Edwin Lord Weeks: an American Artist in North Africa and South Asia Edwin Lord Weeks: An American Artist in North Africa and South Asia Dana M. Garvey A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair René Bravmann Stuart Lingo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2013 Dana M. Garvey University of Washington Abstract Edwin Lord Weeks: An American Artist in North Africa and South Asia Dana M. Garvey Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History Artist, adventurer, travel writer and cultural commentator Edwin Lord Weeks (1849– 1903) was one of America's most celebrated expatriate artists. From the 1870s through the 1890s the Boston native and Paris resident traveled throughout Spain, Syria, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Persia and India, venturing well beyond "the Orient" familiar to many of his professional colleagues. His scenes of Egypt and Morocco established early successes in France and America. Travels to India beginning in 1882 inspired a new vision of that region centered on its monumental architecture, colorful street life and vibrant culture. His fresh, bold images of India distinguished Weeks from rival American and European Orientalist painters, established his mature reputation, and brought sustained international acclaim. The dissertation situates Weeks' life and work in a broad socio-political context. For the first time, Weeks' reputation as an intrepid "artist-adventurer" is examined relative to critical and popular reception, the construction of artistic identity, the interdependence of text and image, and the evolving definition of the modern American artist. Original research confirms, clarifies and augments Weeks' biography. New analysis places Weeks at the center of artistic life in 1870s Boston, sheds light on his confusing Moroccan excursions of the 1870s and early 1880s, and brackets his Indian itineraries of the 1880s and 1890s. Weeks' enduring associations with the École des Beaux-Arts, Léon Bonnat and Jean-Léon Gérôme are considered in depth. Despite these academic affiliations, Weeks' consistent emphasis on the effects of sunlight, glare, immediacy and viewer participation indicates that he was thoroughly immersed in contemporary aesthetic concerns. Weeks' major paintings of India, exhibited at the Paris Salon and internationally, emerge as conceptually innovative and transformative when viewed against the long French and British traditions of visualizing India. Moreover, they may be read as richly layered commentary on contemporary topics such as architectural preservation and the geopolitics of Central/South Asia. The cross-cultural circumstances of their production, their integration of French and British visual and textual sources, and the pervasive backdrop of colonialism reveal Edwin Lord Weeks' career as a complex transnational project grounded in an American identity and perspective. Acknowledgements My research for this dissertation was greatly aided by the capable staffs of a number of institutions. For assisting me with special access to Edwin Lord Weeks' paintings and related archival materials, in particular I would like to thank Mylinda Woodward of the University of New Hampshire Library, Lauren Silverson of the Portland Museum of Art, Flavie Durand-Ruel of Durand-Ruel & Cie, Peter Harrington and Robert Emlen of Brown University, and Christine Braun of the Art Gallery of Hamilton. I am fortunate to have undertaken my graduate studies at the University of Washington. The faculty has been most supportive, encouraging and informative. I would like especially to thank Professors Stuart Lingo and René Bravmann for their reading of the manuscript and thoughtful comments. My most profound thanks and gratitude go to my dissertation advisor, Professor Susan Casteras, whose scholarship, depth of knowledge, compassion and reliable wit remain a constant inspiration. I must also thank Professor Emerita Anna Kartsonis and Professor Emerita Rosemary VanArsdel for sound advice, scholarly insights and stimulating conversation. Of course, any omissions or errors in the dissertation are my sole responsibility. i Dedication To Jenny, for her tolerance, patience and encouragement. To my sons, for trying to be still and then racing uncontrollably around the house, for trying to be quiet and then bursting into fits of giggles, for thousands of interruptions to tie a shoe, kick a ball, make a snack, bandage a finger, find a sock, read a book.

  • Wilson Brought out a New Edition of Mill's History of British India, in Which He Footnoted What He Thought to Be Mill's Errors
    HORACE HAYMAN WILSON AND GAMESMANSHIP IN INDOLOGY NATALIE P. R. SIRKIN SHORTLY AFTER THE DEATH OF JAMES MILL) HORACE HAYMAN Wilson brought out a new edition of Mill's History of British India, In which he footnoted what he thought to be Mill's errors. Review­ ing these events in a recent survey of nineteenth-century Indian historians, Professor C. H. Philips comments: It is incredible that he should not have chosen to write a new history altogether, but possibly his training as a Sanskritist, which had accustomed him to the method of interpreting a text in this way, had something to do with his choice.' But why? Professor Philips might as well have asked why he did not write his own books on Hindoo law and on Muslim law instead of bringing out a new edition of Macnaghten; or why he did not collect his own proverbs, instead of editing the Hindoostanee and Persian proverbs of Captain Roebuck and Dr. Hunter; or why he did not write his own book on travels in the Himalayas, instead of editing Moorcroft's; or why he did not write his own book on Sankhya philosophy, instead of editing H. T. Colebrooke's : or why he hid not write his own book 011 archaeology in Afghanistan, instead of using Masson's materials.. To suggest Mr. Wilson might have written his OWll History of British India is to suggest that' he was a scholar and that he was interested in the subject. As to the latter, he never wrote again on the subject. As to the former, his education had not prepared him for it, Educated (as the Dictionary of National Biography reports) "in Soho Square," he then .apprenticed himself in a London .hos­ pital and proceeded to Calcutta as a surgeon for the East India Company.

    Founders of Western Indology: August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Henry Thomas Colebrooke in correspondence 1820–1837. By Rosane Rocher & Ludo Rocher. (= Abhandlungen für die Kunde des Morgenlandes, 84.) Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2013, xv + 205 pp. ISBN 978-3-447-06878-9. €48 (PB). Reviewed by Leonid Kulikov (Universiteit Gent) The present volume contains more than fifty letters written by two great scholars active in the first decades of western Indology, the German philologist and linguist August Wilhelm von Schlegel (1767–1789) and the British Indologist Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1765–1837). It can be considered, in a sense, as a sequel (or, rather, as an epistolary appendix) to the monograph dedicated to H. T. Colebrooke that was published by the editors one year before (Rocher & Rocher 2012). The value of this epistolary heritage left by the two great scholars for the his- tory of humanities is made clear by the editors, who explain in their Introduction (p. 1): The ways in which these two men, dissimilar in personal circumstances and pro- fessions, temperament and education, as well as in focus and goals, consulted with one another illuminate the conditions and challenges that presided over the founding of western Indology as a scholarly discipline and as a part of a program of education. The book opens with a short Preface that delineates the aim of this publica- tion and provides necessary information about the archival sources. An extensive Introduction (1–21) offers short biographies of the two scholars, focusing, in particular, on the rise of their interest in classical Indian studies. The authors show that, quite amazingly, in spite of their very different biographical and educational backgrounds (Colebrooke never attended school and universi- ty in Europe, learning Sanskrit from traditional Indian scholars, while Schlegel obtained classical university education), both of them shared an inexhaustible interest in classical India, which arose, for both of them, due to quite fortuitous circumstances.

Typically, they contained an assortment of topics revolving around archaeological monuments from Upper Egypt, the pyramids and panoramic views of Cairo such as the Citadel, in addition to façades and courtyards of Islamic monuments, mainly the mosques of Sultan Hasan and Ibn Tulun.

  • Metuchen the Brainy Borough
    METUCHEN THE BRAINY BOROUGH Compiled by the Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee Metuchen The Brainy Borough Compiled by the Metuchen historic preservation committee The Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee was formed in January 2008 to advise the Mayor and Council on steps to strengthen Metuchen’s commitment to historic preservation. The Committee’s goals are to develop public education on the benefits of historic preservation, honor Metuchen’s historic resources by increasing the number of structures in town listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, and explore the development of a Metuchen Historic Preservation Ordinance to formally recognize and protect the town’s distinctive historic and architectural character. The Historic Preservation Committee Suzanne Andrews Lori Chambers Michele Clancy Richard Miller Tyreen Reuter, Chair Rebeccah Seely Richard Weber Nancy Zerbe Jay Muldoon, Council Liaison June, 2015. All Rights Reserved. Metuchen, New Jersey. Introduction For several years, the Metuchen Historic Preservation Committee — with the assistance of grants from the Middlesex County Cultural and Heritage Commission — has studied Metuchen’s history and historic neighborhoods to evaluate the potential for one or more historic districts. These studies have resulted in additional historical information, especially related to one important theme: Metuchen’s reputation as “the Brainy Borough.” Local historians were aware of the 1914-1915 newspaper “battle” between Metuchen and Glen Ridge as to which town deserved the title; however, there were no extant copies of the Metuchen Recorder newspaper that over the extended period of the battle carried each town’s submissions of prominent residents who would warrant their hometown being considered “brainy.” The Committee’s recent studies have not only added to the general knowledge of the battle; they resulted in a significant research find: much of Metuchen’s reporting on the subject was also reprinted in Bloomfield’s Independent Press,* available at the Bloomfield Public Library.

  • Spires and Cathedrals Artistic and Poetic Renderings of Yosemite’S Divine Features
    Religion and the Arts 22 (2018) 95–113 RELIGION and the ARTS brill.com/rart Spires and Cathedrals Artistic and Poetic Renderings of Yosemite’s Divine Features Gregg Heitschmidt Surry Community College Abstract In the latter half of the nineteenth century, especially between 1859 and 1872, Union officers and enlisted men, scientists and explorers, artists and writers traveled west- ward. Surveyors appraised and mapped; expeditionary members explored and then wrote, hoping to convey the wonders they had witnessed. The western wilderness was an enormous expanse, one that as easily represented commercial possibilities as it did a new ideal. Nevertheless, the western wilderness also mesmerized and inspired, pro- voking a type of awe and wonderment in its languorous canyons, exploding fumaroles, bubbling hot springs, and soaring granite spires. From the Rockies to the Sawtooths, from the Cascades to the Tetons, the mountains of the American West mystified and hypnotized those who saw them. The Sierra Nevadas, in particular, became the locus for artists and writers. Their paintings and publications, in turn, inspired entire groups to travel to the Yosemite Valley in order to ponder the sublime beauties of Nature found there. Through the paintings and sketches of Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran, and through the meticulous journal entries and travel narratives of Clarence King and John Muir—whose work as a Naturalist eventually helped establish the Valley as a National Park—Yosemite captured the imagination of the American people, as its spires,
