Vastly More Than Brick and Mortar

"This generously illustrated book - a history of the formative years of the Fogg Art Museum - discusses the educational and cultural philosophies behind its conception, its historical, social, and economic circumstances, its teaching activities, its art collections, and its research, library, and technical resources. It also places the Harvard institution in relation to contemporary initiatives in Germany (Aby Warburg's cultural-historical library in Hamburg and the Kunstinstitut at the University of Marburg), Britain (the Courtauld Institute of Art), and the United States (Princeton University, New York University, the University of Chicago, and others). This book combines institutional, intellectual, cultural, and social history, providing a lively portrait of a leading American art institution and the personalities involved in its reinvention."--Jacket.
