Soby, James Thrall, 1906-1979. James Thrall Soby papers, 1928-1975 (bulk 1935-1955).

Title: James Thrall Soby papers, 1928-1975 (bulk 1935-1955).

The Soby papers document his nearly 45-year career in 20th-century art scholarship and criticism. Materials date from about 1929 when he became a third partner in Edwin Valentine Mitchell, Inc., booksellers and publishers, to his retirement from the board of trustees at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 1975. The bulk of the material is from 1935-1955, when Soby was most active, and primarily consists of correspondence from 20th-century artists and photographers, MOMA personnel, curators, critics, friends and family members. Series I. Correspondence (3 lin. ft.): Arranged alphabetically, includes many detailed letters from artists about their work, art theories and personal matters; letters about MOMA business, exhibitions at MOMA and elsewhere; comments about Soby monographs; and letters about the sale of art works to Soby and financial support for artists. The files also contain drawings, small art works and collages, photographs and manuscripts. Series II. Eugene Berman correspondence (1 lin. ft.): Letters from the artist (1932-69, bulk 1935-45) arranged chronologically with a separate substantial file of his drawings. Many of the letters concern his design and decoration of the dining room of Soby's Connecticut house. Other letters are about Berman's work in general, his anger over MOMA's treatment of him and other expatriates involved in the Neo-Romantic movement, his relationship with Julien Levy, and his promotion of other artists' work. Some of his drawings are in Berman's "trompe l'oeil" manner and were sent as letters to Soby. Series III. Peter Blume material (.5 lin. ft.): Correspondence, arranged chronologically (1940-56, bulk 1940-45), from Blume about his paintings, his early life and career, and personal matters. There are a few letters from his wife Ebie. Also included are a pencil drawing and a small landscape painting, and manuscripts about Blume by Soby.
