GUGGENHEIM FUND GIVES AWARDS TO 82
This article details the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation’s announcement of grants totaling $180,000 to 82 scholars and artists for study abroad. It notes each grant averages $2,500 (~$20,000 today) and that awardees represent 20 states and 37 institutions. The page lists the recipients by category:
The article emphasizes the foundation’s mission to support “scholars, painters, sculptors, composers, authors and theatrical artists,” noting that 23 individuals are being honored for the second time.
This article is a cultural critique titled:
“MODERNS” IN THE LOUVRE
It discusses the recent inclusion of major 19th-century French modernist artists — including Monet, Renoir, Sisley, and Pissarro — into the Louvre Museum's collection. The author observes that while some consider this momentous, it actually represents a long-overdue concession to artists already widely recognized for decades. The piece critiques the art world’s delayed institutional acceptance, describing the Louvre’s acquisition as “not the first entry there of Impressionism,” and questions the term “modern” in the context of artists whose work is now over 50 years old.
The article also references other modernists like Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cézanne, and draws a parallel to the progressive Fogg Art Museum at Cambridge, which has maintained a superior collection of 19th and early 20th-century French art, including works by artists like Whistler, Courbet, Goya, and Ingres.
The piece concludes by noting the Louvre’s “stumbling” progress and calls for greater selectivity in future acquisitions, praising “pioneers” who risked artistic integrity for innovation.
