Fiske Kimball: Director, Philadelphia Museum of Art

George and Mary Robert's Triumph on Fairmount: Fiske Kimball and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1959) is based roughly on Kimball's autobiographical jottings, and it provides an anecdotal history of his long and successful tenure at the Museum. This photographic portrait by Arnold Newman on the book's dust jacket shows Kimball in a casual but commanding pose amidst packing crates for works of art and a piece of modern sculpture by Brancusi.
