Art building in left foreground. FOREWORD The "Masterpieces of Art" catalogue illustrates and describes one of the five exhibits which comprise the Fine Arts Exhibition at the Seattle World's Fair. The form and selection of this exhibit are the work of Dr. William M. Milliken, Director Emeritus of The Cleveland Museum of Art. These great works come from fifty-seven American museums; and from the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Toronto, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Louvre, Paris, the Tokyo National Museum, Japan, the Academia Sinica, Taiwan, Republic of China, and the National Museum of India. The loan of these priceless works is a measure of the importance of our Seattle World's Fair; but even more, the willingness to lend these works is a tribute of affection and esteem to Dr. Milliken himself, the dean of American museum directors. The Fine Arts Exhibition at the Seattle World's Fair comprises five main exhibits, each the responsibility of a leading authority in his field: "Master- pieces of Art," assembled by Dr. Milliken; "Northwest Coast Indian Art," by Dr. Erna Gunther of the University of Washington; "Art Since 1950, American," selected by Sam Hunter, Director of the Rose Art Museum of Brandeis Uni- versity; "Art Since 1950, International," selected by Willem Sandberg, Director of the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam, Holland; and "Art of the Ancient East" and "Paintings by Mark Tobey," selected by Dr. Richard E. Fuller from the collection of the Seattle Art Museum. I am deeply grateful to those who have assembled these exhibits. The general direction of this exhibition has been an exciting and fascinating experience, and I wish to express my appreciation to all who have worked with me. First, I must thank Dr. Richard E. Fuller, President and Director of the Seattle Art Museum, whose constant assistance has been a prime help. I also thank Joseph E. Gandy, President, and Ewen C. Dingwall, General Director, of the Seattle World's Fair, for their unfailing support and most of all for an absolutely free hand; and Paul Kirk, whose talents not only designed our magnificent exhibition building but also persuaded our city fathers to find the money for it. I must thank the West Coast Directors' Advisory Committee and museums, artists, art dealers everywhere for their generous loans. I must mention, too, the valued work of my assistants, Allen C. Wilcox and Jan H. van der Marck. Endless work, patience, and enthusiasm on the part of the directors of the various sections of our exhibition have resulted in a truly great art show.

H. de Young Memorial Museum, San Francisco, York California ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is hard to express gratitude to all those who have aided by lending works of art for the "Masterpieces of Art" Exhibition of the Seattle World's Fair. Foreign nations have made possible the representation of three great countries and three great traditions on the farther rim of the Pacific. Special thanks are due to the Government of India and to the personnel of the National Museum in New Delhi; to the President and Officers of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan, The Republic of China; and to the Director and Curators of the National Museum in Tokyo, Japan. They have enriched the Exhibition by their out- standing loans. The Director of the National Museums of France and the Musee du Louvre has also honored Seattle by the gracious loan of a most important canvas. This aid and this deep and sympathetic interest add another feature of major importance. To the Directors, Trustees and Staffs of the Museums of the United States and Canada, who have granted loans of their masterpieces with such open-hearted generosity, must go a special word of appreciation. They have made the Exhibition possible. It is difficult to express adequately the deep sense of obligation felt in their regard. I must add a word of personal thanks to Norman Davis and to his staff for ever-ready consideration and never-failing aid; to all those associated with the management and organization of the Fair; to Dr. Richard E. Fuller, Director of the Seattle Art Museum, for his help in securing loans from Taiwan and Japan and for his encouragement, interest, and invaluable advice. I am indebted to Miss Helen S. Foote, retired Associate Curator of Decorative Arts in The Cleveland Museum of Art, for the rare ability, patience, and skill with which she has carried through the complex editorial problems of the catalogue; and to Mrs. Justin G. Zverina and others who have assisted her. F. Byers Hays, architect, designed the physical settings of the Exhibition galleries. A special word of thanks must go to the Directors and Superintendent of The Art Institute of Chicago, who made possible the services of G. Louis McManus, their Assistant Superintendent, to take care of unpacking and installation, repacking and shipping. Finally, renewed thanks to Norman Davis and to all who have aided. This Exhibition is the composite of their interest and hopes, a rare tribute to the cooperation of so many. WILLIAM M. MILUKEN INTRODUCTION Art is life. Life is change. These simple truisms are a basis for understanding, for when art ceases to change, ceases to evolve, when life stagnates, then comes death. It is the eternal renewal of the creative principles that has given the art of the ages its varied and ever-different aspects. And art, being an expression of life, reflects the thinking, the religious beliefs, the aspirations and dreams of the artists in each period and in any one of many mediums. Fashions, modes of thinking, points of view, techniques vary as the world varies. But it is significant that through the centuries the esthetic moments of man give a clear expression of his age. The aspirations of artists incorporate within their productions the time spirit. It is the individual approach within the time pattern, however, that allows and gives variety to each period. This variety is puzzling when seen without per- spective, for it-is easier to judge the art of an earlier age after the chaff has been winnowed by time. The present is almost always an enigma to the con- servative, who instinctively tries to conserve the past and refuses to recognize the inevitability of change. He sees incomprehensibility in the unfamiliar.

    ESSAY REVIEW Thomas Eakins Reconsidered

    ESSAY REVIEW Thomas Eakins Reconsidered Thomas Eakins. By LLOYD GOODRICH. (Cambridge: Published for the National Gallery of Art by Harvard University Press, 1982. Volume I, xvi, 336 p., Volume II, 366 p. Illustrations, chronology, bibliography, index. $90.00.) Thomas Eakins: Artist of Philadelphia. By DARRELL SEWELL. (Philadelphia: Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1982. Catalogue of an exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1982. xvi, 136 p. Illustrations, checklist. $12.95.) "Thomas Eakins is a difficult subject for the usual biography, because of his objection to having his private life written about," wrote his widow Susan Macdowell Eakins to her grandniece in the 1930s. When the young scholar Lloyd Goodrich brought the manuscript of Thomas Eakins: His Life and Work to her in 1932, she wondered again about so many words on the subject of "a man who did not care to be written about." Goodrich's book, published by the new Whitney Museum of American Art in 1933, now seems like a modest effort, although his claims for Eakins's importance were large and surely the impact of the book was significant. Today, one wonders what Tom and Susie would think of Goodrich's revised biography, now two volumes and almost 700 pages in length, not including a third volume still in the works, containing an up-dated catalogue raisonne. Doubtlessly Eakins himself would be by turns amused, appalled, puzzled and infuriated by this display of research and speculation. Honored in his own day, as he testified, by "misunderstanding, persecution and neglect, enhanced because unsought," Eakins would have to view such belated attention ironically.

By far the most pervasive and long-lived was the revival of psychedelia, that kept recurring throughout the Eighties and the Nineties. Los Angeles had its own movement, the "Paisley Underground". Psychedelia became merely a pretext to concoct baroque, oneiric and hypnotic sounds, often with the help of keyboards and strings. Byrds-ian jangling guitars and naive melodies a` la Hollies dominate Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (feb/mar - oct 1983) by Rain Parade (1), with Matt Piucci on vocals and Dave Roback on guitar, as well as the EP Baroque Hoedown (fall 1982 - dec 1982) and the album Sixteen Tambourines (? 1983 - oct 1983) by Mike Quercio's Three O'Clock (1). Needless to say, the Paisley Underground was only the tip of the iceberg. The Dream Syndicate (12), formed by guitarists Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda and bassist Kendra Smith, acted as the natural liaison between Television (and the new wave in general) and the new generation of psychedelic rockers.

    ART AND THE SPORTSMAN, SPORTING ART AND THE MAN: GUSTAVE CAILLEBOTTE AND THE LATE NINETEENTH-CENTURY MALE BODY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Erin Lizabeth Lehman August, 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Therese Dolan, Advisory Chair, Art History Dr. Gerald Silk, Art History Dr. Peter Logan, English Dr. Suzanne Singletary, Art History, Philadelphia University ii ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses primarily on the Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte’s paintings of rowers on the Yerres River outside Paris, created in the late 1870s. The works engage with many of the radical shifts in social and cultural norms that took place during the latter half of the nineteenth-century as industrialization and urbanization increasingly affected daily life in Europe and America. The paintings are in dialogue with developments in the fine arts, including the growing influence of Impressionism and avant-garde artists, and deal extensively with the male figure, reacting to and engaging with changing norms of masculinity. To fully examine the works, I focus on five areas of comparison. First, in considering the possible implications of changing masculine ideals in relation to the physical body during the period, I consider Caillebotte’s controversial nude male bathers. I then contrast Caillebotte’s oarsmen with both the professional rowers portrayed by his American contemporary Thomas Eakins, and the more leisurely boating scenes of his fellow Impressionists. Finally, I examine the history of the dandy/flâneur figure, arguing that Caillebotte’s rowers illustrate the artist’s attempt to reinvent and modernize the concept.

Date (November 12, 2009) PICTURING THE ARTIST’S WIFE, A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS BY THOMAS EAKINS AND ALFRED STIEGLITZ Sandra Adams, B.A. Mentor: Eric Denker, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Extensive literature examines the photographs taken by Alfred Stieglitz of his wife, Georgia O’Keeffe. On the other hand, less scholarly interest has focused on Thomas Eakins’ photographs of his wife, Susan Macdowell Eakins. This thesis examines both artists’ photographs of their wives and concludes that they reflect the profound feelings both men held for their spouses. In order to demonstrate the intimacy between artist and wife, this thesis will examine photographs Eakins took of other men and women and compare them to ones he took of Macdowell. Similarly, this thesis also examines the photographs Stieglitz took of other women and contrasts them to ones he took of O’Keeffe. In so doing, this thesis demonstrates that many of the unique attributes of the wives’ portraits are not evident in Eakins’ and Stieglitz’s work with other subjects. By comparing Stieglitz’s and Eakins’ portraits of their wives in such a manner, this thesis will demonstrate that both artists revealed in their work a deep affection and admiration for their wives.

    HISTORY in the ART of THOMAS EAKINS Akela

    ABSTRACT Title: BEYOND REALISM: HISTORY IN THE ART OF THOMAS EAKINS Akela Reason, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Directed By: Professor Sally M. Promey, Department of Art History and Archaeology Art historians often associate Thomas Eakins’ s realist depictions of modern life with the artist’s most rational tendencies. In these images, Eakins’s scrutiny of his subjects seems to verge on the scientific. Consequently, many of these works have been studied in terms of Eakins’s devotion to understanding and replicating the tangible world around him, marshalling as evidence the artist’s meticulous methods of preparation, his scrupulous study of anatomy, and his literal use of photographs. The sense that Eakins’s creativity was always bounded by reason has contributed to the canonization of these modern life subjects. While these images reinforce the notion of Eakins’s almost scientific faith in the real, they do not include many of the works that the artist deemed most important. Concurrent wit h these modern life subjects, Eakins also completed works that engage with historical subject matter. Although these images have often been dismissed as unimportant to Eakins’s career, the artist numbered many of them among his best. Ranging from his colonial revival subjects of the 1870s and 80s to his reprisal of William Rush Carving His Allegorical Figure of the Schuylkill River in 1908, the historical works span the length of his career and engage in a dialogue with his more familiar realist images. This dissertation examines how in each decade of his career, Eakins used historical subject matter to assert his most deeply -held professional beliefs.
