Wlyt OIammaufntaItly of ~a55atlyU5ttt5 MASSACHUSETTS ART COMMISSION STATE HOUSE - ROOM 10 BOSTON, MA 02133 (617) 727-2ffJ7 A~lene E. Friedberg Chainnan Bonita A. Flood ANNUAL REPORT Paula M. Kozol YEAR ENDING JUNE 30,1994 Peter L. Walsh Katherine B. Winter The Massachusetts Art Commission respectfully submits the Annual Report for the year ending June 30, 1994. The Art Commission is charged under General Laws ch. 6, sections 19 and 20 with the "custody and care of the historic relics in the State House, and of all works of art." It is the tn responsibility of the Commission to see that this museum quality collection is professionally handled, ...... properly maintained, . and appropriately displayed. The Art Commission receives annual appropriations .... for its programs of conservation and preservation of the State House art collection, while it remains a eo resource for research and consultation on art-related matters. OJ~r­ _ • .... 0- ART CONSERVATION PROGRAMS eo 01 A. Portraits and frames. ::c~ Twelve portraits, including some of the oldest in the collection, and their frames, were slated to receive g 0 treatment this year. Four painting and three frame conservators were contracted to treat the portraits, ~ with most of the work taking place February - June, 1994. In addition to the portraits listed below, the ~ 17th-century image of Reverend John Wheelwright. and several 19th-century portraits, including those .... of Governors Alexander Bullock, Alexander Rice, John D. Long, and Lt. Governor Henry Childs were treated. The carved wooden and plaster composition frames were also stabilized, rebuilt or repaired, and regilded where necessary. Gift of Robert B. Severy. The Art Commission was honored to accept a generous donation from Robert Bayard Severy, of Weymouth, toward the treatment of the following paintings: Governor John Winthrop, in honor of his mother, Josephine McClintock Bellamy Severy. Governor Edward Winslow, in honor of his bother, Donald Phelps Severy. Governor Josiah Winslow, in honor of his sister-in-law, Mai Josephine Bermingham Severy. President Abraham Lincoln, in honor of his sister, Arabella McClintock Severy Olander. Governor John Endecott, in honor of Jessie Sargent, Doric Dame. Governor Henry Vane, (one-half treatment cost), in honor of Margaret Wright Haverty, Doric Dame. Governor Richard Bellingham, in honor of Martha Richardson, former State House Flag Project Coordinator. Mr. Severy's gift follows his sponsorship of the treatment of Governor John A. Andrew in memory of his father during FY'93. His overall contribution of $6,225 toward the Art Commission's programs was acknowledged during formal ceremonies June 10, 1994 in the Governor's Council Chamber during which Lt. Governor A. Paul Cellucci presented a Governor's Citation to Mr. Severy in recognition of his generosity. On behalf of the Commonwealth we are most grateful to Mr. Severy for his continued support of the painting conservation program. We hope that his gift will inspire other admirers of the collection to contribute toward its preservation. MR 702M3 M4 1 1994 c .1 fltr<- 702fV\3 Ml{' 19Q'1 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS ART COMMISSION c: \ YEAR ENDING JUNE 30,1994 Page 2 Protective measures. Over $150,000 has been spent in the care of just over half of the 117 portraits at the State House over the past seven years. (Please refer to the Appendix for a complete schedule of work.) As a additional safeguard, several of the older portraits were reframed under plexi-glass this year. We are of the hope that the slight disturbance this glazing might cause the viewer will be offset by an understanding of their irreplaceable nature and our further efforts toward long-term preservation. B. Nurses Hall murals Conditions noted. In January 1994 the Art Commission awarded the long-awaited contract for the conservation of the wall murals in Nurses Hall (painted by Robert Reid 1901-1904), to the Williamstown Regional Art Conservation Laboratory, of Williamstown, Mass. During treatment, the project manager uncovered conditions which he believed might preclude successful cleaning these historic panels: solvent tests revealed glazes which were soluble in the agents necessary to remove the varnish coating. He concluded that the paintings could not be safely cleaned of the heavy, discolored varnish layer without damaging these thin washes of original paint. Code of Ethics. American conservation ethics strictly mandate that the choice of materials and treatment procedures be guided by respect for the originality and integrity of any work of art. For the safety of the mural, the Art Commission adopted the most conservative approach for treatment and agreed to halt treatment after the grime removal phase. Analysis. The Art Commission, however, recognizes the inappropriate appearance of the murals in their current state. Heavy, discolored varnish distorts the true colors of the murals, and severely impairs the effect of Reid's vivid brush work and powdery impressionistic palette. Contemporary descriptions of the murals paint a vivid image of the mid-winter and night-time scenes not evident today. Other conservation conditions were also identified which the Art Commission believes should be investigated. Further study planned. Seeking to understand artistic intent, original execution patterns, subsequent restoration activity, and hoping to identify alternative courses of action, further investigation by the Art Commission was planned. Conservators and art historians from around the country were scheduled to examine the murals at the end of June while the scaffolding was still in place. We were forced to cancel these contracts upon receiving instructions to dismantle the staging. The Art Commission, however, remains committed to further study of these murals in the hope that they may eventually be brought back to their original splendor. Reassembly of the staging for consultation activities is planned for the coming year. C. Exterior sculpture maintenance Annual maintenance was conducted by professional sculpture conservators on seven exterior bronze monuments in October 1993. Each statue was inspected for damage to the metal surface and patina, cleaned, the acrylic "Incralac" coating repaired as necessary, and the entire bronze rewaxed in order to protect it from the elements during the coming year. Routine maintenance procedures such as these will prevent the recurrence of the corrosion process which causes irreparable damage and disfigurement to bronze monuments in an exterior environment, and save many thousands of dollars in repeat conservation efforts. The John F. Kennedy Memorial, for example, has been maintained annually since its installation in 1990, and appears today in nearly original condition. Annual preventive maintenance will help to preserve this statue for many years to come. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS ART COMMISSION YEAR ENDING JUNE 30,1994 Page 3 Vandalism. The Kennedy Memorial was, however, temporarily disfigured in June when vandals spray­ painted the front of the monument. Emergency removal of the paint and reformation of the coating was conducted by the Harvard University Center for Conservation in order to prevent any permanent damage to the patina. Proper attention to vandalism and other ill affects plays an necessary role in the preservation of public monuments. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES A. Review of proposed acquisitions No new objects were accessioned into the collection during the fiscal year. The Art Commission did, however, review proposals and specifications for several new memorials slated for installation during the coming year. B. Research assistance and public information The Art Commission office remains a resource for both in-house and non-governmental inquiries. The Art Collections Manager addressed over 80 inquiries relating to the State House collection and local art (including research in historical, art historical and conservation fields), and requests for photographic reproductions of objects in the collection. Images from the collection appeared this year in such publications as The History of the Constitution, an exhibition for Black History Month, and documentaries on the 26th Yankee Division, and the Women's Suffrage Movement. As building visitation increases, education in the history and care of the collection proves to be as important as ever. Instruction and reminders for the proper treatment of and conduct around works of art are transmitted to scheduling, security, maintenance and other building personnel by such means as formal guidelines for care, memoranda, the Bureau of State Office Buildings' "Newsletter," and talks to summer tour guides. C. Staff There have been no changes of members on the Art Commission over the past year. Susan Greendyke Lachevre continues to serve as Art Collections Manager, having concluded her tenth annual contract. Based upon the demonstrated need for an on-site caretaker of the collection, the Art Commission continues to lobby for the establishment of a permanent position. All Art Commission members find it very rewarding to serve the Commonwealth in this capacity. Respectfully submitted, ~~ Chairman 6~L - vuk.l·~ lL'~~r A~1k~ Portrait of Lt.

JUSTICE WILLIAM CUSHING AND THE TREATY-MAKING POWER F. WILLIAM O'BRIEN, S.J.* Washington's First Appointees Although the work of the Supreme Court during the first few years was not great if measured in the number of cases handled, it would be a mistake to conclude that the six men who sat on the Bench during this formative period made no significant contribution to the develop- ment of American constitutional law. The Justices had few if any precedents to use as guides, and therefore their judicial work, limited though it was in volume, must be considered as stamped with the significance which attaches to all pioneer activity. Moreover, most of this work was done while on circuit duty in the different districts, and therefore from Vermont to Georgia the Supreme Court Justices were emissaries of good will for the new Constitution and the recently established general government.
  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution

    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution

    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett

    Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett

    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

    AMERICAN MANHOOD in the CIVIL WAR ERA a Dissertation Submitted

    UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael E. DeGruccio _________________________________ Gail Bederman, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana July 2007 UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA Abstract by Michael E. DeGruccio This dissertation is ultimately a story about men trying to tell stories about themselves. The central character driving the narrative is a relatively obscure officer, George W. Cole, who gained modest fame in central New York for leading a regiment of black soldiers under the controversial General Benjamin Butler, and, later, for killing his attorney after returning home from the war. By weaving Cole into overlapping micro-narratives about violence between white officers and black troops, hidden war injuries, the personal struggles of fellow officers, the unbounded ambition of his highest commander, Benjamin Butler, and the melancholy life of his wife Mary Barto Cole, this dissertation fleshes out the essence of the emergent myth of self-made manhood and its relationship to the war era. It also provides connective tissue between the top-down war histories of generals and epic battles and the many social histories about the “common soldier” that have been written consciously to push the historiography away from military brass and Lincoln’s administration. Throughout this dissertation, mediating figures like Cole and those who surrounded him—all of lesser ranks like major, colonel, sergeant, or captain—hem together what has previously seemed like the disconnected experiences of the Union military leaders, and lowly privates in the field, especially African American troops.
