This project has benefited greatly from exchanges with scholars and students at Bowdoin College and beyond. In particular, we want to acknowledge Elizabeth Athens, Susan Danly, Linda Docherty, Kathleen Foster, Abigail Booth Gerdts, Eleanor Harvey, Mike Kolster, Rodney Laughton, Philip Von Stade, and John Wilmerding. Also, Catherine Cyr ’17, a summer intern at the Museum in 2015, provided invaluable research assistance at a critical moment. Students enrolled in the spring 2016 art history course “Winslow Homer and American Art” pushed this project along through their probing questions and insightful analyses regarding Homer’s art and legacy. A two-day symposium at Bowdoin in 2016, co-sponsored by the Department of Art History and the office of the Dean for Academic Affairs and entitled “Across the Divide: Intermediality and American Art,” was especially enriching, and we are thankful for the presentations and conversations on that occasion with others who are exploring the historical exchange between different artistic mediums.
We are pleased to be able to travel this exhibition after its presentation in Brunswick to the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Our thanks to Thomas Padon, the James H. Duff Director, for his enthusiastic support of this project.
For assistance in the development of this catalogue, we are grateful to the editorial staff of Yale University Press. To Amy Canonico, Mary Mayer, Raychel Rapazza, and Kate Zanzucchi, as well as to freelance copyeditor Jane Friedman, proofreader Maddy Kloss, and indexer Cathy Dorsey, thank you for the care you have shown in guiding this volume to publication. Also, our appreciation to Laura Lindgren, who created the catalogue’s design.
Closer to home, we thank numerous colleagues at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, including John Eric Anderson, Caroline Baljon, Rebekah Beaulieu, Suzanne Bergeron, Anne Collins Goodyear, Michelle Henning, Jo Hluska, Joachim Homann, Laura Latman, Liza Nelson, Steve Perkins, José Ribas, Ellen Tani, and Honor Wilkinson. At Bowdoin College, our thanks to Michael Archibald, Allison Cross-cup, Scott Meiklejohn, Ann Ostwald, Heidi Peterson, and Jennifer Scanlon. As always, we thank Dean for Academic Affairs Elizabeth McCormack and President Clayton Rose.
While nearly two-thirds of the works in the exhibition derive from the Museum’s collection, twenty-five institutions and private collectors have generously lent works that have added complexity and nuance to this presentation.
