This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

  • Creating the American West in Art the American West
    Creating the American West in Art The American West has long been a dynamic place of cultural exchange and artistic production, throughout thousands of years of precolonial Indigenous presence, the period of Spanish exploration and conquest in the mid-1600s, and modern times. When Euro-American artists first visited the region during the 1800s, they marveled at its ancient landscapes and myriad civilizations. Paintings and sculptures from the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the Denver Art Museum reveal this creative interest in the region during the United States’ westward expansion and into the mid- 20th century. Most of the artists represented here spent years studying in Europe—predominantly Italy, Germany, and France. They returned to the United States, however, determined to distinguish themselves through uniquely American subjects. Their combination of closely observed detail and creative license in the resulting works reveal an array of aesthetic approaches. Regardless of style, some depictions helped foster a Euro-American identity rooted in a pioneering spirit of adventure and opportunity, which ultimately led to a doctrine of manifest destiny and the myth of American exceptionalism. This exhibition encourages viewers to explore the nuances of a complex American West, including both its challenging history—especially regarding the involuntary displacement of Native Americans—and its vibrant and diverse natural beauty. The Frist Art Museum engaged with many Indigenous people during our fall 2019 presentation of Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists. Because Indigenous figures and culture are represented in works of art made by Euro-American artists in this exhibition, we invited several of our advisers to offer their perspectives on what is depicted.
