Getty Research Journal, Number 6

The Getty Research Journal features the work of established and emerging art historians, museum curators, and conservators around the world as part of the Getty's mission to promote critical thinking in the presentation, conservation, and interpretation of the world's artistic legacy. Articles present original research related to the Getty's collections, initiatives, and research projects. Shorter texts highlight acquisitions and tools for scholarship under development at the Getty.

This issue features essays on Florentine painter Carlo Dolci; nineteenth-century French academic artist lie-Honor Montagny; the relationship between David Octavius Hill's painting practice and early photography; an early photographic album of Tehran; Orientalism at the universal and colonial expositions; previously unknown drawings by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner of the Apocalypse; and a pair of essays about the recently restored mural Am rica tropical by David Alfaro Siqueiros. Two essays detail recently developed tools of scholarship: the Getty Research Portal and the immense collection of Max Hutzel's photographs of Italian art and architecture. Short texts include a trio of essays about medieval manuscripts; essays on educational materials published by the Milton Bradley Company; a poem by Umberto Boccioni; debates between Allan Kaprow and Claes Oldenburg; and Russian mail art.
