The art historian and art dealer Eric G. Carlson (1940-2016) was a noted specialist in French and
American prints and drawings of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
A mediaevalist by training (Ph.D. Yale University), and professor at the State University of New York at
Purchase from 1978 to 2006, Carlson brought a scholar's acumen to his exploration of lesser-known
fields and figures of French art. His library reflects this, being exceptionally rich not just on the major
artists of the era, but on the many painters and printmakers who remain to this day little known to the
general public. Its coverage of the art of Romanticism, Realism, and Post-Impressionism, with very
impressive concentrations on Géricault, Delacroix, Courbet, Degas and Gauguin, among others,
is
matched by a fascinating depth in the Symbolist and Nabi movements and the School of Pont-Aven, and
the myriad Academic and Salon artists, illustrators and caricaturists who flourished between the start of
the Second Empire and the end of the Third Republic. The library is unusually complete and sophisticated
in the documentation and critical study of all aspects of the period, with rare exhibition and auction
catalogues, and scarce early monographs, as well as the latest academic scholarship. Also included in it
is a substantial component on the history and literature of World War I,
and its repercussions on French
society.
