[Republished from a
message by Patrick Leary on VICTORIA].
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has published a beautiful annotated
edition of all of the artist's letters, with English translations, and has
put them online here. I mention this on VICTORIA because of a
little appreciated aspect of Van Gogh's career that these letters thoroughly
document: his enthusiastic interest in the work of contemporary English
periodical and book illustrators. Letters in the 1870s and 1880s to his
father, his brother, and his close friend Anthon von Rappard are peppered
with remarks about Tenniel, Keene, Sambourne, Millais, Sandys, Furniss, Barnard
and many other illustrators (including earlier ones like Leech and
Cruikshank), and especially about their work for The Graphic, Punch, and Illustrated
London News. Even penny papers like The British Workman, as well as American illustrated magazines, come
in for detailed commentary. Anybody who works on, or is interested in,
Victorian wood-engraved illustration will find a great deal of interest in
this long-awaited edition. |

Terra Foundation for American Art International Essay Prize, in partnership with American Art |
|
The Terra Foundation for American Art International Essay Prize recognizes excellent scholarship by a non-U.S. scholar in the field of historical American art (circa 1500—1980). The winning manuscript should advance understanding of American art and demonstrate new findings and original perspectives. It will be translated and published in American Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s scholarly journal, which will also cover the cost of image rights and reproductions, and the winner will receive a $500 award. This prize is made possible by the Terra Foundation for American Art. |
|
The aim of the award is to stimulate and actively support non-U.S. scholars working on American art, foster international exchange of new ideas and create a broad, culturally comparative dialogue on American art. To be eligible, essays should focus on historical American painting, sculpture, prints, drawings, decorative arts, photography or visual culture of the same period. Preference will be given to studies that address American art within a cross-cultural context as well as new ways of thinking about American art. Manuscripts previously published in a foreign language are eligible if released within the last two years. For scholars from English-language countries, only unpublished manuscripts will be considered. Authors of eligible essays are invited to submit their own work for consideration. We urge scholars who know of eligible articles written by others to inform those authors of the prize. |
|
The length of the essay (including endnotes) shall not exceed 8,000 words with approximately 12 illustrations. Manuscripts submitted in foreign languages should be accompanied by a detailed abstract in English. Six copies of the essay, clearly labelled “2010 Terra Foundation for American Art International Essay Prize,” along with the scholar’s name, mailing address, institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and fax number must be received by 15th January 2010, at the following address: American Art journal, Research and Scholars Center, Smithsonian American Art Museum, P.O. Box 37012, MRC 970, Washington D.C. 20013-7012 |

The Paris Letters of
Thomas Eakins. Edited by William
Innes Homer. Princeton University
Press Cloth | $35.00 / £24.95 | ISBN: 978-0-691-13808-4 |
|
The most revealing and interesting writings of American artist Thomas Eakins are the letters he sent to family and friends while he was a student in Paris between 1866 and 1870. This book presents all these letters in their entirety for the first time; in fact, this is the first edition of Eakins's correspondence from the period. Edited and annotated by Eakins authority William Innes Homer, this book provides a treasure trove of new information, revealing previously hidden facets of Eakins's personality, providing a much richer picture of his artistic development, and casting fresh light on his debated psychosexual makeup. The book is illustrated with the small, gemlike drawings Eakins included in his correspondence, as well as photographs and paintings. |
