Description
The Drawn to Art Fellowship is part of the American Antiquarian Society’s one- to two-month residential academic research fellowship program. It supports research on American art and visual culture, as well as other scholarly projects that make substantial use of graphic materials as primary sources. Funding was provided by Diana Korzenik, a painter, author, and historian of art education.
The fellowship provides time to use the Society’s library collections for research and writing in Worcester, Massachusetts. Past projects demonstrate a broad scope, including portraiture and mourning, pictures and politics in the American Revolution, Civil War visual culture, architectural prints and photographs, data visualization, early American bindings, and the use and reuse of artists’ materials.
