  • Archives and the Refusal of Visibility

    Rebecca ZorachARTICLEArchives of American Art Journal2026

    This essay explores the difficulty of handling archival absences in relation to Blackness and Queerness during an era—the early twentieth century—when the intersection of these identities was difficult to occupy publicly, even as it could be hinted at aesthetically. My article focuses on photographs in Archives of American Art’s Ellis Wilson Papers, considering the photographic medium itself, the incomplete traces the papers offer of now-lost wor…

  • Treasuries of Loss

    Rebecca ZorachARTICLEOxford Art Journal2016

    I spent a summer in Paris the year before I entered graduate school, staying in a Catholic hostel on the Ile St Louis. From that summer I do not remember much, but I do remember a conversation with a German student who asked what I planned to study: ‘Medieval art history’, I said. ‘But how can that be?’ she asked. ‘You’re American. You had no middle ages. There was nothing there.’ There was double assumption here: first that all the years before …

  • Desiring Things

    Open AccessRebecca ZorachARTICLEArt History2001

    This article traces various circuits – of allegory, history, viewership and desire –around the infamous sixteenth‐century French painting known as the Portrait of Gabrielle d’Estrées and one of her Sisters . It addresses not specific collecting practices, but the desires that might underlie them, attempting to theorize the intersection of desires for material objects and for bodies. What might a culturally specific understanding of this intersect…

  • Despoiled at the Source

    Open AccessRebecca ZorachARTICLEArt History1999Cited by: 2

    This article argues for the possibility of combining psychoanalytic and materialist approaches to Rennaissance visual culture. It addresses the eroticism of both figure and facture of Titian’s Diana and Callisto , using Julia Kristeva’s and Judith Butler’s theories of the abject. It compares the positions of figures in the painting with contemporary representations of exorcism and examines the occluded associations of the goddess Diana with witch…
