dissertations

Abbot, Janet Gail, "The Barnett Aden Gallery: A home for diversity in a segregated city." Pennsylvania State University, 2008

"The Barnett Aden performed the traditional gallery function of featuring talented emerging artists, but it provided a critical service for African American artists, who had few opportunities to show their work in parity with white artists or even to see evidence of their existence within established art institutions. By placing their work alongside that of honored black predecessors, such as Henry Ossawa Tanner, Edward Bannister, and Meta Warrick Fuller, the gallery validated their artistic identity and situated them within an art historical tradition. "

​Block, Elizabeth. “Respecting hair: The culture and representation of American women's hairstyles, 1865–90.” PhD diss., City University of New York, 2011.


Using an approach that merges art historical and material culture, this dissertation recognizes the centrality of hairstyles in figure painting, both portraiture and genre as well as in the photography of the mid- to late nineteenth century in the northeastern United States. Block considers the specific ways in which artists depicted hair and how that treatment helped achieve their goals. According to Block, Christiana’s salons in Boston are examples of places that played significant roles in the cause of abolitionism by functioning as centers of information.

Holland, Juanita Marie."Co-workers in the kingdom of culture: Edward Mitchell Bannister and the Boston community of African-American artists, 1848–1901.” PhD diss., Columbia University, 1998.


​This dissertation considers the careers of painters Edward Mitchell Bannister, William H. Simpson, and Nelson Primus, and sculptor Mary Edmonia Lewis, probably the largest community of African American artists in a northern city in the mid-century. Bannister, whose life and career encompassed pivotal events in nineteenth-century America’s political and cultural history, functions as the primary focus for this study of African American artistic identity.
