Earlier this year, Mitchell Frank published an essay on the role of memory in discussions of art theory, practice and education in Wilhelmine Germany. Its focus is on Arnold Böcklin, whose prodigious memory is often cited in accounts of his work. The essay, entitled “‘…he painted everything, so to say, from his head’: Arnold Böcklin’s Great Memory and Artistic Practice in Wilhelmine Germany” appeared in the March 2016 issue of The Oxford Art Journal (vol. 39, no. 1).
