The Center encourages a variety of approaches by historians, critics, and theorists of art, as well as by scholars in related disci- plines of the humanities and social sciences. The resident community of scholars consists of the Samuel H. Kress Professor, the Andrew W. Mellon Professor, the Edmond J. Safra Visiting Professor, the A. W. Mellon Lecturer in the Fine Arts, and approximately twenty fellows at any one time, including Senior Fellows, Visiting Senior Fellows, Research Associates, Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellows, and Predoctoral Fellows. In addition, the Center supports approximately twelve Predoctoral and Visiting Senior Fellows who are conducting research both in the United States and abroad. The programs of the Center for Advanced Study include fellowships, meetings, research, and publications. ~ ~.!iiii ~ ~ II~I<LI,i!i ~!~i~~i!i -r> .... ~,~ Board of Advisors Jonathan J. G.

The Center welcomed resident fellows to the National Gallery of Art from thirteen countries in the course of the past year. A significant number of these scholars dedicated their research to early modern European art, and their regular visits to the collection were a lively, informal addition to the life of the Center. Other fellows worked on topics ranging from Orissan rock art to ninth-century Apocalypse manuscripts, to the beginnings of Japanese painting history in the seventeenth century, to the question of sensibility in eighteenth- century France, to the aesthetics of aerial vision in twentieth-century America. Several fellows engaged in analysis of aspects of the history of collecting, including the Goncourt brothers' assemblage of graphic images, Herman Goering's appropriation of works of art for his per- sonal collection, and the sequestration of Nazi art in postwar America. Museum architecture in Asia and the United States also received at- tention, including our own East Building. The Gallery and the Center will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the dedication of I. M. Pei's building throughout the coming year. Among the various research projects sponsored by the Center, it is appropriate to single out for attention "The Accademia di San I I
