Elfriede Knauer has an incredible range of knowledge in the ancient (and even somewhat modern) art world and history. She has travelled well beyond the normal compass of the archaeologist; she is expert in the culture of China, the Russian steppes, Persia and Iran and the ancient Greek and Roman world. She wrote a book on the Silk Road, which she has personally travelled. Dr. Knauer has written on such a variety of subjects that only a perusal of the titles of her publications can give an idea of what this scholar can control. Born in Germany, Dr. Knauer earned her Ph.D. from Frankfurt University and is currently a Consulting Scholar in the Mediterranean Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. She is a member of the Archaeological Institute of America and was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1999. | |

Professor Krauss' attempts to understand the phenomenon of modernist art, in its historical, theoretical, and formal dimensions, have led her in various directions. She has, for example, been interested in the development of photography, whose history-running parallel to that of modernist painting and sculpture-makes visible certain previously overlooked phenomena in the "high arts," such as the role of the indexical mark, or the function of the archive. She has also investigated certain concepts, such as "formlessness," "the optical unconscious," or "pastiche," which organize modernist practice in relation to different explanatory grids from those of progressive modernism, or the avant-garde. | |

Lewis Lockwood is an American music historian. He has worked primarily in two fields: music and culture in Italy from c. 1400 to 1600; and the intensive study of Beethoven’s life and music. Lockwood was born in New York City in 1930 (by chance on Beethoven’s birthday), was trained as a cellist and continues to be active in chamber music. After attending the High School of Music and Art, then Queens College, he did his graduate studies at Princeton University with Oliver Strunk and others (Ph.D 1960). He taught at Princeton from 1958 to 1980, then moved to Harvard University, remaining there until his retirement in 2002. In 2010 he accepted appointment as Distinguished Senior Scholar in Musicology at Boston University.
Having been swept into Renaissance studies in his undergraduate years by Edward Lowinsky, his first area of scholarship was Italian music history of the 15th and 16th centuries. His dissertation on the north Italian 16th-century composer Vincenzo Ruffo showed the influence of church patronage on style in sacred music. His later work included numerous articles on sacred and secular music, culminating in his major book, Music in Renaissance Ferrara, 1400-1505 (1984, rev. 2009) This book was the first fully documented study of the rise of this important musical center, and received the Howard Marraro Prize of the Society of Italian Historians in 1985. In 2008 Lockwood received the Paul Oskar Kristeller Award from the Renaissance Society of America, and he holds honorary degrees from the Universita degli Studi di Ferrara, New England Conservatory, and Wake Forest University. In 2019 he shared the Guido Adler Prize of the International Music Association with fellow APS member Margaret Bent, in honor of "scholars who have made an outstanding contribution to musicology."
In the 1960's he turned towards the study of Beethoven, with a special focus on the vast patrimony of Beethoven’s surviving sketches and autograph manuscripts as evidence of his compositional process. Still only very partially known and published, these sources offer unparalleled insight into Beethoven’s methods of composition over his entire lifetime. Lockwood’s essay on the composing score of the cello sonata Op. 69 appeared in The Music Forum, 1970 and later in his Beethoven: Studies in the Creative Process (1992). In 2003 he brought out his Beethoven: The Music and the Life (New York: Norton). which has been translated into six language and was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in biography. This book gives primacy to Beethoven as composer while it also deals with the most salient issues in his life and career. In 2008, in collaboration with the members of the Juilliard String Quartet, he co-authored the book, Inside Beethoven’s Quartets. Most recently he has co-edited, with Alan Gosman, the critical edition of Beethoven’s "Eroica" Sketchbook (2013). He was the founding editor of Beethoven Forum, (1992-2007), the first serial scholarly publication on Beethoven produced in America. Lockwood was named by Joseph Kerman in the New York Review of Books as "a leading musical scholar of the postwar generation and the leading American scholar on Beethoven."
Lewis Lockwood was elected a members of the American Philosophical Society in 2013. | |

One of the world's great archaeologists, Jean J.F. Perrot directed French archaeological missions throughout Iran, Palestine and southwestern Asia during his distinguished career. Among his many accomplishments, Perrot pioneered the recovery and interpretation of background evidence concerning the appearance of a food-producing way of life in southwestern Asia 10,000 years ago, and his brilliant excavations at the open air settlement of Mallaha in northern Israel in effect brought the early Natufians out of caves and into the beginning of village life. His career was interrupted for a period when he was asked to take over work at the great site of Susa in Iran, but Perrot would later happily return to the Levant to continue his work there. Given his wide familiarity with much of the early Near East, Jean J.F. Perrot is held in high esteem for his thoughtful and informed cultural-historical interpretations. He joined the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in 1946 and later became its director. He was Directeur de recherche honoraire at CNRS at the time of his death on December 26, 2012, at the age of 92. | |

Richard J. Powell is the John Spencer Bassett Professor of Art & Art History at Duke University, where he has taught since 1989. After receiving his B.A. at Morehouse College, he earned the M.F.A. from Howard University. Shortly thereafter Powell completed a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship in Museum Education at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and, after a brief teaching stint in Virginia, he entered Yale University, where he received the M.A. in African American Studies and the M.Phil. and Ph.D. in the History of Art. While attending Yale, Powell was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship, which enabled him to conduct dissertation research in Copenhagen's National Museum of Denmark and throughout several Scandinavian countries.
It was during Powell's time at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that he became interested in art criticism and organizing art exhibitions. In 1979 the Studio Museum in Harlem enlisted Powell as guest curator for Impressions/Expressions: Black American Graphics, one of the first art museum surveys of works by African American printmakers. After Powell's year in Denmark, he settled in Washington, D.C. where, while completing his dissertation under the auspices of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, he became Director of Programs for the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA): one of several alternative art spaces in the 1980s whose contemporary exhibitions and programs fueled that era's "culture wars."
As a visual artist, Powell has exhibited his prints and drawings in group and solo exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad and, in the 1980s, worked as a periodical and book illustrator, most notably for: The Massachusetts Review; Callaloo; Roseann Bell, Bettye Parker and Beverly Guy Sheftall's Sturdy Black Bridges: Visions of Black Women in Literature (1979); and Jessica Hagedorn's Pet Food and Tropical Apparitions (1981). His works are in the permanent collections of the Bradford Art Galleries and Museums (Bradford, UK), the Library of Congress, the Yale University Art Gallery, and in many private hands.
Richard J. Powell, a recognized authority on African American art and culture, has organized numerous art exhibitions, most notably: The Blues Aesthetic: Black Culture and Modernism (1989); Rhapsodies in Black: Art of the Harlem Renaissance (1997); To Conserve A Legacy: American Art at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (1999); Back to Black: Art, Cinema, and the Racial Imaginary (2005); and Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist (2014). Among the major museums where his curated exhibitions have been presented are the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art, London's Whitechapel Art Gallery, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Along with teaching courses in American art, the arts of the African Diaspora, and contemporary visual studies, he has written extensively on topics ranging from primitivism to postmodernism, including such titles as Homecoming: The Art and Life of William H. Johnson (1991), Black Art: A Cultural History (1997, 2002 & 2021), Cutting a Figure: Fashioning Black Portraiture (2008), and Going There: Black Visual Satire (2020). From 2007 until 2010, Powell was Editor-in-Chief of The Art Bulletin, the world’s leading English language journal in art history. In 2013 Powell received the Lawrence A. Fleischman Award for Scholarly Excellence in the Field of American Art History from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art, and in 2016 was honored at the College Art Association's Annual Conference as the year's most Distinguished Scholar. In 2018 Powell was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. | |
