Talk Back: Letters to the Editor

Abstract

We received some stirring, thoughtful letters in response to last issue's Bully Pulpit, "Whither Connoisseurship?" Janet Berlo's letter amounts to a defense of connoisseurship, which she embraces as a valuable tool for developing scholarship on extra-canonical artists and objects. Emerita faculty and graduates of CUNY's Program in Art History met to discuss the controversy at their Americanist Art Salon. Their 'Collegial Response' offers a Bully Pulpit of their own.
