Reflections of Eva Callimaki-Catargi in the Hoover Institution Archives at Stanford

• In Event: Art and Artists in the Archives?

Abstract

Romanian Aristocrat who spent most of her life in Paris, Eva Callimaki-Catargi’s influence has a strong presence in the art collections of her son Nicolas de Basily in the Hoover Institution, Stanford. She was a distinguished art collector, art historian, author, and student of Rodin and Henri Fantin-Latour. While not well known today, her aesthetic and work provide an international context for some of the Russian art and book treasures at Stanford University.
