About the author and work: A member of the art history generation from the golden age of the 1920s and 1930s, Millard Meiss (1904–1975) developed a new and multi-faceted methodological approach. This book lays the foundation for a reassessment of this key fgure in post-war American and international art history. The book analyses his work alongside that of contemporary art historians, considering both those who infuenced him and those who were receptive to his research. Jennifer Cooke uses extensive archival material to give Meiss the critical consideration that his extensive and important art historical, restoration and conservation work deserves. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, historiography and heritage management and conservation. Jennifer Cooke is a researcher in History of Art Criticism and Museum Studies at the University of Turin. less
