While helping to advance his career and cultivate a home in France, Jessie also modeled for the artist’s biblical canvases appearing as the Virgin Mary, Salome, Rachel, and Martha. This essay explores how Jessie Tanner did more than simply support her husband’s artistic career. She served as an inspiration and active collaborator in Tanner’s early twentieth century religious narratives, which celebrated biblical women as a means to promote modern women’s inclusion and equality in Belle Époque society.</p>2024-01-08T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2023 Panorama Submission Portalhttps://pubs.lib.umn.edu/index.php/pan/article/view/5605Looking In, Looking Out2023-07-10T17:56:25-05:00Kevin Hongk.hong@yale.edu<p>This paper focuses on a photographic collage (c. 1902) printed using the cyanotype process onto silk. It contains images of and around San Francisco: the Pacific Ocean, white families at Ocean Beach, Sutro Heights, and Chinese individuals in Chinatown. After first identifying a potential maker, I show how attending to the specificities of this object’s format, process, and materiality allows surprising histories to surface. The photo collage, cyanotype process, and silk manifest the intersection of tourist photography, blueprinting, domestic decoration, the global silk trade, and the Pacific telegraph cable. Reading this object in the context of Chinese Exclusion and US imperialism, I interpret the photo-cloth as a conceptual map that deploys the logics of race and landscape to create a sense of belonging for an assumed white viewer. Conceived as domestic decoration, the photo-cloth looks simultaneously inward and outward, containing the racialized subject while manifesting an expansionist ideology.</p>2024-01-08T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2023 Panorama Submission Portalhttps://pubs.lib.umn.edu/index.php/pan/article/view/5381Philly Necrofutures2023-03-02T14:05:29-06:00Hilary Whitham Sánchezhilary.w-sanchez@purchase.eduSynatra Smithsynatra.smith@philamuseum.org<div><em><span lang="EN">Philly Necrofutures </span></em>is a research initiative and collaborative project between Dr. Synatra Smith, CLIR/DLF Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Curation for African American Studies at Temple University, and Hilary Whitham Sánchez, Assistant Professor of Art History at Purchase College SUNY, to address the lacuna in public and scholarly knowledge around the western and central African artworks held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA). Combining art historical research with data curation and visualization, we have created a robust virtual exhibition that centers African makers by directly grappling with colonial archives. <em>Philly Necrofutures </em>demonstrates the way scholarly research and digital humanities can be used as complementary tools to disrupt the white supremacist, patriarchal paradigms of the galleries, libraries, archives, and museum (GLAM) industry and their attendant lack of support for scholarship on African and diasporic arts by scholars of color, instead centering anti-racist collaborative initiatives.</div>2024-01-08T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2023 Panorama Submission Portalhttps://pubs.lib.umn.edu/index.php/pan/article/view/5643Who Supports American Art Museums? 2023-08-18T15:27:43-05:00Louis Shekhtmanlsheks@gmail.comAlbert Laszlo Barabasialb@neu.edu<p>The rise of open data sources, such as the tax filings by nonprofits, and digital publication of museum annual reports, has enable the compilation and collection of such data in a systemized manner. Here, we use such data sources to track board members and donors involved in supporting art museums in the US, with a specific focus on museums exclusively involved in American Art. We compile three main data sources: (i) tax filings that list overall financial information for museums and their board members, (ii) tax filings by foundations that list their donations to various organizations including art museums, and (iii) scraped annual reports of museums where they list key donors. Using these sources we show that several large US museums receive the bulk of support and that American Art museums are a small subset of the US museum space. Interestingly, we find that few individuals serve on more than one museum board, and that most foundation support for museums tends to be from local supporters. Finally, we look at specific foundations focusing on American Art, and find that while they do support museums focused exclusively on American Art, they also support numerous other museums.</p>2024-01-08T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2023 Panorama Submission Portalhttps://pubs.lib.umn.edu/index.php/pan/article/view/5707The Nature and Sources of American Art Museum Funding2023-09-20T14:16:41-05:00Jeffrey Abtjeffrey.abt@wayne.edu<p>None</p>2024-01-08T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2023 Panorama Submission Portalhttps://pubs.lib.umn.edu/index.php/pan/article/view/5738Who Funds American Art?

The couple travels so far but show viewers so little of their trip, save for stilled images, unmade motel room beds, and sad roadside diner hamburgers. The tension between what seems like a documentary and deflective visual and aural strategies can lead viewers to question what is really true - and if we should even care. However, vision is always partial. On road trips this is especially true: we look through rear-view windows and side mirrors, camera lenses and playback screens, foggy windshields and tired eyes. Using the concept of an embodied feminist road trip vision, this paper presses on the potential productiveness of partial, situated knowledge from the space of the road. </p>2024-01-08T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2023 Panorama Submission Portalhttps://pubs.lib.umn.edu/index.php/pan/article/view/5742In Search of Asian-ness in America2023-10-04T09:28:37-05:00Peter Wangpeter.wang@uky.edu<p>Born and raised in Duluth, Minnesota, Wing Young Huie (b. 1955) is the youngest of six children, and the only of his siblings not born in Guangdong, China. In August 2001, Huie and his then wife Tara set out on an extended road trip for nine months in their green Volkswagen Bug. Huie’s photographic road trip is at times reminiscent of the long tradition of seeing and picturing America on the road, as exemplified by his predecessors, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Stephen Shore, Joel Sternfeld, and Baldwin Lee, among them. This article revisits Huie’s “ethnocentric tour” across America, situating his work in this genre of American road photography, focusing on the Asian-ness he encountered and documented during the trip. Through the serendipitous yet ongoing search for Asian American subjects, spaces, and communities on the road, Huie was able to identify things that he might share with his subjects. Huie’s work invites the viewer to contemplate on the duality, fluidity, and hybridity between the foreign and the familiar, a hyphenated America encountered and experienced during a cross-country road trip. </p>2024-01-08T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2023 Panorama Submission Portalhttps://pubs.lib.umn.edu/index.php/pan/article/view/5315Sensing Pollution2023-03-05T07:46:42-06:00Vanessa Schulmanvschulma@gmu.edu<p style="font-weight: 400;">Inspired by recent art historical discussions of environmental justice, this article examines images of the New York City waterfront, specifically the areas around the urban waterways of Newtown Creek and the Gowanus Canal, to examine how industrial air pollution became a major topic of concern in the last quarter of the nineteenth-century. While the toxic legacy of the heavy industry that shaped this area—most prominently petroleum refining and fertilizer production—remains in its water and sediment, during the nineteenth century the “bad air” produced by the sites was the largest concern. This article explores how air may be rendered artistically in both painted and popular media. In particular, it explores how the visual depiction of “bad air” around New York City attempted to render the multisensory, dangerous experience of inhaling airborne pollution in a period when it became increasingly difficult for New Yorkers to avoid the environmental consequences of the city’s rapid industrial expansion.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Placed within a larger discussion of the visual culture of air in the late nineteenth-century United States, this essay juxtaposes painted representations of New York’s industrialized harbor by the celebrated artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916) with more polemical journalistic illustrations and texts that attempted to make visible the sensory experiences and consequences of breathing “bad air.” The result shows how nineteenth-century responses to the effects of air pollution differed according to the aesthetic and cultural goals of visual producers, from “fine art” painters to more socially-oriented journalists and illustrators.</p>2024-01-08T00:00:00-06:00Copyright (c) 2023 Panorama Submission Portal
