The A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts were begun in 1952 at the National Gallery of Art in order to bring the best in contemporary scholarship to the public. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the acclaimed series, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts has published this handsomely illustrated documentary volume. The book tells the story of the genesis of the lectureship, featuring essays by a variety of contemporary scholars that discuss the first fifty lecturers—ranging from Jacques Maritain to Salvatore Settis and including such influential speakers as Anthony Blunt, Kenneth Clark, H. W. Janson, E. H. Gombrich, Kathleen Raine, Jacques Barzun, and Arthur Danto—their fields of expertise, and the subject matter and historical context for their talks. These graceful and balanced writings provide a vivid sense of the significance of the lectureship and its participants through commentary, critique, and lively personal anecdotes. 
Elizabeth Cropper is dean of the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

'David’s Farewell to Jonathan' depicts an episode from the Old Testament (1 Samuel XX: 41, 42). King Saul, suspecting his military commander David of wishing to seize the throne, decided to have him killed. Saul’s son, Jonathan, loved David 'as his own soul’ and told him of his father’s plan, to allow him to escape.

35次日清早,約納堂按照他與達味的約會,往田間去了;有個僮僕跟隨著他。
36他對那僮僕說:「跑去,找我所放的箭!」僮僕往前跑時,他又向前射了一箭。
37當僮僕來到約納堂的箭所射到的地方時,約納堂就在僮僕後面喊說:「箭不是在你前面嗎?」
38約納堂又在僮僕後面喊說:「趕快跑去,不要站住!」約納堂的僮僕就拾了箭,給主人拿來。
39那僮僕卻不知道是什麼意思,只有約納堂和達味知道。
40然後約納堂把自己的武器交給跟隨他的僮僕,向他說:「帶回城去罷!」
41僮僕走後,達味就從石堆旁起來,俯伏在地,拜了三拜;以後他們彼此相吻,二人相抱對泣,達味哭得更甚。
42最後,約納堂對達味說:「你平安去罷!照我們兩人以上主的名所起的誓:願上主永遠在我與你之間,在我的後代與你的後代之間!」

John Anthony Baldessari (born June 17, 1931) is an American conceptual artist known for his work featuring found photography and appropriated images. He lives and works in Santa Monica and Venice, California.
Initially a painter, Baldessari began to incorporate texts and photography into his canvases in the mid-1960s. In 1970 he began working in printmaking, film, video, installation, sculpture and photography.[1] He has created thousands of works that demonstrate—and, in many cases, combine—the narrative potential of images and the associative power of language within the boundaries of the work of art. His art has been featured in more than 200 solo exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe.[2] His work influenced Cindy ShermanDavid SalleAnnette Lemieux, and Barbara Kruger among others.[3][4]

Two Beauties in a Garden, detail
Gai Qi (Chinese: 改琦; zi Bowen 伯蕰, hao Qiliang七郎, secondary hao Yuhu waishi 玉壶外史 1774-1829) was a poet and painter born in western China during the Qing dynasty. As an artist, he was active in Shanghai. In painting his works mainly concerned plants, beauty, and figures. However he also did numerous landscapes. In poetry he preferred the rhyming ciform and added such poems to his paintings.
His social circle included prominent literati as well as artists. He organized both a literary society and a Buddhist lay society. His work often used a delicate baimiao (outline) style, which can be clearly see in his illustrations for Honglou meng, (Dream of the Red Chamber).[1] The illustrations are chiefly portraits of the main characters in the novel. Numerous poets, including the renowned woman poet Zhou Qi, wrote poems to accompany the illustrations.[2]
The scholar Wang Qisun 王岂孙 commissioned Gai Qi to paint an album of famous Chinese women, both historical and legendary. Wang's second wife, Cao Zhenxiu 曹贞秀 wrote poems about the women and did the calligraphy in the album.[3] Gai took as a student the talented woman painter and poet Qian Shoupu 錢守璞(ca. 1801-1869).[4] He was associated with the painter Fei Danxu 费丹旭 in what has been called the "Gai Fei" school. Gai's grandson continued the tradition of the Gai Fei school, along with descendants of Fei Danxiu.[5] He is perhaps best known today for the Hongloumeng tiyong, a book of portraits of characters in Dream of the Red Chamber accompanied by poems about the characters. The book was based on paintings done by Gai Qi, but was not published until 1884, long after its death. The book is still in print.
