It seems fitting that I would develop a dissertation topic on suntanning in sunny Santa Barbara, where students literally live at the beach. While at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), I have had the fortunate experience of learning from and working with several remarkable individuals. First and foremost, my advisor Bruce Robertson has been a model for successfully pursuing both academic and curatorial endeavors, and his encyclopedic knowledge has always steered me in the right direction.

In our globalized era, it is tempting to imagine that urban experiences have a quality of sameness: skyscrapers, subways and chain stores; a density of bricks and humanity; a sense of urgency and striving. The essays in Mthis collection make clear how wrong that assumption would be: from the dreamland of Jonathan Kellerman’s Los Angeles to the vibrant awakening of Edna Buchanan’s Miami; from the mid-century tenements of Pete Hamill’s beloved Brooklyn to the haunted viaducts of Stuart Dybek’s Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago; from the natural beauty and human diversity of Charles Johnson’s Seattle to the past and present myths of Richard Ford’s New Orleans, these reminiscences and musings conjure for us the richness and strangeness of any individual’s urban life, the way that our Claire Messud is the author of three imaginations and identities and literary histories are intertwined in a novels and a book of novellas.

    ISSN: 2471-6839 Grand Illusions: American Art and the First World War David Lubin New York: Oxford University Press, 2016 384 pp.; 149 color illus. (ISBN: 9780190218614) Hardcover: $39.95 Reviewed by: Jennifer Wingate, Associate Professor, Fine Arts, St. Francis College, [email protected] Art historians, or at least historians of American art, can no longer claim, as Milton Brown did in 1955, that "the total effect of the [First World] war on American art was not great."1 The last twenty-five years have seen a resurgence of politicized and socially engaged art at the same time that the discipline of art history has expanded to consider a wider field of visual culture. Those converging developments invite current scholarship to resituate American art of a century ago in its political context and to examine overlooked connections between cultural expression and the First World War. David Lubin, in Grand Illusions: American Art and the First World War, represents an important addition to the growing field of World War I scholarship, and is the first to exclusively focus on the impact of the war on American artists. Together with his 2008 Franklin D. Murphy lectures at the University of Kansas, published in 2015 as Flags and Faces: The Visual Jennifer Wingate. “Review of Grand Illusions: American Art and the First World War.” Panorama: Journal of the Association of Historians of American Art 3 no. 1 (Summer, 2017). https://doi.org/10.24926/24716839.1594. Culture of America’s First World War, and the 2016 exhibition, World War I and American Art, that Lubin, along with Robert Cozzolino and Anne Classen Knutsen, cocurated for the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Grand Illusions offers an eye-opening reconsideration of this understudied topic.

Canadian Magazine Illustrators at Home and in the United States, 1880-1960 by Shannon Jaleen Grove Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Criticism Stony Brook University 2014 This dissertation analyzes nationalisms in the work of Canadian magazine illustrators in Toronto and New York, 1880 to 1960. Using a continentalist approach—rather than the nationalist lens often employed by historians of Canadian art—I show the existence of an integrated, joint North American visual culture. Drawing from primary sources and biography, I document the social, political, corporate, and communication networks that illustrators traded in. I focus on two common visual tropes of the day—that of the pretty girl and that of wilderness imagery.

  • Chicago Writer to Give Visual Presentation on Quincy-Born Algonquin Round Table Member & Artist Neysa Mcmein
    Chicago Writer to Give Visual Presentation on Quincy-Born Algonquin Round Table Member & Artist Neysa McMein Chicago writer and poet Cynthia Gallaher will debut her nonfiction book, “Frugal Poets’ Guide to Life: How to Live a Poetic Life, Even If You Aren’t a Poet” at Quincy Art Center, Quincy, Illinois, on Saturday, June 17 at 2 p.m. During this free event, she’ll give a talk and visual presentation on her Quincy-born relative, artist Neysa McMein. Neysa McMein, born in Quincy in 1888, left Quincy after high school to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago before heading east, where she created hundreds of magazine covers, developed the first iconic image of Betty Crocker, and became a member of the famous Algonquin Round Table in New York City, which included writer Dorothy Parker and comic Harpo Marx. McMein’s ancestral relative, Cynthia Gallaher, who holds a degree in art history, helped curate a Neysa McMein art retrospective at Quincy Art Center in 2004 and now returns to the art center to revisit McMein’s work in her PowerPoint visual presentation as well as spotlight McMein’s appearance in “Frugal Poets’ Guide to Life.” "Frugal Poets' Guide to Life" is part memoir, part life-coaching for poets (or those who’d like to live like one) and part creativity guide. “Frugal Poets’ Guide to Life” is a book to nurture any creative person, whether he or she is a #musician, #composer, #dancer, #artist, #fiction, #nonfiction or #drama #writer, or a #poet. This event is part of Frugal Poets' Guide to Life 2017 10-city book tour, partially supported by an Individual Artists Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events, as well as a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, a state agency through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Feeling rejected, she sought his approval, initially by writing him a letter as she sailed with her mother and brothers the next year on the Montserrat from Barcelona to New York City. The letter constitutes the beginning of the diary that she wrote for most of the rest of her life and that, when published beginning in the mid-1960s, established her as a writer of significance. Bookish and dedicated to writing from an early age, Nin withdrew from school at sixteen, vii viii ¿ LADDERS TO FIRE with her mother’s permission, because she thought it too mundane. Her only additional formal education occurred in 1921, when she took two classes at Columbia University. The next year she worked as a model, posing for a painting by Neysa McMein that was used on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post (8 July 1922) and for sketches by Charles Dana Gibson that were published in a Cuban newspaper. She wed banker Hugh Guiler in 1923. The marriage en- dured, despite their tepid physical relationship and her involvement with many men.
