50th ANNUAL MEETING
College Art Association of America
September 13, 14, 15, 1961   
New York City
(Hotel Biltmore)

The 50th Annual Meeting of the College Art Association of America will take place in the days (September 13-15) immediately following the International Congress of the History of Art, rather than at the customary time in January. The Society of Architectural Historians does not plan to meet concurrently. In view of the breadth of scope of the International Congress, the program in history will be briefer than usual; themes have been chosen which complement those of the Congress, with special attention to American Art. The following sessions are being projected for the program in history:

Medieval Art from Late Antiquity to 1000 - Chairman, Walter W. Horn, University of California, Berkeley.

Renaissance Architecture in Europe - Chairman, David R. Coffin, Princeton University.

Genre Painting, 1600-1900 - Chairman, Julius S. Held, Barnard College.

Art Around 1800 - Chairman, Lorenz E.A. Eitner, University of Minnesota.

Nineteenth Century American Art and Its European Background - Chairman, Milton Brown, Brooklyn College.

American Collecting - Chairman, E.P. Richardson, Detroit Institute of Arts.

American Architecture, 1930-1961 - Chairman to be decided.

The theme of the artist-teacher program will be "The Artist in Europe and America." The following sessions are projected:

The Environment of the Artist - Chairman, Bernard Chaet, Yale University.

Are There Common Areas of Search in Present-day Paintings? - Chairman, Kyle R. Morris, artist, New York City.

--> The Intellectual Education of an Artist - Chairman, George McNeil, Pratt Institute.

A fourth panel will be announced later:

Speakers for the College Art Association program have not been selected finally.  

Further information may be had from the Program Chairman, Dr. James S. Ackerman, 9 S.M. Reunion Hall, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, (history program); and Donald B. Goodall, Department of Art, University of Texas, Austin 12, Texas, (artist-teacher program).
