It is doubtful indeed, whether an adequate account of his career will ever be possible, because his activities on behalf of suffering humanity were so extraordinarily varied, and the details of them have been forgotten even by himself. All that has been intended in the writing of these pages has been the paying of an offering of friendship, to one who has caused many of us to believe, by the quality of his friendship, in the reality of the indwelling Spirit of Christ, as a personal force which may transform humanity into the mirror of Christ.

  • The Necessity of Rodin by Eric Gibson
    Features December 2017 The necessity of Rodin by Eric Gibson On four exhibitions across the world that commemorate the centennial of Auguste Rodin’s death. The idea was too tempting to resist: see as many of the displays commemorating the one-hundredth anniversary of Auguste Rodin’s death (born in 1840, he died in 1917) as possible, in an effort to take, once and for all, the measure of this artist and to come to terms with the paradox of his legacy. Though widely recognized as “the father of modern sculpture,” Rodin was repudiated by those who came after, most famously by Constantin Brancusi. No single exhibition has ever seemed equal to the task of capturing the essence of this artist. Perhaps, I thought, an approach as various and discontinuous as Rodin’s art itself, one that took in multiple exhibitions, would do the trick. The checklists would overlap, but the individual emphases would vary, producing a kaleidoscopic image of the artist through whose multiple facets and fragments might emerge a clearer picture than that provided by a unitary, more tightly circumscribed effort. But which exhibitions? There are eight in the No single exhibition has ever United States, one in France, and one in Mexico, as well as six permanent collection seemed equal to the task of installations in America. I eliminated any that capturing the essence of Rodin. didn’t focus exclusively on Rodin, and those featuring large numbers of the posthumous bronze casts that have so distorted our perception of the artist. That left four shows: Paris, New York, Philadelphia, and Cleveland.

  • Decorative Painting and Politics in France, 1890-1914
    Decorative Painting and Politics in France, 1890-1914 by Katherine D. Brion A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Howard Lay, Chair Professor Joshua Cole Professor Michèle Hannoosh Professor Susan Siegfried © Katherine D. Brion 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I will begin by thanking Howard Lay, who was instrumental in shaping the direction and final form of this dissertation. His unbroken calm and good-humor, even in the face of my tendency to take up new ideas and projects before finishing with the old, was of huge benefit to me, especially in the final stages—as were his careful and generous (re)readings of the text. Susan Siegfried and Michèle Hannoosh were also early mentors, first offering inspiring coursework and then, as committee members, advice and comments at key stages. Their feedback was such that I always wished I had solicited more, along with Michèle’s tea. Josh Cole’s seminar gave me a window not only into nineteenth-century France but also into the practice of history, and his kind yet rigorous comments on the dissertation are a model I hope to emulate. Betsy Sears has also been an important source of advice and encouragement. The research and writing of this dissertation was funded by fellowships and grants from the Georges Lurcy Foundation, the Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan, the Mellon Foundation, and the Getty Research Institute, as well as a Susan Lipschutz Award. My research was also made possible by the staffs at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Institut nationale d’Histoire de l’Art, the Getty Research Library, the Musée des arts décoratifs/Musée de la Publicité, and the Musée Maurice Denis, ii among other institutions.

  • Jules Mastbaum’S Gift to the City of Philadelphia
    Contact: Norman Keyes, Jr., Director of Media Relations Frank Luzi, Press Officer (215) 684-7864 [email protected] JULES MASTBAUM’S GIFT TO THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia was the first city in the United States to exhibit works by Auguste Rodin. In 1876, the French artist sent eight of his early sculptures to the Centennial Exposition in Fairmount Park, the event commemorating one hundred years of American independence and which led to the founding of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. His work was awarded no medals and the press made no mention of the young sculptor, leaving Rodin disappointed by his American debut. He had no idea the city would one day house one of the greatest single collections of his work outside of Paris. The Rodin Museum and its vast collection are in Philadelphia thanks to one of the city’s great philanthropists, Jules Mastbaum (1872-1926). A product of Philadelphia public schools and a graduate of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, Mastbaum began building his fortune in real estate. By the late 1890s he turned his attention to the emerging motion picture industry, opening his first movie theater in 1905 at the southeast corner of Eighth and Market streets. By 1920, the Stanley Company of America---named for Mastbaum’s brother who died in 1918---was the largest operator of movie theaters in the United States. Mastbaum embraced his role as a “movie mogul,” becoming well known in the sports world as a breeder of thoroughbred dogs and indulging his appetites while traveling the world in grand style.
