Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Signatures are unique and often reveal something of our individual personalities. In this intriguing book, John Wilmerding-an eminent historian of American art-explores the unconventional use of signatures in paintings. The author focuses on American artists who have not simply signed their works on a corner of the canvas but have intentionally placed their signatures within the pictorial space of the painting. A painter’s name or initials might, for instance, appear as an illusion on a wall or floor, on an object within an interior, or on some form in a landscape. Wilmerding examines such signatures in works by twenty-seven artists from the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, including John Singleton Copley, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, Jasper Johns, Andrew Wyeth, and Richard Estes. After providing an overview of signatures in European art, Wilmer-ding looks closely at American painting. He argues that by placing a signature within a painting the artist may be making an explicit association with the setting or situation depicted. He demonstrates that such signatures or inscriptions can be viewed as fragments of autobiography or as concentrated glimpses of self-representation. Beautifully designed and handsomely illustrated, this book brings into focus the myriad and complex meanings of artists’ signatures and is of interest to anyone who admires and studies American art and culture.About the Author
John Wilmerding is Christopher Binyon Sarofim ‘86 Professor of American Art in the Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University and visiting curator in the Department of American Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is the author of many books and articles on American painting and was recently reappointed by President George W. Bush to the Committee for the Preservation of the White House.

Gearing up for Mountain Biking
April 4, 2008
I’m not trying to be self important. I’m simply indulging myself in dumping things here that make the mundane seem… less mundane.
My question for you is why didn’t you lend her The Collective too? For shame, for shame! 
BTW – Those guys have a new film coming out later this month called Seasons. And yes, I’m a mountain biking geek…

Why are we so hard on ourselves and each other? My biggest feeling of failure is when a relationship ends, despite the new ones that have begun. There’s so much time spent in getting to know someone and investing emotion, but it can be quickly disposed of. Should I feel like the failure or should I be mad at the other person for their lack of regard for how much time we’ve invested in each other? We’re all just a bunch of organisms bumping into each other, sizing each other up and comparing our lives to each other’s. There will never be a day when we can all reconcile our flaws with intention and preserve any kind of relationship with one another simply to honor the amount of time we spent in the little, finite window of life getting to know one another.
Go Robbie!

Sorry Albert, didn’t mean to offend. You can come on strong to my brother and return the favor.

I call my brother Gilbert when his real name is Robert. He is going to meet my friend Albert on Saturday night. Albert meet Gilbert, and vice-versa!
Which reminds me of the night I met Alberto’s brother:
After lots of chapagne, swing dancing, and Pirates of the Penzance at my cousin’s big 20th and LEAP DAY birthday, Eric and I went to Pour House. Well I happened to run into my friend Albert who bartends there on Sundays…
For context: a. I’m drinking free champagne b. I’m being giddy from dancing with Eric-le-charmer all night
Albert’s brother-in-law happens to be :

Apparently I was trying to get Mr. Green interested in our program for journalism. Albert called me the next day to tell me I slightly offended his family (sister was there too). I mean, I know you have a kick-ass job, but you’re not Brad Pitt. You should enjoy the attention and intrigue that your job garners.
So for you, Albert, I’m sorry if I offended the fam. But it won’t be the last time I’m offensive in P-U-B-L-I-C. Go ahead and offend Gilbert. I approve.
