Mr. Francis Henry Taylor, Director Metropolitan Museum of Art New York 28, New York Dear Mr RECEIVED JAN 2 3 1953 January 21, 1953 -aKfiCTOB Mr. Francis Henry Taylor, Director Metropolitan Museum of Art New York 28, New York Dear Mr. Taylor: On behalf of the Canajoharie Library and Art Gallery, we wish to thank you for making possible the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Gardner here last week. The visit was most helpful to us, and we appreciate the assistance and recommendations given by Mr. and Mrs. Gardner. I want to reiterate again our appreciation for your cooperation. Yours very truly, Edward Moore President EMrlmf THE METROPOLITiVN MUSEUM OF ART INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM RECEIVED To F. H. Taylor January 19, 1953 JAN 20 1953 From A. T. Gardner olKECTOK On Wednesday afternoon of last week, Mrs. Gardner and I went to inspect the art gallery at Canajoharie, New York. We spent the entire day Thursday in the gallery and storeroom and saw approximately 250-500 paintings. We .also saw more paintings belonging to the Art Gallery which are used to decorate the local Old Ladies Home, the Canajoharie Hotel, and the Beechnut Company Plant (from whence all blessings flow). The collection is very good in a spotty way and until the last few years purchases were all made by two members of the Arkell family which controlled Beechnut and also the other local industry, Smith and Arkell Paper Bag Company (known as "the Sack Factory"). Until recently the chef d'oeuvre of the collection was considered to be the full scale copy of Rembrandt's Night Watch. This takes up one whole wall of the gallery - miscellaneous architecture fills the opposite wall, leaving only two walls for the exhibition of the collection of American Paintings. The whole Art Gallery Committee and the President and the Curator are all new and they asked a million questions about running an art gallery which we answered to the best of our ability. It looks like a promising set up but they are still hampered by descendants of the founders and very little money. We suggested they sell at auction the duplicates and dogs and use the proceeds as the beginning of an endowment fund. The Committee paid all our expenses. P.S. They also own what is supposed to be Rembrandt's easel - in my judgment an 1880 parlor job of carved bog-oak. Edward Moore, Pres. Art Gallery Committee (Beechnut vice Pres, Purchasing?)

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If 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 thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    Oral history interview with Katherine Schmidt, 1969 December 8-15 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Katherine Schmidt on December 8 & 16, 1969. The interview took place in New York City, and was conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DECEMBER 8, 1969 [session l] PAUL CUMMINGS: Okay. It's December 8, 1969. Paul Cummings talking to Katherine Schubert. KATHERINE SCHMIDT: Schmidt. That is my professional name. I've been married twice and I've never used the name of my husband in my professional work. I've always been Katherine Schmidt. PAUL CUMMINGS: Well, could we start in 0hio and tell me something about your family and how they got there? KATHERINE SCHMIDT: Certainly. My people on both sides were German refugees of a sort. I would think you would call them from the troubles in Germany in 1848. My mother's family went to Lancaster, Ohio. My father's family went to Xenia, Ohio. When my father as a young man first started out in business and was traveling he was asked to go to see an old friend of his father's in Lancaster. And there he met my mother, and they were married. My mother then returned with him to Xenia where my sister and I were born.

  • 1 This Is the Second Interview of Dr. Julius Axelrod Friday, January 26
    This is the second interview of Dr. Julius Axelrod Friday, January 26, 1996 Grosvenor Apartments in Bethesda, Maryland Interviewer: Dr. Martin Flavin Flavin: So, I feel that Julie Axelrod's early life is probably never going to be known except from what we're able to talk about, and I know he thinks it's uninteresting and I can understand why. If he thinks it's not fun to think about, then it's really not good and we shouldn't go beyond this session probably. We were just talking beforehand about getting into various graduate schools right after the end of the war and how different it was from what it became later on. I guess maybe I'll-- I'm interested in how you started reading. Now normally I shouldn't talk about myself, but I'll say one thing. I started reading, becoming an intellectual, very suddenly at 14. And it wasn't because of teachers, schools, or parents. My father was a writer and had thousands of books. None of them had any influence at all. It was because of the one boy who had always been within walking distance of where I lived and was my age, and I came back from boarding school in Europe and before that we'd been firing our .22 rifles around and playing with toy soldiers and things like that, and bang, he was transformed. He was interested in Marxism and in Hinduism and classical music. And we set up all these things in an abandoned tool shed and got our little study together and the first two books, the key books, were called Erewhon and South Wind, the first adult books I read, 1 and from then on I became a reader.

  • From Theleague
    LINES from the League The Student and Alumni Magazine of the Art Students League of New York Spring 2014 Letter from the Executive Director here has always been a welcoming spirit at the League. Those with an affinity for art know that they are with like-minded people who share T their goals and desires to master their mediums. In such a supportive environment, many of our students choose to remain and study years after first enrolling. In this regard, we are as much a community as we are a school. This is the nature of the League: there are as many reasons to attend the League as there are attending students. The Board and administration recognize the League’s primary mission of providing a program and setting that supports the individual pursuit of art. The outgrowth of our 140-year history is nothing short of staggering; more promi- nent artists studied at the League than in any other institution. The same holds true for our illustrious faculty. League members who credit the League with providing them the most rewarding time of their lives continue to support us through gifts and bequests. We continue to be a sanctuary for artistic discourse and discovery where students learn that there are no limits to what they can achieve through dedication and the practice of making art. We honor those who have shown such dedication. In this issue of Lines, we profile individuals such as instructor Bruce Dorfman, celebrating fifty years of teaching at the League, and artist Eleanor Adam, who came to the League after the death of her son Alex to learn art and rediscover her place in the world.

C.Caswell); published May 16, 1917; $1.50; three copies, two with the stunning dust jacket, now almost exotic in its rarity, with the front flap reading: “Just as THE HARBOR was the story of a constantly changing life out upon the fringe of the city, along its wharves, among its ships, so the story of Roger Gale’s family pictures the growth of a generation out of the embers of the old in the ceaselessly changing heart of New York. How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking
