Symposium: Bringing the World to Bloomington: Henry Hope, Paul Sachs, Herman Wells and Modern Art in the University Museum
DATE: November 9, 2012
While completing research towards the exhibition Pioneers and Exiles: German Expressionism at the IU Art Museum, curator Jenny McComas uncovered the unique relationship between three visionaries in the fields of academia and museums – Paul Sachs, Herman B Wells, and Henry Hope. Paul Sachs taught the famed “Museum Course” at Harvard between 1922 and 1948, and served as adviser for the first university exhibition of German Expressionism (in 1930). Herman B Wells, appointed IU’s president in 1937, fostered the arts on the Bloomington campus. In addition, he aided German refugee scholars during the war, and played an active role in the cultural reconstruction of Germany after World War II. Henry Radford Hope, who became the founding director of the IU Art Museum, was a student of Paul Sachs, and benefited from Wells’ support, establishing a program of exhibitions at IU in 1941, and ultimately founding the IU Art Museum. Wells brought Hope to Bloomington on the advice of Sachs.

This symposium brings together scholars who have focused their work on these three visionaries and will speak to heir remarkable careers, while more broadly revealing the close connections between the university and the university art museum, as well as the historical role played by university museums in disseminating information about modern art, especially German Expressionism, in the mid-twentieth century. "

Speakers include David Alan Brown, National Gallery, Washington D.C.; James H. Capshew, IU Department of History and Philosophy and Science; Jenny McComas, IU Art Museum; Carrie Schwier, IU Office of Archives and Records Management
