For me, having the opportunity to lead our critically important museum is like coming home. As a child growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, I was introduced to New York City through AFAM’s iconic painting Situation in America, 1848, which was repro- duced as a coverlet that my mother purchased and lovingly displayed on a wall in our living room. Ever since, AFAM has helped to shape my understanding of self-taught art across time and place. I have been fortunate to serve as a curator and administrator at museums in Hartford, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. I feel privileged to now direct the nation’s leading museum in folk art across four centuries, working with a dedicated and talented staff and trustees to chart the next chapter of AFAM.

  • “Ask Iris Love”: Cnidus, Aphrodite and Unorthodox Archeology
    Meghan Lacey _____________________________________________________________________________________ “Ask Iris Love”: Cnidus, Aphrodite and Unorthodox Archeology Art and Design Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Dorothy Joiner Abstract The existence of Praxiteles’ sculpture of the Aphrodite of Cnidus has long been regarded within the academic community as an unsolved mystery with many layers left to uncover. For many centuries, only the Roman copies of the sculpture could be referred to in order to comprehend the original stance and figure of Praxiteles’ Aphrodite, which was believed to have been completed in the fourth century B.C. Unfortunately, the remaining copies are believed to be from the late second century A.D. and therefore cannot be counted as reliable evidence to verify the authenticity of the rendition of Praxiteles’ original statue. The span of time between these periods may be too long to be sure of a correlation between the original Greek version and the Roman copies. According to J.J. Pollitt, Aphrodite of Cnidus inspired worship and reverence mostly due to her sensual physical features of her nude appearance, which was newly embraced by the cultural society of fourth century Greece (Art and Experience in Classical Greece 159). In the fifth century, Greek society had shunned the romantic and sexually idealized type of woman who could be objectified in art (Pollitt 159). Only one century later, the psychological changes in the collective conscious of Greece following the Peloponnesian War may have been main contributing factors resulting in a new Hellenistic age that ushered in the introduction of the female nude in Greek art (Pollitt 136-37). This period of Greek art was generally characterized by the emotional states of the facial expressions of the sculpted figures, as well as the exaggerated contrapposto poses of their bodies (Pollitt 159).

  • Annual Report 2010 Chairman’S Letter
    EXPLORINGTHEHUMANENDEAVOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FORTHEHUMANITIES ANNUAL REPORT 2010 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER June, 2011 Dear Mr. President, It is my privilege to present the 2010 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, once stated, “The goal should be that everybody gets a chance to read great books and participate in the richness that the humanities bring us.” He was not talking specifically about the mission of NEH when he said this, but he could have been. For over forty-five years, NEH has striven to bring superior humanities re- search and programming to all reaches of America. We do this through a rigorous grant review process that fosters excellence and rewards innovative scholarship. NEH fellowships and collaborative grants stimulate research in all areas of the humanities, from history and literature to philosophy and jurisprudence. This year saw the result of many years of painstaking, NEH-supported editorial work related to the writings of David Livingstone and Charles Darwin. The biggest blockbuster was the publication of the authoritative Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1, which became a bestseller and has so far gone into five printings. We also support work in the faster-paced field of digital humanities. Through Digging into Data grants, scholars are able to gather and analyze works in ways that have never been explored before. The program helps to bridge an understanding gap between scientists, technicians, and humanists. Cross-disciplined research allows for a deeper understanding of the past and the world around us today. From grade schools to universities, humanities are an integral ingredient in democratic education, providing students the tools of citizenship.

  • 2011 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
    E X P L O R I N G T H E H U M A N E N D E A V O R NatioNal ENdowmENt for thE humaNitiEs ANNUAL REPORT 2011 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER July 2012 Dear Mr. President, It is my privilege to present the 2011 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The late Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, described the difference between the company that he made into the most valuable in the world and other computer builders by the use of a few words: the liberal arts and the humanities. “Technology alone is not enough,” Jobs said. ”It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our hearts sing.” As our nation focuses on the need to excel in science, technology, engineering and math, it is particularly important not to lose sight of the purpose of success in these fields—the purpose enumerated as an unalienable right in the Declaration of Independence, the right to the “pursuit of happiness.” The mission of NEH is to give full value to the great branches of scholarly and cultural activity in order to achieve a greater understanding of the past, a wiser analysis of the present, and a more prescient view of the future. For forty-six years, NEH has striven to provide value to the American people by supporting impor­ tant humanities research and bringing a wide variety of humanities programming to every corner of our nation. We do this by supporting ideas from the grass roots, from scholars and researchers, museum directors and filmmakers, and allowing each individual state humanities council to design humanities programs to fit local interests.

    06 2006 ANNUAL REPORT NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 3 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is my privilege to present to you the 2006 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. In its 40th year, the Endowment continued to bring the wisdom and benefits of the humanities to all Americans—both through our core programs and through the ongoing work of the We the People initiative, which seeks to strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture. This year We the People offered its third annual Bookshelf grants to libraries across the country, featur- ing fifteen classic books for young readers on the theme of “Becoming American.” A generous gift from the McCormick Tribune Foundation allowed NEH to once again double the number of Bookshelf awards, to 2,000 libraries in 2006. We also expanded our We the People Landmarks of American History summer workshops this year to twenty-six historic and cultural sites across the United States, where more than 2,200 K-12 and community college teachers learned about significant American people and events. Also in 2006, recognizing the profound effect that digital technology is having on humanities scholar- ship, programming, and access, the Endowment has taken a leadership role in exploring the new frontier of the digital humanities. Digital technology offers us an unprecedented chance to make the world of the humanities more accessible and more collaborative—so we launched an agency-wide Digital Humanities Initiative, or DHI, to focus our digital efforts and ensure their effectiveness.
