Series 16 : Oral History Transcripts , 2002-2007
0.7 Linear feet
Box 59
Oral histories were conducted by Avis Berman for the National Academy of Design from 2002-2007. The comprehensive interviews are with Academy members and cover all aspects of the artists' lives, including family, early life, beginning career, mentors, contemporaries, influences, patrons, awards, residencies, as well as the artists' relationships with the Academy. Some oral histories were untaken by the Abbey Fund, and deal at length with the artists' murals, including Ellen Lanyon and Richard Haas. Some narrators played an active role in the Academy, occupying leadership positions on the board or various committees. The interview transcripts provide first-hand accounts of the Academy, particularly from circa 1940 up to the time of the interview. Topics addressed include the Academy's history, reputation, place in the 20th century art world, race and diversity, projects and initiatives, funding, and leadership.
