WOID XXII-26 "Why museums would wish to disseminate 'truly radical ideas about art history”'is beyond me, except out of political opportunism. In the case of museums I’m inclined toward 'cynical' over 'naïve;' coming from this particular critic it’s definitely 'naïve' over 'cynical.'”#metmuseum #FrenchRevolution #NewYorkCity #JacquesLouisDavid #ArtReviews #ArtHistory
From John L. Harvey of St. Cloud State University:
"Hi Paul. You'd want to grab a copy of Dowd's 1949-era monograph per J-L David, [David L. Lloyd, Pageant-master of the Republic, Jacques-Louis David and the French Revolution] esp. pp. 156-8 in his notes. He cites the conservative/nationalist Louis Madelin as the original source of the reference [to David as a cynical lackey]."

The day I assume-- February 12? Feliç aniversari amb retard.
It's true of all included in the latest acronym: GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums).
Nice to hear from you, Madam Minister. It turns out we have a birthday in common!
