  • Copyright 2014 Adam M. Thomas
    Copyright 2014 Adam M. Thomas THE SPECTRAL IMAGINATION: AMERICAN ART BETWEEN SCIENCE AND SUPERSTITION IN THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY BY ADAM M. THOMAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jennifer A. Greenhill, Chair Associate Professor Terri Weissman Associate Professor David O’Brien Associate Professor Cara A. Finnegan ABSTRACT This dissertation explores how tensions between science and superstition were embedded in and constitutive of the visual arts in late nineteenth-century America. By focusing on the work of artists Henry Alexander (1860–94), William Merritt Chase (1849–1916), Edwin Romanzo Elmer (1850–1923), and Irving Ramsay Wiles (1861–1948), this project examines the interplay of these ostensibly opposing worldviews in painting. It traces how the interdependence of these terms—which were very much in flux during the era— provided a creative paradigm for negotiating the professionalization of science, the emergent discipline of psychology, new theories of perception and memory, as well as scientific and spiritual efforts to unlock material, psychic, and supernatural worlds broadly. This dissertation reassesses distinctions between so-called realistic and visionary idioms in American art and offers a revised conception of the intersections between art and science in this period. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people have contributed to my work on this dissertation. I am exceptionally grateful to my advisor Jennifer Greenhill for her enthusiasm about this topic since its inception and for her incisive comments at every stage of the process.

  • Detlef Sammann
    609 DETLEF SAMMANN (1857-1938) was born on February 28th in Westerhever-Eiderstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and at the age of fifteen began a four-year apprenticeship with a local painter of interior decoration. Thereafter he traveled for three years in the Dresden area and worked under the court artist Lankau, a renowned muralist. In August of 1881 Sammann arrived in New York City aboard the S.S. Australia and worked for a year as a decorator before returning home.1 He had earned enough money to pay for a course of instruction under Wilhelm Georges Ritter at the Dresden School of Industrial Art.2 Two of his portraits, which were stylistically influenced by Rembrandt, were hung in the municipal museum in Vienna.3 On February 9, 1884 he married Anna Maria Bianka Schmidt, an Austrian native and a resident of Dresden. He returned to New York City with his wife and opened a studio where he created for the leading interior decorators elaborate designs with flowers. Their daughter, Katherine (Katie) Bertha Sammann, was born on September 10, 1884. He became a naturalized citizen of the United States on July 19, 1889 in Jersey City, New Jersey.4 His first American passport was granted October 4, 1889. At that time Sammann visited Dresden and studied tapestry painting in Paris. He returned to New York City in 1891 when he was elected a “manager” of the local Verein für Kunst und Wissenschaft, an organization of immigrant Germans who encouraged art and social reform.5 Later he became a co-founder of New York’s Albrecht Dürer Verein, a society that promoted industrial arts.6 He was also elected a member of the local Society of Art and Science.

  • 52 American Jewish Year Book
    52 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF JEWS PROMINENT IN THE PROFESSIONS, ETC., IN THE UNITED STATES The Biographical Sketches which follow are a second in- stalment of the series begun in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAE BOOK for 5664. The Sketches there published were of Rabbis and Cantors officially connected with congregations in the United States. On pp. 214-225, will be found additions to the list of last year, designed to keep it up to date. It is intended to complete the series of Biographical Sketches in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK for 5666, in which an attempt will be made to present the biographical data of the men and women who are doing the communal work for the Jews of the United States. The present instalment does not deal with so unified a set of personages as the first dealt with and as the third is de- signed to deal with. It aims to bring together the names and biographical data of the Jews in the United States who have won a place in the professions, in the arts, the sciences, in journalism, in business, in public life. Only one class of pro- fessional men and women have been excluded from the present instalment, namely, those who have trained themselves to preside over Jewish charitable institutions; the superin- tendents and directors of the charities, the superintendents of orphan asylums and kindred institutions, the probation officers, the social settlement workers, etc. Their vocation is so closely allied to the activities that will constitute the ground for inclusion in the next instalment of sketchea BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 53 that it seemed proper to associate them with the communal workers whose leaders and guides they are.

  • Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (Active Before 1945)
    Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (active before 1945) Compiled by Susan V. Craig, Art & Architecture Librarian Univ. of Kansas August 2006 1 This book began with a 1981 reference question about John Noble, a name I did not recognize despite having studied art history and worked as an art librarian for more than 10 years. Learning that John Noble was a Kansas artist, I went looking for the best available book on Kansas art only to learn the resources were few. As a new faculty member at the Univ. of Kansas, I needed to establish a research project so I decided to prepare a dictionary of Kansas artists thus fulfilling both the research requirement and educating myself about the history of the visual arts in my native state; I just didn't intend the project to take 25 years or realize that I would have more than 1750 entries in the dictionary. I began by defining the scope of the work: • "Kansas artist" was loosely defined as artists who were both born in the state as well as artists who were born elsewhere but were artistically active in Kansas. Under this latter definition, I included artists who produced significant artworks such as the murals installed in Kansas post offices. Occasionally, artists who lived or worked primarily in Kansas City, MO may be included. I did not deliberately include all Kansas City artists but neither did I exclude them if the name came from a Kansas source such as the Kansas State Gazetteer. • Another choice I made was to look for artists who were artistically active before 1945.

After two years at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, he left to become an artist. He studied at the Kensington Art School in London in 1872 and at the Royal Academy of Bavaria in Munich from 1880 to 1887. Then Adams formed an alliance with other Indiana Impressionist artists, called the Hoosier Group. Adams set up portrait studios in Seymour, then in Martinsville, and eventually in Muncie, where he and William Forsyth began a partnership in 1888. Adams also painted with T. C. Steele at Metamora, and was strongly infl uenced by William Merritt Chase’s paintings exhibited at the Indiana State Fair circa 1896.

It consists of a combination of letters and numbers, composed of the initial letter of the author's name followed by numbers that represent the succeeding letters of the same, so that additional entries can be inserted without disturbing the sequence of the letters or the numerals.
