The A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts were begun in 1952 at
the National Gallery of Art in order to bring the best in
contemporary scholarship to the public. To mark the fiftieth
anniversary of the acclaimed series, the Center for Advanced Study
in the Visual Arts has published this handsomely illustrated
documentary volume. The book tells the story of the genesis of the
lectureship, featuring essays by a variety of contemporary scholars
that discuss the first fifty lecturers--ranging from Jacques
Maritain to Salvatore Settis and including such influential
speakers as Anthony Blunt, Kenneth Clark, H. W. Janson, E. H.
Gombrich, Kathleen Raine, Jacques Barzun, and Arthur Danto--their
fields of expertise, and the subject matter and historical context
for their talks. These graceful and balanced writings provide a
vivid sense of the significance of the lectureship and its
participants through commentary, critique, and lively personal
anecdotes.
