James Brooks and Charlotte Park papers, 1909-2010, bulk 1930-2010

Correspondence, both personal and professional in nature, is addressed to Brooks and to the couple. There is overlap between general correspondence and other categories. Art correspondence covers exhibitions, loans, commissions, projects; arrangements with museums and galleries; sales and consignments; as well as letters from friends and admirers of his work. Most personal correspondence from friends and colleagues is of a social nature. Teaching correspondence requests that Brooks consider opportunities to teach in various summer programs, participate in studio tours for students, or serve as a visiting artist/critic; also included are a few course rosters.

Correspondence – general and each of the categories designated by Brooks (art, autograph requests, personal, and teaching) – is arranged by year. Additional correspondence is scattered throughout the papers.
