Examines the three Harvard art museum collections providing an overview of the collection and discusses technical information and historical interpretation.
This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Drawing: The Invention of a Modern Medium, on view at the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, Massachusetts, from January 21 through May 7, 2017.
This handsome book is the first to appear in a series of three volumes that will catalogue Harvard University's distinguished collection of American paintings. It documents nearly 500 paintings, watercolors, pastels, and stained-glass windows--many of which have never been published before--by artists born between 1826 and 1856. The book features works by Albert Bierstadt, Winslow Homer, John La Farge, John Singer Sargent, J. A. M. Whistler, and Sarah Wyman Whitman, along with numerous less-known but important artists. Entries that draw on new research and scholarship accompany the works. Included is an introduction by Theodore Stebbins, Jr., outlining Harvard's collecting history and an essay by Virginia Raguin introducing Harvard's Memorial Hall and its twenty-one masterworks in stained glass. Also included are eighty-three works by Charles Herbert Moore, artist, educator, and the Fogg Art Museum's first director.
