| Description: |
The William Homer Papers related to Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847-1917) consist of six linear feet of material including correspondence, photocopies, photographs, notes, reviews, and miscellaneous research materials. The collection spans the years 1883 until 1999, with the bulk of the material dating from 1980 to 1989. It was during this time that Homer conducted the majority of his research related to Ryder. This research led Homer to collaborate with Lloyd Goodrich of the Whitney Museum of American Art on the publication of Albert Pinkham Ryder: Painter of Dreams in 1989. The collection is organized into five series: I. Research Materials, 1957-1999; II. Ryder Archive; III. Albert Pinkham Ryder: Painter of Dreams; IV. Albert Pinkham Ryder Exhibition, 1990; and V. Other Projects. |
