Junkin, Sarah Caldwell. "The Europeanization of Henry Bacon (1839-1912), American Expatriate Painter," Boston University, January 1986. Advisor: Patricia Hills (1,11)
This dissertation analyzes the multifaceted career of an American expatriate genre and figure painter, watercolorist, and writer who worked in Paris, London and Egypt from 1864 until 1912. By tracing Henry Bacon’s Parisian training and exhibition in yearly Salons, a Europeanized art and style of life emerges. Both his art and his writing reflect post-Civil War ambivalence toward progress by looking to preindustrial communities in Ecouen and Etretat, France, and later in Egypt, for much of his subject matter. The primary evidence of Bacon’s artwork, books, and articles are collected for the first time and woven into the development of his career.
