The Munch Museum



In the spring of 1881, a fledgling Norwegian artist got a crucial bit of encouragement when his cousins hired him to paint an interior scene of their home—a cozy, two-story clapboard house outside the center of what is now Oslo. That artist was Edvard Munch. Read more about this story in this article. https://www.mansionglobal.com/…/inside-an-oslo-home-immorta…

Located in Norway’s capital, the home later was occupied by a woman who fought the Nazis and then by a top actress. It is now listed for about $2.2 million.

Modern Prints and Drawings by Paul J.Sachs 1954《近代素描與版畫》 1976

Modern Prints and Drawings by Paul J.Sachs 1954

近代素描與版畫  杜若洲譯,台北:雄獅圖書,1976


Paul Joseph Sachs (November 24, 1878 – February 18, 1965) was an American investor, businessman and museum director. Sachs served as associate director of the Fogg Art Museum and as a partner in the financial firm Goldman Sachs. He is recognized for having developed one of the earliest museum studies courses in the United States.


Modern Prints and Drawings Tapa dura – 1 Enero 1954

What make Modern Prints and Drawings valuable is not so much the admirable youthful mindedness of the author, as is his capacity to bring bear upon the drawings and prints of our own time his immense, cumulative, first-hand experience as a passionate knower and lover of the art of the past.




 Some of the big names that emerged from his course were Alfred Barr (first director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art), H. W. Janson (who wrote the seminal History of Art textbook still used today), and Perry Rathbone (director of the St. Louis Art Museum and then the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).

 “Some of Sachs’s big core topics are important and a concern today,” Soyoung Lee, chief curator of the Harvard Art Museums, told Hyperallergic, “but with a shifting and broadened focus. For example, on the question of ethics, which Sachs’s Museum Course addressed, museums are ever more conscious of, and actively debate, the ethics and professional responsibilities of how we acquire a work of art.” Today, contemporary museums take greater care researching ownership history when acquiring works for their collections; French museums are currently negotiating a large-scale return of artifacts to Senegal and the Ivory Coast, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art recently turned over a looted ancient Greek vase to the authorities.
