Warhol screen test?[edit]

A Barbara Rose was the subject of a Warhol screen test in 1964.[1] Same person? Rosekelleher (talk) 17:12, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Start Class[edit]

Really? It looks way worse than many stubs, especially the stubs I have created. Not even footnoted. Please explain why this is a Start Class instead of a Stub, someone. This is a very very thin treatment of Barbara Rose.

Thanks Marilyn Nix (talk) 01:44, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good point; needs referencing and lots of work...Modernist (talk) 12:01, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Books missing[edit]

Thesis/Dissertation at Columbia, 1984[edit]

Could we sort out what was submitted, perhaps as Master's thesis and as the final Ph.D. dissertation? Thanks, everyone! Johannes der Taucher (talk) 16:01, 28 December 2020 (UTC

That the already-published works accepted as a “dissertation” were “on the topic of 16th-century Spanish painting” seems inaccurate, and might be an interesting example of how misinformation gets repeated and propitated across various media. Julian Barnes explains in his most recent book about writing biography, how he would probably classify it as an example of a “rumor.”

Rose’s dissertation abstract, submitted to Columbia is recorded in Proquestion Dissertations as:

The bulk of my publications has been in two areas: (a) Modern European and American art and (b) writing criticism of Contemporary art and issues. My art historical studies emphasize the relationship between European and American art. The intention of my publications is to put American art within the context of world art history, rather than to see its evolution as an isolated development. In criticism, I have studied the problems presented by recent art movements (Abstract Expressionism, Pop, "Op", Color Field, Minimal and Conceptual art). My approach has been empirical and pragmatic [...]Johannes der Taucher (talk) 16:59, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Johannes der Taucher, The Dictionary of Art Historians says "Rose never finished her dissertation formally, but in 1984 her essays on art were accepted for a Ph.D. at Columbia." If you have other secondary sources to confirm or deny this, that would be welcome, but this seems to be as good as we can do for the moment. AleatoryPonderings (???)

Hello, and thanks. Agreed, Lee got it right on the Duke site. The notion of Rose's writing about sixteenth-century Spanish art by the 1980s seems off, though. It's easy enough to find a list of the books Rose submitted in 1984 for that. Maybe that's worth a footnote with a long quotation? Best, Johannes der Taucher (talk) 18:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if it's worth the footnote (interested readers can check the ref if they like), but I've removed the bit about Spanish art in the dissertation (unless somehow Miró was meant, but of course he's not 16th century!). The list at OCLC 84093102 is only 20th century. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 18:59, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to say here, too, THANK you for all your work on this important page, btw. Johannes der Taucher (talk) 19:30, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

I like the image, but I think it needs a bit more context as to why this particular work was selected. Espresso Addict (talk) 05:21, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Espresso Addict, This one is probably more appropriate. I've added a caption to clarify. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:36, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
