Weisberg Gabriel P. - L'art Nouveau -

Gabriel P. Weisberg is an American art historian. He is a professor of Nineteenth-Century Art and Decorative and Graphic Arts at the University of Minnesota. Professor Weisberg graduated from New York University in 1963 with a BA and continued his art history education at the Johns Hopkins University, where he was first mentored by Medievalist Adolf Katzenellenbogen (1901-1964) and then by Christopher Gray (b.1915) who specialized in 19th century art. Weisberg's doctoral dissertation was on the 19th century art critic Philippe Burty (1830-1890), a chief proponent of Japonisme in France. In 1978 Editions Geoffroy-Dechaume published Weisberg's critical analysis on the life and work of the 19th century French Realist master Francois Bonvin. Professor Weisberg was a past president of the Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art. In 2004 Professor Weisberg, along with Edwin Becker of the Van Gogh Museum and Evelyne Possémé of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, compiled the exhibition "L'Art Nouveau: The Bing Empire"which took place at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. In 2008 the festschrift "Twenty-First-Century Perspectives on Nineteenth-Century Art: Essays in Honor of Gabriel P. Weisberg" was published by the University of Delaware Press. Included are a series of 30 essays from noted art historians celebrating Professor Weisberg's long and successful career; contributors include: Petra ten-Doesschate Chu (professor of art history at Seton Hall University), Laurinda S. Dixon (professor of art history at Syracuse University), Geneviève Lacambre (curator emeritus at the Musee d'Orsay, Paris), Annette Leduc Beaulieu (director of the Edouard Vuillard Catalogue Raisonné project) and John Zukowsky (chief curator at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum). From December 2008 through April 2009 the Minneapolis Institute of Art exhibited approximately fifty 19th and early 20th century Realist and Naturalist drawings and watercolors from the Weisberg collection in "Expanding the Boundaries: Selected Drawings from the Yvonne and Gabriel P. Weisberg Collection". Today, Professor Weisberg is considered one of the leading authorities on 19th century French Realist and Naturalist art. Since 1967 he has authored over 50 Scopus and Journal publications, 8 books and 21 book chapterson the subject. In addition, he is considered a leading authority on Siegfried Bing (1838-1905), the German art dealer who lived in France and is credited with helping to introduce Japanese art to the West. In 2015 The University of Minnesota Foundation and the Department of Art History established an endowed Fellowship for use by undergraduates and graduate students working on projects with area museums. It is named in the honor of Professor Gabriel Weisberg. ! Uwagi: Obwoluta lekko zarysowana i wytarta. Brzegi stron minimalnie zakurzone.
