This carefully curated collection of the writings and speeches of
W. McNeil (Mac) Lowry will provide significant information about
and insight into a remarkable period in the second half of the
twentieth century, when the foundations of the arts as they now
exist in the United States were creatively and firmly laid,
primarily through Lowry's penetrating intellectual perspective and
his strategic organizational acumen as Director of The Ford
Foundation's unique Program in Humanities and the Arts. And many of
the fundamental issues he raised and analyzed-why the arts should
be valued and how they are best supported and governed-are no less
pressing today. The significance of the material is framed and
underscored by a foreword by Darren Walker, President of The Ford
Foundation; an enlightening essay on "W. McNeil Lowry, the Arts and
American Society" by the eminent scholar, Stanley Katz; poetic and
powerful tributes to Lowry by Lincoln Kirstein and Peter Zeisler;
and a context-setting introduction by the editor. Given the
substantive variety and depth of the chapters, the volume will be
of interest to a wide range of scholars and students, artists and
administrators, both within and at the intersection of
philanthropy, the arts, society, public policy and history.
