A publication prepared for the first international exhibition of the paintings and drawings of the arch academic painter Dagnan-Bouveret in over one hundred years. The show (and publication) were prepared in conjunction with the Dahesh Museum of Art; the exhibition was held in New York City at the National Academy of Design while the Dahesh Museum's new home was being prepared. The exhibition demonstrated Dagnan-Bouveret's crucial role during the 1880s in the international diffusion of a photographic naturalism; his turn toward symbolism was also chronicled in the show and publication demonstrating the diversity of Dagnan's approach.
Against the Modern, Dagnan-Bouveret and the Transformation of the Academic Tradition, New York: Dahesh Museum of Art and New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 2002.
