letter
Description:
"As an art historian, I write about objects; as a art historian interested in the social history of art, I write about objects within a socio-historical context." He is unable to give Joanna specifics about the essay as he has not yet begun writing it, but imagines that some foreign policy issues will be mentioned, specifically John Foster Dulles' policy of brinkmanship. He will possibly address other of HCW's sculptures from the 1950s. Encloses a copy of his article, "Tom Wesselman and the Americanization of the Nude, 1961-1963," Smithsonian Studies in American Art 4 (Fall 1990): 103-127.
