The Library of Professor Leo Steinberg The Library of Professor Leo Steinberg 4164 titles in ca. 4600 physical volumes INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL DICTIONARY OF ART HISTORIANS A Biographical Dictionary of Historic Scholars, Museum Professionals and Academic Historians of Art Steinberg, Leo, né Zalman Lev Date born: July 9, 1920 Place Born: Moscow, Russia Date died: March 13, 2011 Place died: New York, NY Michelangelo- and modernist art historian; Benjamin Franklin professor of art at University of Pennsylvania, 1975- 1991. Steinberg was born in Moscow of German-Jewish parents (his mother was Anyuta Esselson [Steinberg], 1890- 1954) and his father, Isaac Nachman Steinberg (1888-1957), government figure and lawyer in revolutionary Russia. Lenin appointed Steinberg's father commissar of justice. His idealism, (he wanted to abolish the prison system, for example) forced the family into exile in Berlin, where the younger Steinberg grew up. After the rise of the Nazis in Germany, the family moved to London where Steinberg studied (studio) painting and sculpture at the Slade School in London from 1936 to 1940. After World War II he immigrated to New York working initially as a freelance writer and translator (including a holocaust account, Ashes and Fire, 1947). He also taught drawing at the Parsons School of Design. He studied art history at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, under Richard Krautheimer and Wolfgang Lotz, receiving his Ph.D., in 1960. His dissertation, written under Lotz, was on Borromini's San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane. In 1962 he an art editor for Life magazine married Dorothy Seiberling (later divorced). Between 1962-1975 Steinberg taught art history and life drawing at Hunter College, the City University of New York. He and Milton Brown developed the curriculum for the City University's graduate program in art history, instituted in 1971. During this time he began buying prints, which developed into one of the finest Italian Renaissance and Mannerist graphics collections in private hands. His collection also included many modern masters, another a research interest of Steinberg’s. From 1969 to 1971, he was a board member of the College Art Association. Steinberg largely confined himself to articles (as opposed to books) for most of his early career. In 1972, he wrote two of the articles for which he is best known, neither of which was on a Renaissance topic. The first, "Reflections on the State of Art Criticism," which attacked traditional art criticism (see below), and a (re)analysis of Picasso's Demoiselles d'Avignon, entitled "The Philosophical Brothel." The latter article, which situated the viewer as a patron in a house of prostitution and intellectually as a participant of the pivot of Cubism, brought a storm of criticism (among groups as disparate as feminists and formalists) as well as widespread acceptance. In 1972, too, Steinberg also co-founded the art history department of the graduate center at CUNY. His collected essays, Other Criteria was published the same year. In 1975 he was named Benjamin Franklin Professor of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Also in 1975, Steinberg wrote his first monograph, Michelangelo's Last Paintings. In 1982, he delivered the A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, titled, "The Burden of Michelangelo’s Painting." The following year, Steinberg published another "blockbuster" re-evaluation of a traditional genre: the sexual representation of the infant Christ. A storm of controversy again ensued and the article (it required the entire issue of October magazine) appeared in book form the same year. In 1983 Steinberg was received a literature award from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the first art historian to win this distinction. He won the College Art Association's Frank Jewett Mather Award for Distinction in Criticism in 1984 and was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow in 1986. Before his retirement in 1991, he taught a semester as the Meyer Schapiro Chair at Columbia University in New York. During the 1995-1996 academic year, he delivered the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard. A 1996 visiting faculty position at the University of Texas, Austin resulted in Steinberg’s donation in 2002 of his more than 3,200 prints assembled over four decades. It was valued at $3.5 million. A historiographic book on the popularity of Leonardo's Last Supper, Leonardo's Incessant Last Supper, appeared in 2001. Steinberg was a resident scholar at the American Academy in Rome and the Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities in Santa Monica, CA. Steinberg followed no methodological school, remaining a respected maverick in the art history community, and one of the scrappiest. His essay "Reflections on the State of Art Criticism" in Artforum attacked purely formalist criticism in favor of a pluralistic interpretation (which included formal analysis) as well as emotional response, and a contextualization of the object historically. His paradigm became highly influential in the subsequent decades. Steinberg's study of the sexual representations of Christ in Renaissance art was a Freudian/textual critique, was admired for its originality but not wholly embraced by the art-historical community. E. H. Gombrich, speaking of Steinberg's 1975 book Michelangelo's Last Paintings, chided him for unprovable meanings, writing, ''He has produced a book to be reckoned with, but a dangerous model to follow.'' His collected essays Other Criteria, mostly on contemporary art, demonstrate his combination of powerful observation and documentary scrutiny which made his writing unique. Feminists such as Carol Duncan attacked his view as being exclusionary to a female gaze. His celebrated disagreement with Museum of Modern Art Director William Rubin over the "Demoiselles d'Avignon" interpretation was covered in the pages of Art in America in the late 1970s. Steinberg's writing was lampooned, not very insightfully, by Tom Wolfe in his book The Painted Word (1975).

March 14, 2011 Leo Steinberg, Art Historian, Dies at 90 By KEN JOHNSON Leo Steinberg, one of the most brilliant, influential and controversial art historians of the last half of the 20th century, died on Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 90. His death was confirmed by his assistant, Sheila Schwartz. Mr. Steinberg was an inspirational lecturer, a writer of striking eloquence and an adventurous scholar and critic who loved to challenge the art world’s reigning orthodoxies. Though trained in the study of the Renaissance and Baroque eras, he wrote as insightfully about modern art as he did about the old masters. The titles of his two best-known books, “Other Criteria: Confrontations With Twentieth-Century Art” (1972) and “The Sexuality of Christ in Renaissance Art and in Modern Oblivion” (1983), suggest the range of his interests.

SOME MEMORIES BY ANDRÉ DERAIN At the end of July 1895, carrying a drawing prize and the first prize for natural science, I left Chaptal College with no regrets, leaving behind the reputation of a bad student, lazy and disorderly. Having been a brilliant pupil of the Fathers of the Holy Cross, I had never got used to lay education. The teachers, the caretakers, the students all left me with memories which remained more bitter than the worst moments of my military service. The son of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam was in my class. His mother, a very modest and retiring lady in black, waited for him at the end of the day. I had another friend in that sinister place, Linaret. We were the favourites of M. Milhaud, the drawing master, who considered each of us as good as the other. We used to mark our classmates’s drawings and stayed behind a few minutes in the drawing class to put away the casts and the easels. This brought us together in a stronger friendship than students normally enjoy at that sort of school. I left Chaptal and went into an establishment which, by hasty and rarely effective methods, prepared students for the great technical colleges. It was an odd class there, a lot of colonials and architects.

  • Lezione 12 – Da Montenapoleone in Duomo (Dia 1) Lasciamo Ancora Una Volta Montenapoleone Per Entrare a Sinistra in Via S
    Lezione 12 – Da Montenapoleone in Duomo (Dia 1) Lasciamo ancora una volta Montenapoleone per entrare a sinistra in via S. Andrea dove al n, 6 troviamo (Dia 2) il PALAZZO MORANDO ATTENDOLO BOLOGNINI, al cui interno si trovano la COLLEZIONE COSTUME MODA E IMMAGINE e il MUSEO DI MILANO. Pare che la contessa Bolognini fosse addirittura l'amante del re Umberto I; Edificato nel ‘500, il Palazzo fu residenza di alcune tra le più importanti famiglie milanesi, tra cui i Villa che nel corso del XVIII secolo fecero eseguire sull’edificio numerosi interventi, conferendogli l’impronta rococò, che tuttora lo caratterizza. Nei primi anni del XX secolo la dimora, che allora apparteneva alla famiglia De Cristoforis, fu acquistata dai coniugi Gian Giacomo Morando Bolognini e Lydia Caprara Morando Bolognini, che riempirono le sale con un’ampia collezione di arredi e dipinti. (dia 3) La Contessa Lydia, rimasta vedova nel 1919, morì senza eredi nel 1945 e nel testamento volle donare la sua residenza milanese, con tutto il contenuto, al Comune di Milano, che secondo l’uso dell’epoca smembrò le collezioni per unirle a quelle di altri edifici comunali. Nel 1958, dopo un lungo restauro dovuto agli ingenti danni subiti dall’edificio durante la II Guerra Mondiale, Palazzo Morando aprì le sue porte al pubblico col nome di “Museo di Milano”. Al piano nobile fu collocata la collezione Beretta (tuttora esposta), una ricca raccolta di dipinti e disegni dedicata all’iconografia urbanistica e architettonica di Milano, anch’essa divenuta di proprietà del Comune grazie a una donazione. Al pian terreno invece trovò sistemazione nel 1963 il Museo della Guerra e della Resistenza, poi denominato Museo di Storia Contemporanea.

  • The Last Supper Seen Six Ways by Louis Inturrisi the New York Times, March 23, 1997
    1 Andrea del Castagno’s Last Supper, in a former convent refectory that is now a museum. The Last Supper Seen Six Ways By Louis Inturrisi The New York Times, March 23, 1997 When I was 9 years old, I painted the Last Supper. I did it on the dining room table at our home in Connecticut on Saturday afternoon while my mother ironed clothes and hummed along with the Texaco. Metropolitan Operative radio broadcast. It took me three months to paint the Last Supper, but when I finished and hung it on my mother's bedroom wall, she assured me .it looked just like Leonardo da Vinci's painting. It was supposed to. You can't go very wrong with a paint-by-numbers picture, and even though I didn't always stay within the lines and sometimes got the colors wrong, the experience left me with a profound respect for Leonardo's achievement and a lingering attachment to the genre. So last year, when the Florence Tourist Bureau published a list of frescoes of the Last Supper that are open to the public, I was immediately on their track. I had seen several of them, but never in sequence. During the Middle Ages the ultima cena—the final supper Christ shared with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion—was part of any fresco cycle that told His life story. But in the 15th century the Last Supper began to appear independently, especially in the refectories, or dining halls, of the convents and monasteries of the religious orders founded during the Middle Ages.

  • CABANEL ALEXANDRE (Francia) Nato Montpellier, 28 Settembre 1823
    CABANEL ALEXANDRE (Francia) Nato Montpellier, 28 settembre 1823. Morto a Parigi, 23 gennaio 1889. Allievo di François-Édouard Picot all'École des Beaux-Arts, ottenne il secondo Prix de Rome nel 1845, passando così cinque anni a Villa Medici a Roma. Ottenne grande fama con la Nascita di Venere, acquistata da Napoleone III nel 1863. Lo stesso anno fu nominato professore all'École des Beaux-Arts e membro dell'Académie des Beaux-Arts. Membro di giuria per 17 volte dal 1868 al 1888 del Salon, ne ricevette la medaglia d'onore nel 1865, 1867 e 1878. Fu pittore di storia, di genere e ritrattista: conteso dai collezionisti d'Europa e d'America, richiesto come ritrattista, fu nemico del Naturalismo e dell'Impressionismo, e fu attaccato da Émile Zola e da tutti coloro che difendevano la necessità di un'arte meno soave e più realista. Il collega Edouard Manet lo disprezzava. La tela Nascita di Venere gli valse grande notorietà e numerose committenze. Durante l’Ottocento al tema del nudo sdraiato si dedicarono pittori affermati come Renoir e Courbet, Ingres e Gauguin e Van Gogh. Molto ricercato come ritrattista, ebbe moltissimi allievi, fra cui alcuni raggiunsero la notorietà. FILATELIA BENIN Anno 2003, CENTRO AFRICANA REP.

    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction: The Reading of the Model JOHN ELDERFIELD La lecture du modèle, et sa réalization, est quelquefois très lent à venir pour l’artiste. Cézanne to Charles Camoin, 9 December 19041 Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence on 19 January 1839, and died there aged sixty-seven on 23 October 1906. He made almost 1,000 paintings, of which around 160 are portraits.2 This publication accompanies the only exhibition exclusively devoted to these works since 1910, when Ambroise Vollard, who had been the artist’s dealer, showed twenty-four ‘Figures de Cézanne’. The present, much larger selection was chosen with the aims of providing a guide to the range and development of Cézanne’s portraits, the methods of their making, and the choice of their sitters. Also, more broadly, it is intended to raise the question of what the practice of portraiture meant for Cézanne when he was painting – or, as he said, reading and ‘realising’ – the model. Old Rules When Cézanne began painting portraits in the early 1860s, portraiture in France had long been acknowledged as a genre second in importance only to paintings of historical and mythological subjects. It was growing in popularity, and it would continue to do so during the period of Cézanne’s career: in the late 1880s, a National Portrait Gallery would be proposed for Paris, as well as a special gallery for portraits in the Louvre.3 It was during the 1860s and 1870s, however, that many ambitious painters found themselves enquiring what a portrait should aim to do.

As Protestantism expanded throughout the entire Europe, the Catholic Church was seeking artistic methods to reattract believers. Being the precursor of Counter-Reformation art, Caravaggio incorporated tenebrism in his paintings. Art historians mostly correlate the use of tenebrism with religion, but there have also been scholars proposing how tenebrism reflects a unique naturalism that only belongs to Caravaggio. The paper will thus start with the introduction of tenebrism, discuss the two major uses of this artistic technique and will finally discuss Caravaggio’s legacy until today.

Introduction Most scholars agree that the Baroque range approximately from 1600 to 1750. There are mainly four aspects that led to the Baroque: scientific experimentation, free-market economies in Northern Europe, new philosophical and political ideas, and the division in the Catholic Church due to criticism of its corruption. Despite the fact that Galileo's discovery in astronomy, the Tulip bulb craze in Amsterdam, the diplomatic artworks by Peter Paul Rubens, the music by Johann Sebastian Bach, the Mercantilist economic theories of Colbert, the Absolutism in France are all fascinating, this paper will focus on the sophisticated and dramatic production of Catholic art during the Counter-Reformation ("Baroque Art and Architecture," n.d.).

  • MONTEPULCIANO's PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – C.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES in FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL and POLITI
    MONTEPULCIANO’S PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – c.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES IN FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXTS Two Volumes Volume I Koching Chao Ph.D. University of York History of Art September 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis argues for the significance of castellated civic palaces in shaping and consolidating Florence’s territorial hegemony during the fifteenth century. Although fortress-like civic palaces were a predominant architectural type in Tuscan communes from the twelfth century onwards, it is an understudied field. In the literature of Italian Renaissance civic and military architecture, the castellated motifs of civic palaces have either been marginalised as an outdated and anti-classical form opposing Quattrocento all’antica taste, or have been oversimplified as a redundant object lacking defensive functionality. By analysing Michelozzo’s Palazzo Comunale in Montepulciano, a fifteenth-century castellated palace resembling Florence’s thirteenth-century Palazzo dei Priori, this thesis seeks to address the ways in which castellated forms substantially legitimised Florence’s political, military and cultural supremacy. Chapter One examines textual and pictorial representations of Florence’s castellation civic palaces and fortifications in order to capture Florentine perceptions of castellation. This investigation offers a conceptual framework, interpreting the profile of castellated civic palaces as an effective architectural affirmation of the contemporary idea of a powerful city-republic rather than being a symbol of despotism as it has been previously understood. Chapters Two and Three examine Montepulciano’s renovation project for the Palazzo Comunale within local and central administrative, socio-political, and military contexts during the first half of the fifteenth century, highlighting the Florentine features of Montepulciano’s town hall despite the town’s peripheral location within the Florentine dominion.
