Classicism Romanticism THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 3 0620 00838895 0 CLASSICISM ANd ROMANTICISM FRENCH DRAWJNQS ANd PRJNTS PRJNTS ANd DRAwiNqs GAIIERJES SEpTEMbER 1^'N0VEIVlbER 1, 1970 TrIE METROpoliTAN MUSEUM of ART Classic and romantic currents and counter-currents enliven the richly productive first sixty years of nineteenth-century France. At first glance the "classicists" - David, Ingres, and Prud'hon - appear to be the stylistic archenemies of the "romantics" - Delacroix and G6ricault, but the present visual confrontation should make clear how much they had in common. The penetrating social critic Daumier stands somewhat apart, avant garde in his subject matter but harking back stylistically to the eighteenth century and above all to Fragonard. The major artists in this small exhibition were all first and fore­ most painters, but they were eminently talented draughtsmen and print makers as well. The development of lithography, a graphic process in­ vented in 1796 that allowed an artist to draw directly on a stone block from which his design could be printed, is splendidly accounted for in this exhibition. The drawings and prints in this exhibition have been chosen from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and from several private collections in New York City. This checklist supplies the essential in­ formation; bibliographical references are limited to the standard and most recent publications, and in most cases these cite the full bibliography.

Bulletin Ave were able to supply each print mentioned at the price quoted, the steady advance in the value of certain rare prints sometimes renders it impossible for us to supply a duplicate im- pression at the original price. After the Bulletin has been examined, we should be glad to send a selection of the Etchings themselves, for inspection, by ex- press or mail, to any address. AVe pay all charges of transmission ; and our correspondents need feel under no obligation to purchase, if the Etchings themselves do not satisfy them in every respect. Correspondents whom we do not already know, and who may desire to have Etchings sent on selection, will recognize the pro- priety of introducing themselves with a proper reference.

    Robert J. Wickenden (1861-1931) and the Late Nineteenth-Century Print Revival Susan J. Gustavison A Thesis in The Department of Art History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master Arts at Concordia University Montréal, Québec, Canada July 1989 © Susan J. Gustavison, 1989 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY Division of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Susan J. Gustavison Entitled: Robert J. Wickenden (1861-1931) and the Late Nineteenth-Century Print Revival and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Art History) complies with the regulations of this University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee, October 11, 1989 Robert J. Wickenden (1861 - 1931) and the Late Nineteenth-Century Print Revival Page ii A thesis by Susan J. Gustavison, July, 1989, Concordia University, Montréal – transcribed by Ken Watson, 1998 ABSTRACT Robert J. Wickenden (1861-1931) and the Late Nineteenth-Century Print Revival Susan J. Gustavison Despite an extensive exhibition history, favourable critical reception, the respect of his peers in the art establishment, and fruitful relationships with collectors such as Charles Lang Freer, James E. Scripps and Sir William Van Horne, Robert J. Wickenden (1861-1931) has remained a minor artist unclaimed by any of the national histories (British, Canadian or American) to which he has been linked in biographical entries. Robert Wickenden was a paradigm of a minor late nineteenth-century artist. His activity as a printmaker and painter of portraits and landscape was supplemented, and at times supported by his role as a collector, dealer and historian in the late nineteenth-century print revival.

WINN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 Laura M. Winn To my first teachers, my Mom and Dad, for giving me the lifelong gift and love for learning ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people that helped in facilitating and supporting the long and challenging journey of researching and writing this dissertation. I am grateful to all of them. None of this would have been possible without the guidance of my committee members Ashley Jones, Brigitte Weltman-Aron, Elisabeth Fraser, and Nika Elder. Thank you for being so generous with your time, expertise, and thoughtful suggestions. I am especially indebted to my advisor and the chair of the committee, Melissa Hyde, for her willingness to adopt a Classicist interested in gender studies and introduce me to the importance–and fun–of dix-huitième scholarship. Melissa worked through multiple iterations and drafts of this project to clarify and refine my arguments, helping to bring a greater coherence and new voice to the exceptional lives and artistic contributions of Henry Ossawa Tanner and Hilda Rix Nicholas. Through every phase of my graduate education at Florida she has been a vital resource and mentor. I feel incredibility fortunate to have been her student. Crystalizing ideas into a finished dissertation often felt like an insurmountable challenge. I greatly benefited from the support, feedback, and experience of my “girl gang” at Florida.

  • The Routledge History of Food
    THE ROUTLEDGE HISTORY OF FOOD “Whether motivated by an interest in history or food, all readers will find much to stimu- late their thinking in this book. Carol Helstosky has assembled a collection of essays that reflects how diverse and rich the field of food history has become and establishes it as a research specialisation in its own right that contributes much to the discipline. Focussed on the last 500 years, the collection provides a synthesis of research that charts the direction of the field and reflects the transformation of the world food system within the broader his- torical context; a valuable resource that will introduce food history to a broad audience and inspire historians to recognize the significance of food for understanding the past and the everyday.” Adele Wessell, Southern Cross University, Australia The history of food is one of the fastest growing areas of historical investigation, incor- porating methods and theories from cultural, social, and women’s history while forging a unique perspective on the past. The Routledge History of Food takes a global approach to this topic, focusing on the period from 1500 to the present day. Arranged chronologically, this title contains 17 originally commissioned chapters by experts in food history or related topics. Each chapter focuses on a particular theme, idea, or issue in the history of food. The case studies discussed in these chapters illuminate the more general trends of the period, providing the reader with insight into the large-scale and dramatic changes in food history through an understanding of how these develop- ments sprang from a specific geographic and historical context.
