The Author: Charles E. McClelland obtained his BA (Hons) at Princeton in German and European Studies in 1962, his M.A. from Yale in 1963 and his Ph.D. also from Yale 1967, both in history.

«Professor McClelland presents a great deal of interesting material based on broad knowledge of the primary and secondary literature, backed by research in a number of archives. His discussion throughout is informed and sophisticated, and his particular perspective, centered but by no means limited to the processes of professionalization, throws a useful light on the complex relationships between tradition and varieties of modernism in German society and the fine arts over the past two centuries.» (Peter Paret, Central European History)«The book is an excellent survey that will appeal to historians of both Germany and the arts.» (Robin Lenman, Journal of Modern History)«McClelland's book will become required reading for scholars and graduate students interested in the professionalization process and artists in Germany.» (Joan L. Clinefelter, American Historical Review)«McClelland's book is an admirable addition to the literature on artists and the art world in Germany.» (Jonathan Osmond, The Art Book)
