  • Signature Drawings:’ Social Networks and Collecting Practices in Antebellum Albums
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ‘SIGNATURE DRAWINGS:’ SOCIAL NETWORKS AND COLLECTING PRACTICES IN ANTEBELLUM ALBUMS Joy Peterson Heyrman, Ph.D., 2008 Directed By: Professor Sally M. Promey, Department of Art History and Archaeology Characterized in their own time as “miniature and easily-attainable works of art,” drawings by American artists of the antebellum period were prized by fellow artists as mementi of friendship and by collectors as marks of the artist’s hand. This dissertation presents a broad examination of the social meanings and contemporary contexts of these quietly communicative works of art. Using archival and documentary evidence, it investigates rich spheres of activity in the “social lives” of drawings. Special qualities of the medium and particularities of drawings exchange informed their reception. In the public sphere of business and social transaction between artists and patrons, drawings functioned as “social currency,” building a community connected through gift-giving and competitive collecting. Albums of drawings reflected social networks and communicated the owner’s privileged access to artists who practiced that particularly intimate form of expression. Drawings were also displayed in the antebellum parlor, a private setting encoded with aspiration to personal refinement and social position. In that sphere, drawings served a didactic, regulatory function, presenting sentimental and moral themes that provided a visual buffer to the turbulent public history of the time. My study reveals that many of the drawings collected in antebellum albums were originals for images subsequently reproduced as giftbook illustrations or prints. This dissertation demonstrates that antebellum viewers perceived drawing and writing as aligned, complimentary modes of expression; similar motivations thus informed the collecting of drawings and autographs.

  • Guidelines for Preparation of Master's Thesis in Art History
    Cultivating Taste: Henry G. Marquand’s Public and Private Contributions to Advancing Art in Gilded Age New York by Adrianna M. Del Collo Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Art History), Hunter College, The City University of New York 2011 Thesis Sponsor: ___________________ ________________________________ Date Lynda Klich ___________________ ________________________________ Date Kevin Avery © Adrianna M. Del Collo, 2011 All rights reserved For Kwabena Slaughter with Eternal Love ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I must begin by acknowledging the subject of my thesis, Henry G. Marquand, whose character I have come to deeply admire through my research. One evening, after a day spent pouring over his letters in archives of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I saw a vision of the museum’s austere former president gliding through the halls. The reality of Marquand as a living, breathing figure suddenly occurred to me with palpable clarity. He had occupied this same building more than one hundred years ago, worrying over the future of the fledgling museum. I hope my account of his work has done him justice. I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and encouragement of my thesis advisor, Lynda Klich, and second reader, Kevin Avery. Rebecca Grunberger, my colleague at the Metropolitan, fellow Hunter student, and now close friend, has been a generous and insightful editor of my work throughout this degree. I extend my sincere thanks to Marcie Karp and the Metropolitan’s Grants Committee for the substantial tuition assistance they have provided. I owe a debt of appreciation to my colleagues at the Metropolitan in the Museum Archives, General Counsel’s Office, and Watson Library, and the staff of Princeton University’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library.

In 2016, we published 8 articles regarding different topics in this field: from Gauguin to Mary Cassatt, from Brueghel to Ruscha, from Monet to John Singer Sargent… and the reader will say if these articles and their content are pondered, comfortable and friendly.

Waanders, Zwolle 2000 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012200001_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 7 Director's foreword The opening of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris in 1986 rekindled a long-running debate here in the Netherlands about the desirability of founding an equivalent Dutch museum for the 19th century. Various arguments for and against were aired in the press and in scholarly journals. The level of interest was such that in 1989 the University of Amsterdam organised a symposium entitled ‘The Dutch museum of the 19th century: utopian dream or reality?’ There was discussion about the exact period the new museum might cover, and whether or not it should be confined to the fine arts or should include the decorative arts and architecture as well. Different sites were proposed - in The Hague and in Amsterdam - and it was suggested that the collections of various museums, including the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk and the Museum Mesdag, could be pooled to create this new institution. These discussions were not just fuelled by intellectual curiosity. There were real practical concerns about the inadequate display of 19th-century art in the Netherlands. At the time this period was not a priority for either of the two main art museums in Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk, although both could boast important holdings in the area. Many works were said to be hidden in the depots, and there was certainly no clear logic to the distribution and display of the works of art from this period.
