Anais Nin An exaggerated, literally diabolical image of another country—a country that is actually composed of human beings not so very different from the citizens of one’s own country—is in my judgment the very taproot of war in the present-day world. Ralph K. White, Ph.D. Author of Fearful Warriors We are members of a human race that possesses the knowledge required to feed itself and to provide education and a life of relative health, comfort, and cooperation for all in the context of a globally peaceful and ecologically sustainable planet. Yet, we are still polarized and compartmentalized, torn by racial, ethnic, and class hostilities, religious and sectarian antagonism, and competing special-interest groups and ideologies and steeped in politics as usual, lacking the collective will to extricate ourselves from this quagmire. Elena Mustakova-Possardt, Ed.D. Author of Critical Consciousness: Study of Morality in Global Historical Context The challenge to those of us who set a very high priority on moving towards peace is to induce more of our colleagues and our fellow citizens to agree with us—and to bring our skills and resources to bear on government without the support of a national consensus.

    REVA WOLF Goya’s “Red Boy” The Making of a Celebrity R W Reva Wolf came to study with Jonathan Brown when, as a student in his seminar on Francisco Goya, she discovered the topic of her Ph.D. dissertation. Brown served as co-advisor with Robert Rosenblum for the dissertation, entitled “Francisco Goya and the Interest in British Art and Aesthetics in Late Eighteenth-Century Spain”, which Wolf defended in . Growing directly out of this Ph.D. work was Wolf’s book and exhibition, Goya and the Satirical Print (). She also wrote one of her two Master’s degree qualifying papers, The Hall of Battles at El Escorial, under Brown’s guidance. Her first professional writing assignment, the essay “Onlooker, Witness and Judge in Goya’s Disasters of War,” for the catalogue of the exhibition Fatal Consequences: Callot, Goya, and the Horrors of War (), was due to Brown’s recommendation.

  • Van Dyck: the Anatomy of Portraiture,” on View at the Frick Collection Until June 5, Opportunities to Consider These Questions Abound
    TheVan Anatomy Dyck Of Portraiture By James D. Balestrieri NEW YORK CITY — A great portrait is a balancing act between capturing likeness and revealing inner character, between fidelity to appearance — verisimilitude — and exposing the sitter’s inner light to the light of day: the eyes of beholders, viewers, us. But in great portraiture there is another requisite element: mystery. The portraitist must hint at something else, something other, something that shimmers at the surface — often in the eyes, mouth or hands of the sitter — a moment that passed, perhaps, between the artist and the sitter, a secret we suspect but can never fully be in on. “Cardinal Guido Bentivoglio,” 1623, oil on canvas. Galleria Palatina, Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy. How can we know when a portrait has this quality? The simplest answer is that when a portrait moves us to try to bore into it, to decode its subject, the sitter, time and again, that mystery is present. But there is a more scientific method. If collectors and cultural institutions, over a lengthy period, single out, vie for and prize portraits of people they could never have known, people they have no relation to, people whose names may well be lost or mean little to history, then we may be sure that the artist has captured lightning in a bottle. When this is evident, as in the case of Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641), new questions emerge about the production and consumption of portraits, and about their place and meaning in disparate cultures over time. With more than 100 of the artist’s works in the exhibition “Van Dyck: The Anatomy of Portraiture,” on view at the Frick Collection until June 5, opportunities to consider these questions abound.

  • “Sic 'Em Ned”: Edward M. Almond and His Army, 1916
    “SIC ’EM NED”: EDWARD M. ALMOND AND HIS ARMY, 1916-1953 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael E. Lynch August 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin, Advisory Chair, Department of History Dr. Kenneth L. Kusmer, Department of History Dr. Jay Lockenour, Department of History Dr. Dennis Showalter, External Member, Colorado College i © Copyright 2014 by Michael E. Lynch All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Edward Mallory “Ned” Almond belonged to the generation of US Army officers who came of age during World War I and went on to hold important command positions in World War II and the Korean War. His contemporaries included some of America’s greatest captains such as Omar N. Bradley. While Almond is no longer a household name, he played a key role in Army history. Almond was ambitious and gave his all to everything he did. He was a careful student of his profession, a successful commander at battalion and corps level, a dedicated staff officer, something of a scholar, a paternalistic commander turned vehement racist, and a right-wing zealot. He earned his greatest accolades commanding the American troops who landed at Inchon, South Korea, on September 15, 1950, an amphibious flanking movement that temporarily transformed the nature of the Korean War. A soldier of such accomplishments and contradictions has gone too long without a scholarly biography; this dissertation will fill that void. This biography of Lt. Gen. Edward M. Almond makes a significant and original contribution to the existing historiography by examining his life in the context of the times in which he served.
