    • Kudos to LACMA's New "Reading Room"
      Fellow art historians, can we ever get enough full and free access to sources? No. No, we cannot. In fact, I suspect that if we had our druthers, every text, dissertation, thesis, review, critical essay, exhibition and/or auction catalogue would live online in full (including footnotes) 24/7/365, forever and ever, amen.

      Towards this is end, please join me in sending a collective namaste to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on its recently-launched Art Reading Room. The Reading Room's initial offerings are comprised of ten exhibition catalogues, mostly from the 1960s, and each is a gem. As in: hard to find, probably long out of print, and good luck to you if you're attempting to borrow them through Inter-Library Loans.

      I've spent several hours today happily engrossed in Maurice Tuchman's New York School: The First Generation, Paintings of the 1940s and 1950s (1965), which is overflowing with verbatim quotes and group statements from Motherwell, de Kooning, Gorky, Rothko, Kline, Hofmann, et. al., and contemporary critical essays from Greenberg, Rosenberg and Shapiro (amongst other titans). Folks, it just doesn't get any better than this if you, like me, feel your geeky heart rate accelerate over the thought of getting your grubby little mitts on art-historic research.

      As a huge bonus, all of the ten catalogues are offered "to go," meaning that you can download and save each in .pdf form. I prefer this myself, because it means I can resize the page to fit my monitor and use the search function at my leisure. As a warning--and, no, I am not warning you, you good Netizen--all copyright restrictions still apply, just as if one were reading a physical copy in one's local library. I mention this only because a few bad apples out there continue to believe that everything s/he finds on the Internet exists to lazily appropriate at will, with nary a thought about Fair Use laws or citing sources.

      Anyway, please enjoy, and huge thanks to LACMA. Paying technicians to accurately scan full texts and hosting bandwidth are both expensive, so it behooves us to stand and applaud ... and pray that other institutions will follow suit as time and funds permit.

    • Do You Think Exhuming Leonardo's Corpse Is a Good Idea?
      Public Domain image courtesy Wikimedia Commons

      Have you heard that a group of scientists and historians from the Italian National Committee for Cultural Heritage are seeking permission to dig up Leonardo's corpse? Yes, as reported in The Telegraph yesterday, it's true. You, like me, may now be asking yourself, "But, why? Do Leonardo's remains hold the key to a cure for cancer?" Would that this was the case but, sadly, no. The merry band of diggers are hoping to find the Master's skull in order to recreate his face to see if it matches the face in La Gioconda, commonly known as Mona Lisa. Are you listening, Mr. Brown? Do you see the miracles you have wrought with your keen art-historic insights?

      I won't lie, I'm having a hard time with this. The curiosity end doesn't seem to justify the expensive means. On the other hand, I doubt that Leonardo would have had a problem with this plan. He was a scientist, after all.

      What do you think? Please take our poll and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
