  • P-Spring 04 ALL For
    PROFILESmithsonian National Portrait Gallery News Spring 2004 From the DIRECTOR For the most part, we devote each issue of Profile to a particular theme. But every now and then we give our lively quarterly magazine over to the many topics that describe our activities and collections without imposing thematic unity. And although this is just that sort of issue, I find that when I look at the collection of articles and reviews, something like a theme emerges. Not surprisingly, in a museum devoted to the story of Americans, that underlying theme is freedom. In fact, one way to describe American life is as an ongoing conversation, sometimes debate, about freedom. A central element of that debate, of course, has been the situation of African Americans. We have chosen to remember that great national concern in this issue by offering our account of the landmark Brown v. the Board of Education decision by the United States Supreme Court, in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of that decision on May 17. There is a bit of irony in this issue’s serendipity in that we also include a review of a recent publication on Jefferson Davis. Davis felt deeply that his struggle for states’ rights was in the end a struggle for freedom, but lived with the contradiction that one of the key rights that the Confederacy was struggling to secure was the right to maintain slavery. He was not alone in that dilemma, because the Constitution itself had allowed for the different treatment of African Americans. The struggle to guarantee freedom for all Americans has become in our time a core commitment of the America we believe in.

  • Ralph Barton Collection Scope and Content Note
    Special Collections 401 Ellis Library Columbia, MO 65201 & Rare Books (573) 882-0076 [email protected] University of Missouri Libraries http://library.missouri.edu/specialcollections/ Ralph Barton Collection Scope and Content Note Caricature drawings of artist Ralph Barton, containing copies of work he did for newspapers, various theater and entertainment magazines and periodicals, such as Puck, The New Yorker, Collier’s, Photoplay, Vanity Fair, Judge, and Harper’s Bazaar. Also, his illustrations in one of the most popular books of the 1920s, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The work covers c.1908 to the 1930s. With some reproductions in articles, 1981, 1983,1986. Provenance The donor of this collection is unknown. The date of accession is also unknown. Biographical/Descriptive Note Ralph Emerson Barton was born on August 14, 1891, in Kansas City, Missouri. He was the youngest of four children born to Abraham Pool and Catherine Josephine (Wigginton) Barton. His mother was an accomplished portrait painter and ran an art studio. The young Barton showed his mother’s aptitude for art, and by the time he was in his mid-teens he had already seen several of his cartoons and illustrations published in the Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Journal-Post. In 1908 Barton dropped out of Kansas City’s Westport High School before graduating. He moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1909 to attend the Art Institute of Chicago, but returned to Kansas City within a few months. While back in Kansas City, Barton resumed his work for the Star and Journal-Post. His first national exposure came in 1912 when Barton sold an illustration to the humor magazine Puck.

  • Mining the Dream Factory: Thomas Hart Benton, American Artists, And
    104 105 Benton also told reporters that he hoped his painting might be displayed in “some large motion picture theater,” where moviegoers could scrutinize the “combination of machine and sex that Hollywood is.”3 Benton put a lot into this project, including sketching a series of sar- donic Hollywood Notes depicting industry activities, such as story confer- ences and movie premieres (figs. 2, 3) and writing a caustic essay titled “Hollywood Journey,” both intended for an exposé on “what goes on” in the Mining the movie industry.4 But the commission with Life fell through. Benton’s candid take on “the machinery of the industry” did not segue with how the movie in- dustry expected to be seen. Nor was it compatible with how popular maga- zines like Life, which depended on motion-picture advertising income, typically depicted the movies. And it certainly did not fit the glamorous and romantic Fig. 2. Thomas Hart Benton, Director’s image of Hollywood that the industry fostered and American audiences ex- Conference, 1937.

Abstract This research considers the contribution of visual culture to queer masculinity among white American men during a profound reorientation both in popular understandings and the practical conditions of eroticism between men. From about 1915 to 1955 a pragmatic libidinal economy centered on the theatrical effeminacy of “fairies” was displaced by one founded on the presumption of strongly delineated and relatively fixed hetero- and homo- sexual identities. Although medical discourses about queerness had been developing since the middle of the Nineteenth Century in Europe, what Americans of the opening decades of the twentieth century knew about queerness they learned unsystematically from hearsay, the observation of local people and practices, and visual culture.
