DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History In GRAPHIC SENSATIONS: VOGUE AND THE POLITICS OF THE BODY, 1930-1945 BY RACHEL ROSEBOROUGH WHITE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Terri Weissman, Chair Associate Professor Lisa Rosenthal Assistant Professor Kristin Romberg Professor Leslie Reagan Abstract This dissertation analyzes the visual program and material body of American Vogue magazine, a publication dedicated to the modern woman, during two tumultuous decades before the mid-century. In the 1930s, images of the female body, as well as the composition of the page, radically changed, as snapshots, streamlined design, and modern dress reform energized the look and experience of reading Vogue. As the next decade brought war, Vogue documented men and women in the American Armed Forces stationed in Europe and transmitted images of burned, mutilated, and broken bodies back to readers at home. Cover photographs of active, healthy women in the 1930s would shift to highly stylized, fractured images of the female form in the 1940s. The visual modifications to Vogue in the 1930s and 1940s were not merely aesthetic, but heavily inflected by shifting cultural, social, and economic norms during the Great Depression and the Second World War. Analyzing images by key Vogue photographers such as Toni Frissell, Lee Miller, and Erwin Blumenfeld in relation to page layouts, typography, clothing design, and popular culture, this project uncovers how photography and design promoted new strategies to connect with white female communities and articulate evolving definitions of the body and subjectivity. I argue the photographers and art directors under consideration here enhanced the concept of the magazine as a haptic medium by creating visual forms that privileged sensorial connections. Whereas fashion magazines have traditionally been undervalued in academic scholarship, this dissertation draws on feminist theory and studies of materiality to situate Vogue as a crucial object for understanding how the politics of the body shaped mass media, as the magazine fashioned new perceptual experiences for engaging with, and translating, modern women and forms of femininity. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation has been many years in the making, in large part because I began this project just as I started a full-time career in museums. While spending my days teaching from objects on walls or in vitrines in galleries, this project allowed me space to think about objects that were touched, paged through, and held. I want to first thank my advisor, Terri Weissman, for believing that I could tackle this project and for her steadfast encouragement and critical insights that have helped me to deepen and refine my arguments. She saw the gems when I was in the weeds. I would also like to thank my committee, Lisa Rosenthal, Kristin Romberg, and Leslie Reagan. The discussion during my defense was a model of feminist practice and mentorship — incredibly generative, supportive, and critically constructive. I would also like to thank other mentors as part of graduate school and this project. Alexander Dumbadze was an early encourager of my work and first pushed me to consider the PhD. Irene Small tested and expanded my thinking on feminism and form. Jennifer Greenhill stoked a curiosity and rigorous thinking of magazines as a rich site of investigation and imagination. My gratitude to those that assisted me in archival work over the course of the development of this dissertation. In particular, my thanks to Shawn Waldron and Marianne Brown at Condé Nast in New York for opening the Condé Nast and Edna Woolman Chase archives and consulting with me on fashion photography. Tony Penrose, Ami Bouhassane, and Kerry Negahban at the Lee Miller Archives in Chiddingly, East Sussex, United Kingdom allowed me access to Miller’s unpublished material and photographs; I’ll never forget looking through these materials in Miller’s former home in the country and for the stiff afternoon coffee in the last, furious hours of research as the sun set. Penrose introduced me to Pam Gosling iii Makin, who shared with me about growing up during the war, working at Vogue, and memories of Miller. Hilary Roberts at the Imperial War Museum generously shared her wealth of knowledge on the Ministry of Information and its relation to the fashion press and photography. Yvette Blumenfeld Georges Deeton shared her grandfather Erwin Blumenfeld’s letters with me in New York and offered insight into his practice. I would also like to thank Mary Savig at the Archives of American Art for allowing me access to the Alexander Liberman papers and the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress for granting access to Toni Frissell’s correspondence in Washington, DC. I would like to also thank my dearest friends forged in graduate school. Laura McGowan, Jenny Stettler Parsons, and Mary Savig at the George Washington University and Lauren Applebaum, Miriam Kienle, and Heather Tennison at the University of Illinois are tremendous friends, support systems, and brilliant scholars. These women sustained me during the most stressful periods, and continue to sustain me with their infectious humor, buoyancy, and friendship. My thanks to Ron Buffington at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, for offering me the opportunity to teach a course on magazines, and to my students who sparked new thinking on this project through our conversations and in the creative interventions they made with their own magazines as responses. To my dear friends at UTC: Jordan Amirkhani, now at American University, was a revelation for my critical thinking, offering generous feedback and modeling what socially-engaged art historical and contemporary scholarship looks like. Christina Renfer Vogel continually gave support and laughter, and Aggie Toppins—whether in our deep conversations, in her work, or in a cocktail riffing on theory—perpetually inspires me to think about the critical and affective potential of materiality and graphic design. iv To my former colleagues at the Krannert Art Museum, in particular Anne Sautman and Katie Koca Polite, thank you for being early cheerleaders on this project. At the Hunter Museum of American Art, Adera Causey encouraged me every step of the way to forge forward, Cara McGowan lifted me with her humor, and Nandini Makrandi gave, and continues to give, constant support, advice, and unconditional friendship. My deepest gratitude to Graham Boettcher and Meghan Ann Hellenga at the Birmingham Museum of Art for gifting the time and continually encouraging me to write this dissertation during my critical last year. To my colleagues in the Education department, Lana Beardslee, Lindsey Hammel, Emily Hylton, Meredith Knight, Angie May, and Willow Scott, you are an amazing group of women to work with each day. To all of my colleagues at the BMA for their support, in particular Cate Boehm, Kate Crawford, Emily Hanna, Sean Pathasema, Hallie Ringle, Robert Schindler, James Williams, and Don Wood, thank you for your enthusiasm to get to the finish line and inspiring me every day on the incredible work museums can do, as well as writing with me in coffee shops and sending cards, texts, and balloons—you helped me get through the most difficult final months. My thanks to my in-laws, Micky Miller and Carolyn Miller, for their cheerleading over the years. My deep love and gratitude to my parents Johnny White and Ruth White, who always put education first for their children and made incredible sacrifices to do so. This dissertation is dedicated to Jay Miller, who has been with me from the very beginning. His generosity has no bounds. And this project is for Campbell Miller, who came, with his beautiful, inquisitive spirit, at the end. v List of Figures Fig. 1: Claude-Louis Desrais, Jeune Dame Coeffée au Hérisson, Fashion Plate from Galerie des Modes et Costumes Français, Dessinés D'Après Nature, 1778-1787 Fig. 2: A.

    November 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Keith de Lellis (212) 327-1482 [email protected] 4 x 14: FOUR VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS BY FOURTEEN WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS NOVEMBER 14, 2019 – JANUARY 31, 2020 Keith de Lellis Gallery presents an exhibition of fourteen women photographers, represented by four photographs each, for this end-of-year exhibition. Spanning nearly a century, these photographs capture cityscapes, cultures and customs, fashion models, family life, and more. All pioneers in their own right, the women featured in this show carved a place for themselves in a male- dominated field. Industrial photographer Margaret Bourke-White was the first female war correspondent and the first staff photographer for both Fortune and Life magazines. One of her many striking industrial photographs was featured on Life’s very first cover. Charlotte Brooks expressed feeling like “one of the guys” as the only long-term woman staff photographer for Look magazine. Louise Dahl-Wolfe had an accomplished 22-year tenure with Harper’s Bazaar as a fashion photographer, contributing 86 cover photographs and hundreds of additional images for the magazine that came to be defined by her distinct vision. Doris Ulmann and Antoinette B. Hervey were both students of the Clarence H. White School. Ulmann traveled extensively throughout Appalachia to create portraits that would preserve local traditions and folklore as modernization spread across the country. Ulmann’s subjects are both humble and proud as they are pictured farming, crafting, and peddling vegetables. While Ulmann’s focus was human, Hervey’s was architectural: a thorough study of the construction and completed form of the Cathedral of St.

  • African Americans in Military Service: World War II Through Vietnam
    African Americans in Military Service World War II to Vietnam National cemeteries were created in the 1860s to honor the service of America’s armed forces, a mission that continues today. The NCA system and its memorial features have expanded over more than 150 years to reflect the diversity and demographics of who answered the call. At many locales, segregation in life meant segregation in death. But the U.S. Army was insistent that white or black, its soldiers and sailors deserved burial in a national cemetery. The struggles and injustice endured by black service members in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries echoed the social and political climate of civilian life. Blacks served in all U.S. conflicts, but the years between the Civil War and the Korean conflict were the most contentious. Desegregation was mandated in 1948. The fight for racial quality is evidenced through the recognition of veteran activists, pilots, heroes, artists, journalists and, sadly, victims. Their stories inspired and helped propel civil rights in America. Here are some accounts of African-American service from World War II to Vietnam as reflected in VA national cemeteries. World War II World War II had been underway in Europe for more than two years before the United States joined the fight in December 1941, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, HI. Marines were composed of all white men until 1942 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt opened it up to African Americans. Other military branches remained segregated. At the beginning of World War II, approximately 4,000 blacks served in the military.

Edward Gleed (1916–1990) was photographed by Toni Frissell (1907–1988), an American photographer, known for her fashion photography and war imagery. In this 1945 photograph, Gleed is wearing his uniform and equipment of a Second World War fighter pilot, posing in front of a P–51D Mustang airplane. During the Second World War, Gleed was educated at Tuskegee University (formerly Tuskegee Institute), located near Tuskegee, Alabama; hence, the moniker Tuskegee Airmen, who were the first African–American military aviators and aircrew in the United States Army Air Forces.

    The Politics and Poetics of Children’s Play: Helen Levitt’s Early Work By Elizabeth Margaret Gand A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emerita Anne Wagner, Chair Professor Emeritus Tim Clark Professor Elizabeth Abel Spring 2011 The Politics and Poetics of Children’s Play: Helen Levitt’s Early Work Copyright 2011 by Elizabeth Margaret Gand Abstract The Politics and Poetics of Children’s Play: Helen Levitt’s Early Work by Elizabeth Margaret Gand Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Emerita Anne Middleton Wagner, Chair This dissertation examines the work of the American photographer, Helen Levitt. It focuses in particular on her first phase of production—the years from 1937 to 1943—when she developed an important archive of pictures documenting children’s art and play encountered in the city streets. The dissertation is designed to help us understand the reasons why the subject of urban children’s art and play proved so productive for Levitt in her first phase of work. Why did she return again and again to the sight of children at play in the city streets? Why did she expend so much effort collecting children’s rude and crude drawings found on the pavement and the brownstone walls? What led her to envision the child as her genius loci of the urban streets, and what did she make out of the subject? Chapter one situates Helen Levitt’s initial turn to the child in relation to a surge of child imagery that appeared in the visual culture of the 1930s.

BAaseball mericana includes more than 350 images — many never before published —of famous players, ballparks, and baseball cards. As George Will notes in his introduction, readers of BAaseball mericana will become time travelers, “but moving in the other direction, back into the sometimes strange yet strangely familiar past of the game that is permanently present in the nation ’s mind.” The editorial cartoons of Herb Block, known as “Herblock, ” take you on a trip to the past, yet have amazing relevance to the present. Herblock: The Life and Work of the Great Political Cartoonist is the companion book to the Library ’s exhibition chronicling the life and times of Herb Block. In Herblock, Haynes Johnson provides a reverent and insightful biography, while Harry Katz places Herblock and his work in context.
