This is the latest volume in the annual publication that showcases the work of the Getty Research Institute. This annual publication showcases work by scholars and staff associated with the Getty Research Institute and the other programs of the prestigious J. Paul Getty Trust. Getty Research Journals offers peer-reviewed essays that focus on an object or aspect of the Getty's extensive archival, rare book, and artistic holdings or that relate to the annual research themes of the Research Institute and the Getty Villa. This issue features essays on Florentine painter Carlo Dolci; 19th-century French academic artist Elie-Honore Montagny; the relationship between David Octavius Hill's painting practice and early photography; an early photographic album of Tehran; Orientalism at the universal and colonial expositions; previously unknown drawings by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner of the Apocalypse; and a pair of essays about the recently restored mural America Tropical by David Alfaro Siqueiros. Two essays detail recently developed tools of scholarship: the Getty Research Portal and the immense collection of Max Hutzel's photographs of Italian art and architecture.
Short texts include a trio of essays about medieval manuscripts; essays on educational materials published by the Milton Bradley Company; a letter by Umberto Boccioni; debates between Allan Kaprow and Claes Oldenburg; and Russian mail art.
