Edited by Rachel A. Dressler
The Art Institute of Chicago Museum Studies, published twice annually, presents articles on the collections and history of the Art Institute. This issue is devoted to the art of the early twentieth century. A masterpiece by Henri Matisse, Bathers by a River is examined; another article explores Matisse’s relationship with the Russian collector Sergei Shchukin. Other essays discuss Katharine Kuh, the museum’s first curator of twentieth-century painting and sculpture; Lovis Corinth’s late self-portrait; and a projected but never realized project for Chicago, Constantin Brancusi’s Endless Column.
