Andrew Carnduff Ritchie (1907-1978) was born in Scotland. When he was 15, his family emigrated to the United States, settling in Pittsburgh. He attended the University of Pittsburgh from 1927 to 1933 at which time he received his MFA degree. A foreign study fellowship enabled him to attend the University of London from 1933 to 1935. He was granted a PhD from that institution in 1935. His field of scholarly interest was English medieval art and 18th century painting. However his career in museum administration shows that his interest in art was far broader than this would seem to indicate. From 1935 to 1942 he held the position of lecturer and researcher at the Frick Collection in New York. During this period he also wrote book reviews for the Art Bulletin and lectured at universities in New York. After his seven-year term at the Albright, he became director of the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, succeeding Rene D'Harnoncourt in that position. From 1957 to his retirement in 1973 he directed the Yale University Art Gallery. He died in Connecticut, August 12, 1978.
In addition to catalogues and articles, his published works, included: English Painters: Hogarth to Constable (1942); Abstract Painting and Sculpture in America (1951); and Sculpture of the Twentieth Century (1953). He received many academic distinctions and was the first American citizen to ever receive a honorary doctorate from the London Royal College of Art (1970). His depth of knowledge and gift for scholarly analysis is evident in many of his letters in this collection.
In June, 1945, Ritchie received a one-year leave of absence from the directors of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy (B.F.A.A.) to serve in the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives Division of the occupying United States 5th Army in Austria. His work recovering Nazi war loot made him in demand on the post-war lecture circuit, particularly in Western New York. Several exhibitions in 1946 and 1947 focused on recovered European art. For his work in Austria he received the Cross of the French Legion of Honor with rank of chevalier. Interesting correspondence in this collection includes letters from Baroness Alphonse de Rothschild documenting the recovery and restitution of Rothschild art and furniture, much of which was chosen during the war for Adolf Hitler's collection, and was found after the war in the famous Altausee salt mine, Salzkammergut, Austria. Ritchie's report to the directors of the Academy on his return, as well as lecture transcripts included in this series, include information about his experiences in Austria and southern Germany.
Series 6 consists of the administrative records of Andrew Ritchie, art director of the A.A.G. from mid-1942 to July 1, 1949. This material continues the general file of correspondence documenting the Gallery's development which comprises Record Group 2. The arrangement of the series remains the imaginative product of the director secretaries' filing habits. The archivist has maintained the original order of the records, which included several unique characteristics. For example, correspondence with people representing institutions, particularly museums, was filed under the city of origin. Likewise, much of the correspondence originating in Buffalo was filed under that heading. Arrangement within folders is alphabetic unless the folder has a subject or name title, in which case arrangement within folders is chronological. The series does not consist solely of Ritchie's correspondence. Records of his predecessor, Gordon Washburn dating from early 1942, and records of Ritchie's successor, Edgar Schenck, in late 1949 are included here. Furthermore, Ritchie took a leave of absence from the Gallery from about June, 1945 to May, 1946. During this period the curator of education Katherine E. Neilson, assumed the acting directorship, and records from this period are included here also. The addition to the staff of Charles P. Parkhurst as assistant curator during the period 1946-47 accounts for other material in this series. It must also be noted here that beginning with the records of 1947, correspondence, reports and notices of B.F.A.A. directors and committees are arranged in Record Group 2. Prior B.F.A.A. records and correspondence will be found in Series 2 of Record Group 1.
Principal correspondence in this collection falls into three main categories. First, correspondence with other museum administrations documents a large number of loans of art from the A.A.G. permanent collection for inclusion in exhibitions. Other correspondence with museums concerns administrative policies, including surveys of institutional practices in American museums; these records document decision-making. The third principal category of correspondence is that of art dealers, usually offering works of art for purchase consideration, but sometimes also documenting loans to exhibitions at the Albright and at private dealer galleries. Also found during processing were a selection of letters from artists, including occasional letters from Yves Tanguy, British artist Edmond Kapp, Josef Albers, and Charles Burchfield, to name a few. Of these letters, those from Kapp and Albers include the most significant or interesting details. Correspondence during the war years documents the Gallery's participation in the war effort, and the extent to which the war permeated nearly every civilian activity and institution. Restrictions on the public's use of automobiles, and increased work-hours in factories had significant effects on museum attendance. The Gallery staff played interesting roles in local war organizations, including the Buffalo War Council and the local American Red Cross. Exhibitions also changed to accommodate new public interests in military life and weaponry.
Major permanent collection acquisitions during Ritchie's directorate include: Daumier's Laundress on the Quai D'Anjou; Reynold's Cupid as Link Boy and other gifts of 18th century English paintings with funds from the Knox family; Seurat's Le Chahut; and Gauguin's Yellow Christ. Significant Room of Contemporary Art purchases include Bracque's Still Life; Tanguy's Indefinite Divisibility; and Mare Chagall's Acrobat. In addition to these acquisitions, the Albright improved the permanent collection by deaccessioning a number of lesser quality artworks at auction in 1943. Records of this event will be found in Record Group 4. Significant exhibitions during this period included the first Charles Burchfield Retrospective (1944), the Maillol Memorial Exhibition (1945), Contemporary British Painting and Sculpture (1946), and the industrial arts exhibition, Good Design is Your Business (1947). Ritchie's curatorial correspondence about exhibitions is included in Record Group 3. The Library has additional biographic information available.
