Imagine this nightmare assignment:
You must locate every art magazine published in 19th century America - no matter how rare or how long it takes to find them. Then, you must read every single article in each magazine. And most important, you must take notes every time you come across an artist's name, geographical place, or any type of subject matter!
Well, it took more than 20 years, but this extraordinary feat was accomplished by noted art librarian, Mary M. Schmidt, and her team of graduate students. For the first time, every article in every issue of every art magazine that appeared in nineteenth century America in thoroughly indexed!
This massive volume is made up entirely of two indexes. In the CITATIONS section, the magazines appear in alphabetical order, issue by issue. There are more than 27,000 citations for these magazines. Researchers will find descriptions - some short, some longer - of the articles within each issue. Some magazines lasted longer than others; therefore, some contain a much larger quantity of data than others. Each article in each magazine has its own unique citation number.
The INDEX lists the names of artists, authors, and the other primary subjects that are found in the main CITATIONS. For example, when an artist's name is the main cross reference, it will be followed by a column listing all the basic subjects in various magazines that relate to that artist - and each of these subjects is tagged with the cross-reference number of the magazine from which it is directly derived.
An essential set for every art reference library and every individual serious about their research.

former head art librarian emeritus, Marquand Library Princeton University.

Herrmann [1866-1942] was an American who was best known in Germany because he spent much of his artistic career there. This biography traces the development of his style from a Beaux-Arts academic realism to Impressionism, to the "New Objectivity." He was a founding member of two important groups of the German avant-garde centered in Munich: the New Secession of German Artists and SEMA. His close friendships with Paul Klee and Alfred Stieglitz are illuminating. After WWI he returned to the U.S., but only allowed his work to be exhibited a few times, in New York, shortly before his death.
