SAN FRANCISCO There are the visits to each of the chapters, which just happen to be in cities that are intriguing to SEATTLE any traveler. There are the national board meetings—ditto on great cities and also the connection WASHINGTON, D.C. with strong, fun-loving, fascinating women. One of the perks I had not known when I accepted the president’s position, though, is the start-up of new chapters. We have several in the pipeline, but the one that has come together the most effectively is my ol’ hometown of New Orleans.

Alice A. Jardine Harvard University There is a new bridge in Paris: La Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir. I love this bridge. Almost as if in perfect harmony with its namesake, it joins the National Library with the Bercy Park, once a famous wine depot, still full of vineyards. Beauvoir would no doubt have loved the fact that the bridge joins the reading of books with the imbibing of spirits. Incorporating its etymological groundings in "passer" and "elles," the Simone de Beauvoir footbridge bounces, moves, spi- raling along its various levels of passageways from side to side, up and down, within an undulating rhythm at times a little dizzying.

  • Saul Steinberg, Moma, and the Unstable Cultural Field
    ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 3: ISSN 2640-8511 Saul Steinberg, MoMA, and the Unstable Cultural Field SAUL STEINBERG, MOMA, AND THE UNSTABLE CULTURAL FIELD 0 italianmodernart.org/journal/articles/saul-steinberg-moma-and-the-unstable- Will Norman Methodologies of Exchange: MoMA’s “Twentieth-Century Italian Art” (1949), Issue 3, January 2020 ABSTRACT This essay addresses the U.S. cultural field of the late 1940s as an unstable territory in which the protocol for evaluation and judgment of the literary as well as visual arts underwent considerable and radical revision. It argues for the identification of a brief but discrete period lasting from the end of World War II to the closure of the decade, characterized by pronounced uncertainty and tension over what forms and practices should be understood as legitimate. It traces the onset of this moment of instability in relation to modernism, transatlantic exchange, and the institutions of culture, using the particular example of Saul Steinberg (1914–1999) and his relationship to the legacy of Piet Mondrian (1872–1944). Steinberg emigrated from Italy to the U.S. during the war, having been interned as a Jew under Mussolini. A trained architect, fluent in the visual grammar of European interwar modernism, Steinberg reinvented himself in postwar America as an artist and illustrator. Steinberg proved himself exceptionally capable of traversing high and low culture, commercial and restricted fields, by virtue of his ability to negotiate the cultural field. By examining his engagements with Mondrian and the New York art world of the late 1940s, we stand to learn something new not only about him, but about the instability of the field at that time.
