DOUGLAS CUSHING is a Ph.D. candidate in art history at the University of Texas at Austin. His dissertation, provisionally titled “Interwar Romanticism, Revolution, and Modernism on Display in transition,” treats Eugene Jolas’s little magazine, transition (1927–1938), as a virtual gallery space and meeting place. The project also explores the transatlantic transmission, circulation, and transformation of avant-garde ideas via the periodical, as well as transition's afterlives in the postwar art of the United States. Cushing’s past research includes work on Marcel Duchamp’s relationship with the writings of the Comte de Lautréamont (Isidore Ducasse), beginning before the advent of Dada and Surrealism. Cushing was the 2013–14 Andrew W. Mellon Fellow in Prints and Drawings and European Paintings at the Blanton Museum of Art, where he was subsequently curator for that museum’s exhibition Goya: Mad Reason (June 19 to September 25, 2016). Cushing’s most recent awards include the 2017–18 Houghton Mifflin Fellowship in Publishing History, from the Houghton Library at Harvard University, and a University Graduate Continuing Fellowship from the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the 2018–19 Vivian L. Smith Fellow at the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. [return to article]
