  • The Arts of Early Twentieth Century Dining Rooms: Arts and Crafts
    THE ARTS OF EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY DINING ROOMS: ARTS AND CRAFTS, ART NOUVEAU, AND ART DECO by SUE-ANNA ELIZA DOWDY (Under the Direction of John C. Waters) ABSTRACT Within the preservation community, little is done to preserve the interiors of historic buildings. While many individuals are concerned with preserving our historic resources, they fail to look beyond the obvious—the exteriors of buildings. If efforts are not made to preserve interiors as well as exteriors, then many important resources will be lost. This thesis serves as a catalog of how to recreate and preserve an historic dining room of the early twentieth century in the Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco styles.

  • Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” Charles Darwin. This study is a retelling of a story of mistaken identity that has persisted in the annals of decorative arts for almost a century. The subjects are three examples of exceptional curvilinear chairs made out of exotic wood and forged in the great change and cultural upheaval in the first third of the nineteenth century in the United States. The form of these chairs has been assumed to belong to a later generation, but the analysis in the pages that follow attempt to restore their birthright as an earlier transitional step in the evolution of American furniture. These three curvilinear chairs – significantly different in design from earlier nineteenth-century forms – are remarkable as they exemplify how exquisite the curvilinear form could be in its early stages. Despite the fact that these chairs are an important link in furniture history, they have not been fully appreciated by either scholars or connoisseurs. Although there were many curvilinear chairs produced in the period, this study will focus on three remarkably similar examples: The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s side chair (68.202.1); the Merchant’s House Museum’s twelve side chairs (2002.2012.1-12); and, finally a set of sixteen owned by a descendent of the New York cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe (Cat. 46 in An Elegant Assortment: The Furniture of Duncan Phyfe and His Contemporaries, 1800-1840).1 It has been suggested this set was 1 The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s curvilinear side chair (68.202.1) is described on website: “As craftsmen transitioned from the Early to the Late Grecian style (the latter is also referred to as the Grecian Plain Style), they began to incorporate more curvilinear shapes and new 2 made by Duncan Phyfe for his daughter Eliza Phyfe Vail.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality o f the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. I f copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

    ART NOUVEAU AND THE RESISTANCE TO GERMANIZATION IN ALSACE-LORRAINE, CA. 1898-1914 Peter Clericuzio University of Pennsylvania Between August of 1870 and May of 1871, the French and the Germans fought each other in a conflict whose effects reverberated for the next fifty years. The Franco-Prussian War, sometimes known as the “war that split France and united Germany,”1 had its most long-lasting consequences in the region of Alsace-Lorraine (Fig. 1). Grudgingly handed over to the Germans by the French as one of the spoils of victory, Alsace-Lorraine became the focus of a complex cultural debate that continued at least until the end of World War II. Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France in 1919 (and—except for a brief re-annexation by the Nazis—has remained French territory ever since), but the legacy of its precarious geopolitical situation still can be seen today in the unique sets of laws, customs, and traditions that survive.2 In the decade and a half preceding World War I, the debate over the identity of Alsace- Lorraine and its ties to both France and Germany intensified with the appearance of the style known as Art Nouveau, particularly around the city of Nancy that was located barely thirty kilometres from the post-1871 border established by the Treaty of Frankfort. In Nancy, Art Nouveau became at once an emblem of defiance of the political reality that Alsace-Lorraine was now a German province and a rallying point for the hope that France might someday recapture these “lost provinces.” As the new rulers systematically began to physically and culturally rebuild Alsace-Lorraine after 1871 with a more recognizably German cultural character—bringing it in line with the rest of the Second Reich—many of the regionʼs residents resisted their efforts.

Where information has been de- rived from other sources, this has been indicated. Kirsten Yvonne Tambling 2 ABSTRACT This thesis asks how seduction is addressed in the work of Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) and William Hogarth (1697-1764), in the context of early eighteenth-century cross-Channel relationships. Literally meaning ‘leading astray’, seduction in the eighteenth century had resonances for sexuality, gender, morality, politics and aesthetics. This thesis uses a broad methodology, drawing on literary and social history, as well as the history of art, to provide an overview of seduction’s parameters, and to address its implications on both sides of the Channel.

  • The Development and Effects of the Twentieth-Century Wicker Revival
    The Development and Effects of the Twentieth-Century Wicker Revival Emily A. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Arts in the History of Decorative Arts The Smithsonian Associates and Corcoran College of Art and Design 2012 ©2012 Emily A. Morris All Rights Reserved Acknowledgments Fascinated by the elaborately scrolling wicker of the late nineteenth century, I originally sought to research the role of wicker in turn-of-the-century life. Through Brock Jobe, Frank McNamee, and Richard Saunders, I learned of the widespread return of wicker to porches and home interiors alike in the1970s and 1980s. Eager to know more about the development of the twentieth-century wicker revival, I researched the interplay of wicker and American culture in the second half of the twentieth century to compose this thesis. I owe the utmost gratitude to my thesis advisor, Dr. Oscar P. Fitzgerald, for his willingness to support my ideas. His calm demeanor and consistent belief in my abilities have always been heartening. I also thank Dr. Dorothea Dietrich, Thesis Writing Workshop Advisor, for challenging my perspective. I am indebted to Brock Jobe, Professor of American Decorative Arts at Winterthur, Frank McNamee, Owner of the Marion Antique Shop, and Richard Saunders, Wicker Expert and Appraiser; for informing me of the wicker revival of the1970s and 1980s. Laura Richarz, SDSA Set Decorator, provided a wealth of knowledge on wicker used in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I also thank Ms. Richarz for discussing its use on the sets of films and sitcoms. Many experts on wicker and rattan furniture have bestowed their invaluable information, time, and hospitality in this quest.
