The Fine Arts Department at Harvard
Fogg’s Philosophy of Art Pedagogy Neglects Artists’ Articulateness
by Paul W. Schwartz
This article critically examines the teaching philosophy of the Fogg Art Museum's Fine Arts Department. The author argues that the department, under the influence of its then-chairman, Professor John Coolidge, and reflecting a broader institutional philosophy ("Fogg’s philosophy"), undervalues the importance of artists being able to articulate their own ideas and intentions. The article contends that this approach treats art as a purely visual, non-verbal medium, ignoring the intellectual and conceptual depth that artists can (and should) express through words. It criticizes the department for not preparing students to discuss their own work or the ideas behind it, calling this a significant pedagogical shortcoming.
Key points from the article include:
That philosophy of art which has been played down at Fogg was summed up by Picasso in two sentences: “To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all.” Too often students go to Fogg merely to look at pictures in their historical perspective.

'Too often the only approach to art is past or future art. It has been played down at Fogg was summed up by Picasso in two sentences: 'To me it is not art if it is not the present.'
