  • Vintage Posters
    IN OUR TIME So far 2013 has been an exciting year at Swann. In January, a sale of illustration art and illustrated books established what will be a new department for us, while our reinstated Old Master Drawings auction drew crowds and much interest for a newly discovered J.M.W. Turner watercolor. February saw our best winter Vintage Posters auction ever, setting records for images by Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha, and love was in the air at our Valentine’s Day auction of African-American Fine Art, where paintings by Barkley L. Hendricks and Hughie Lee-Smith, as well as a sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett, achieved top-dollar results. We wrapped up the month with Fine Photographs, featuring early Asian travel albums and avant-garde modernist images, followed by scarce Early Printed Books. American and European artists divided the top lots at our March 7 Prints & Drawings auction, and the word of the day at our Writing Instruments sale was Montblanc, Montblanc, Montblanc. Looking ahead, May is a busy month full of intriguing offerings, including graphic design and typography from the inventory of the late Irving Oaklander, noted bookseller, followed by more scintillating design, typography and graphic art in our sale of modernist posters. Our Contemporary Art sale coincides with Frieze week in New York, and the month concludes with a diverse auction of Autographs. In early June a sale of Maps & Atlases offers rare items of American interest, and mid-month American Art features paintings and drawings by artists including Milton Avery, Robert Gwathmey and John Singer Sargent.

  • 'They Made Gullah': Modernist Primitivists and The
    “ ‘They Made Gullah’: Modernist Primitivists and the Discovery and Creation of Sapelo Island, Georgia’s Gullah Community, 1915-1991” By Melissa L. Cooper A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Dr. Mia Bay and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2012 2012 Melissa L. Cooper ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “ ‘They Made Gullah’: Modernist Primitivists and the Discovery and Creation of Sapelo Island, Georgia’s Gullah Community, 1915-1991” by Melissa L. Cooper Dissertation Director: Dr. Mia Bay ABSTRACT: The history of Sapelo Islanders in published works reveals a complex cast of characters, each one working through ideas about racial distinction and inheritance; African culture and spirituality; and the legacy of slavery during the most turbulent years in America’s race-making history. Feuding social scientists, adventure seeking journalists, amateur folklorists, and other writers, initiated and shaped the perception of Sapelo Islanders’ distinct connection to Africa during the 1920s and 1930s, and labeled them “Gullah.” These researchers characterized the “Gullah,” as being uniquely connected to their African past, and as a population among whom African “survivals” were readily observable. This dissertation argues that the popular view of Sapelo Islanders’ “uniqueness” was the product of changing formulations about race and racial distinction in America. Consequently, the “discovery” of Sapelo Island’s Gullah folk was more a sign of times than an anthropological discovery. This dissertation interrogates the intellectual motives of the researchers and writers who have explored Sapelo Islanders in their works, and argues that the advent of American Modernism, the development of new social scientific theories and popular cultural works during the 1920s and 1930s, and other trends shaped their depictions.
