Programs

Gallery & Retail Art Administration

Museum Studies: Applied Arts

Museum Studies: Costume & Textiles

F.I.T., located in the heart of Manhattan, is a specialized college under the program of the State University of New York.

The college offers three graduate programs: Gallery and Retail Art Administra- tion; Museum Studies: Applied Arts; and Museum Studies: Costume and Textiles. In all programs, F.I.T. takes advantage of the cultural richness of New York-its museums, galleries, libraries, archives, and professional and industrial resources- to create curricula in which the scholarly and the pragmatic have their place and strike a balance between the academic and the applied.

Gallery and Retail Art Administration offers professional training in the specialized skills required by the art market. The curriculum concentrates on the private art market as it relates to careers in art galleries, auction houses, establish- ments dealing in antiques and objects, and related businesses in the sale and exchange of art. While addressing the relationship between art objects and the practical world, the curriculum calls upon the strengths of the history courses from the Museum Studies program.

The Museum Studies curricula are structured to develop professionals with interdisciplinary backgrounds in conservation, preservation, historical research, and historical styles. The tightly interwoven pair of M.A. programs offers a choice between studies centered on costume and textiles or on the applied (i.e., decorative) arts. Within both, students have the further option of pursuing either a curato- rial or a conservation emphasis.

The tuition for full-time students who qualify as New York State residents is $4,000.00 per academic year; for non- residents, $8,400.00 per academic year. Limited tuition assistance is available. F.I.T is an equal opportunity institution.

NEW BOOKS FROM

THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

Sixteenth-Century Italian Drawings in New York Collections by William M. Griswold and Linda Wolk-Simon

Focusing exclusively on examples from the sixteenth century, which may be described as the great age of Italian drawing, this volume includes 124 prized works from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Pierpont Morgan Library, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, and more than twenty private collections in New York. All the major schools of Italian cinquecento draftsmanship-- Emilia, Florence, Genoa, Lombardy, Rome, Siena, and Venice-- are represented. The volume includes an exceptionally rich presentation of certain artists, including the major members of Raphael's workshop, the Lombard disciples of Leonardo da Vinci, Correggio and Parmigianino from Parma, and the later Roman Mannerists. Each drawing is presented with a substantive discussion that places it in the context of the artist's career and explores the pur- pose for which it was made.

Illustrated Poetry and Epic Images: Persian Painting of the 1330s and 1340s by Marie Lukens Swietochowski and Stefano Carboni, with

essays by A. H. Morton and Tomoko Masuya

The authors of this beautiful new book focus on two fourteenth- century illustrated Persian manuscripts, the Mu'nis al-ahrar, an anthology of poetic devices compiled by Muhammad ibn Badr al- Din Jaijarmi in 1341, and a copy of the Persian national epic, or ShJhnima, composed by the poet Firdausi. The collaborative efforts of the authors have yielded several interesting discoveries about the two manuscripts. Stefano Carboni's essay discusses six dispersed leaves, which originally illustrated chapter 29 of the Mu 'nis al-ahrjr and which were reassembled for an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum. Alexander H. Morton then explores the Persian text of this manuscript and argues for its origins in the artistic center of Isfahan. Marie Lukens Swietochowski interprets the events charmingly depicted in the forty-one extant miniatures that illustrated the Shihnrma manuscript. In addition she relates the manuscript's distinctive and imaginative style to that of Mu'nis al-ahrdr, sug- gesting that both were made in the same place at close to the same time. Tomoko Masuya undertakes the challenge of filling in the lacunae in the Shihnima proposing a reconstruction of the original state of the manuscript. Selected bibliography. 148 pages, 93 illustrations (39 in color), 8 1/2 x 11 in.

The Cloisters Cross: Its Art and Meaning by Elizabeth C. Parker & Charles T. Little

The twelfth-century Cloisters Cross is an astonishing work of art, rich and sophisticated in subject matter, complexity of form, and intellectual content. The volume explores many facets of the cross: its construction, its imagery and inscriptions, the context for its exceptional style and iconography, its theological setting and its use in the liturgy, as well as its place in English Romanesque art. The volume is enhanced by new color and black-and-white photographs of the cross taken especially for the book by Malcolm Varon. Published and distributed outside the U.S. and Canada by Harvey Miller Publishers, 20 Marryat Road, London, SW19 5BD, England.

Petrus Christus: Renaissance Master of Bruges by Maryan W. Ainsworth, with contributions by Maximiliaan P. J. Martens

This important new account of the life and art of the Flemish master Petrus Christus focuses on the physical characteristics of his works as criteria for judging attribution, dating, and his indebted- ness to Jan van Eyck and other artists for the development of his technique and style. Recent archival investigations, the results of which are published here for the first time, form the basis of a sophisticated reassessment of the artist. In addition, Christus is studied in the context of fifteenth-century Bruges, a wealthy and powerful city with a lively cultural life under the rule of dukes of Burgundy. 244 pages, 205 illustrations (62 in color), 91/2 x 12 in.

Picturing a Nation Art and Social Change in Nineteenth- Century America David M. Lubin Lubin examines the work of six nineteenth-century American artists to show how their paintings both embraced and resisted dominant social values. Lubin argues that artists such as George Bingham and Lily Martin Spencer were aware of the underlying social conflicts of their time and that their work reflected the nation's ambivalence toward domesticity, its conflicting ideas about child rearing, its racial disharmony, and many other issues central to the forma- tion of modern America.

A Bitter Truth The Avant-Garde Art and the Great War Richard Cork The trauma of the First World War had an immensely powerful effect on the painters, sculptors, and printmakers who participated in it. This book shows how painters such as Meidner, Kandinsky, Chagall, Nevinson, Hartley, Beckmann, and Kirchner challenged propagandist views of the struggle, producing an extraordinary range of objective, expressionist, or allegorical art that conveyed the immediacy and horror of their experiences and feelings. 230 b/w + 70 color illus. $55.00

Cole, a preeminent landscape painter of the nineteenth-century, is frequently viewed as a romantic artist who invested the American wilderness with religious meaning. In this lavishly illustrated book noted historians and art historians give Cole a broader dimension, presenting him as a man deeply concerned with historical, political, and economic issues of his time. 60 b/w + loo color illus. $50.00 Co-published with the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.

Edouard Vuillard: Painter-Decorator Patrons and Projects, 1892-1912 Gloria Groom

Vuillard, one of the great post-impression- ists, is especially loved for his small easel paintings, but the fabulous large-scale decorative schemes that he created for wealthy Parisian homes are a relatively unknown aspect of his oeuvre.

GERMAN SCULPTURE OF THE LATER RENAISSANCE,

c. 1520-1580 Art in an Age of Uncertainty

Jeffrey Chipps Smith During the Reformation, statues and carv-

ings of saints were condemned by increasing numbers of Protestants as fearsome idols. This meant potential ruin for hundreds of German sculptors whose economic livelihood depended traditionally on church commissions. Focusing on how sculptors adjusted, Jeffrey Chipps Smith offers the first comprehensive examination of the artistic response to the Reformation in Ger- man lands.

ART AND ELOQUENCE IN BYZANTIUM Henry Maguire

Henry Maguire examines the impact of several literary genres and rhetorical techniques on the visual arts of Byzantium. In particular, he shows that the literary embellishments of the sermons and hymns of the church nourished the imaginations of artists, and fundamentally af- fected the iconography, style, and arrangement of their work. Using provocative material previ- ously unfamiliar to art historians, he concentrates on religious art from a. d. 843 to 1453. 72 pages of illustrations.

style, the author also raises important questions regarding Philip II's patronage practices, particularly his requirements for religious art and the extent to which they were met by artists. 41344-3 Hardcover $95.00

The Immaculate Conception in Spanish Art Suzanne L. Stratton Stratton documents the formulation of a definitive iconographic form for one of the most important doctrines of the Catholic Church. This study reveals that the cult of the Immaculate Conception received its impetus from the royal court and that its manifestations by such artists as Velizquez, Zurburin, and Murillo served to propagandize the devotion. 41437-7 Hardcover $55.00

A Royal Passion Louis XIV as Patron of Architecture Robert W. Berger Berger's study concerns the Sun King as a patron of architecture, and surveys major monuments closely identified with him, such as the Louvre, Versailles and the Invalides. It explores how his architectural enterprises, not only objects of delight and functional necessities, served to underscore his absolutist authority. 44029-7 Hardcover $50.00

The Cult of the Avant-Garde Artist Donald Kuspit Arguing that modernist art is essentially therapeutic in intention, both toward self and society, this study also states that

neo-avant-garde, or postmodern art at once mocks and denies the possibility of

therapeutic change in a reinterpretation of modern art history. 46922-8 Paperback about $15.95

The End of the Salon Art and the State in the Early Third Republic Patricia Mainardi Showing that the salon's contradictory purposes, as didactic exhibition venue and art marketplace resulted in its collapse, this text examines the cultural forces involved in the demise of the most important exhibition center in Europe and America in the late 19th century. 46921-X Paperback about $24.95

ic Museum Culture Histories, Discourses, Spectacles Daniel J. Sherman and Irit Rogoff, editors Written from a broad range of perspectives in history, art history and criti- cism, critical theory, and sociology, the essays in this volume go beyond previ- ous institutional analyses to consider

museums as the intricate amalgam of architecture, history, practices and strategies of display, pedagogical and other programs, functioning under the aegis of various governing ideologies. "A stimulating and often brilliant contribution to the rapidly growing literature on the ide- ology of collecting, the structure and dynamics of collection, and the fetishism of objects in modern Western culture. The approaches are new and original, the objects of analysis surprising, and the payoff in cultural self-com- prehension prodigious."

MARTA TRABA

Distinguished-and outspoken-art critic Marta Traba offers penetrating new insights into the work of Latin America's most significant twentieth-century artists. In her first work to be translated into English, she demonstrates that the most conspicuous characteristic of Latin American art is its unvarying aim of using visual images to communicate, not with an artistic elite, but with the public. The book is richly illustrated with more than one hundred full-color reproductions of works by Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, Fernando Botero, Frida Kahlo, Wifredo Lam, and others.
