3.1

Writing Projects, circa 1934-circa 1970
This series documents three of Breeskin's writing projects. There are drafts of, and notes related to, a catalog and a brief guide prepared by Breeskin at the request of Maryland's Governor Ritchie for visitors to the State House in Annapolis, following the 1933 restoration of some of the paintings in the State House.
Records relating to Breeskin's unpublished monograph on Loren MacIver include correspondence between Breeskin and MacIver (primarily copies); correspondence with Breeskin's publisher, the Pierre Matisse Gallery, and others primarily regarding reproductions for the book; research files containing photocopies of correspondence and records related to MacIver's work for the WPA; photocopies of the Museum of Modern Art's file on MacIver's mural done on the SS Argentina; 13 poems, many concerning works by MacIver written by her husband, Lloyd Frankenberg; and manuscript drafts, including a chronology and lists of art works.
Material relating to Mary Cassatt includes copies and typescripts of letters written by Cassatt to Mathilda Brownell, Adaline Havemeyer, Julie Manet, and others, presumably used by Breeskin in her research on Mary Cassatt.
