identities in the art of John Singer Sargent Abstract In the elegant society portraits by John Singer Sargent, body language created social identities. The fallen dress strap and obvious makeup in Madame X, for example, declared her a “professional beauty”; the costume of Charles Stewart proclaimed him a British lord. Critics often conflated appearance and character in Sargent's images, yet Sargent used theatre and masquerade in numerous works to problematize essentialist links between appearance and character that were fundamental to turn-of-the-century class, gender, and racial stereotypes. This dissertation concentrates on the art Sargent produced after Madame X, as he recovered from the scandal it provoked in 1884 and as he established his patron base in England and America. Many of Sargent's later works can be seen as a response to the issues raised by Madame X concerning the relationship between appearance and character. An analysis of theatrical elements in Sargent's paintings elucidates the function of these images in variously maintaining and challenging notions of social identity. Chapter One discusses the critical reception of Sargent's art in the context of a turn-of-the-century culture engaged in classification and performance activities.

  • Examining American Nationalism and Homoeroticism in Thomas Eakins’ the Swimming Hole
    16 FOOTNOTES Volume 2 (2009) Everything for Young Men to Enjoy: Examining American Nationalism and Homoeroticism in Thomas Eakins’ The Swimming Hole Daniella Sanader Abstract Focusing on Thomas Eakins’ The Swimming Hole, this research paper examines the painting as a landscape fraught with conflicting concerns. I explore The Swimming Hole from within the constructed ideals of nineteenth- century American masculinity and discuss how across its surface, notions of homoeroticism, athletic morality and nationalism engage with one another yet remain unresolved and discontinuous. This instability is explained through a contextual history of the nineteenth-century popularity of sports and recreation, the advent of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), and the association between organized play and the growth of a moral American citizen. Eakins’ use of the male nude will also be examined, while defining the concept of the homoerotic as it relates to the painting. By tying together these varied themes, this research paper reaches a conclusion of how The Swimming Hole fits into art historical discourse, queer studies and the history of American nationalism. They have everythingfor young men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys... It ‘sfun to stay at the YMCA. - “YMCA” by The Village People Set against a picturesque backdrop of the American countryside, Thomas Eakins’ The Swimming Hole depicts a lazy afternoon shared between Eakins and five of his male students at Dove Lake, near Philadelphia. For such a simple subject, The Swimming Hole is a remarkably unstable image, and Eakins’ ambiguous artistic strategies have puzzled critics and art historians ever since the painting’s completion in 1885.

  • ESSAY REVIEW Thomas Eakins Reconsidered
    ESSAY REVIEW Thomas Eakins Reconsidered Thomas Eakins. By LLOYD GOODRICH. (Cambridge: Published for the National Gallery of Art by Harvard University Press, 1982. Volume I, xvi, 336 p., Volume II, 366 p. Illustrations, chronology, bibliography, index. $90.00.) Thomas Eakins: Artist of Philadelphia. By DARRELL SEWELL. (Philadelphia: Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1982. Catalogue of an exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1982. xvi, 136 p. Illustrations, checklist. $12.95.) "Thomas Eakins is a difficult subject for the usual biography, because of his objection to having his private life written about," wrote his widow Susan Macdowell Eakins to her grandniece in the 1930s. When the young scholar Lloyd Goodrich brought the manuscript of Thomas Eakins: His Life and Work to her in 1932, she wondered again about so many words on the subject of "a man who did not care to be written about." Goodrich's book, published by the new Whitney Museum of American Art in 1933, now seems like a modest effort, although his claims for Eakins's importance were large and surely the impact of the book was significant. Today, one wonders what Tom and Susie would think of Goodrich's revised biography, now two volumes and almost 700 pages in length, not including a third volume still in the works, containing an up-dated catalogue raisonne. Doubtlessly Eakins himself would be by turns amused, appalled, puzzled and infuriated by this display of research and speculation. Honored in his own day, as he testified, by "misunderstanding, persecution and neglect, enhanced because unsought," Eakins would have to view such belated attention ironically.
