The Burlington Magazine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Burlington Magazine is a monthly magazine that covers the fine and decorative arts. Founded in 1903, published in London, it is arguably the most important and prestigious journal of art history published in English.[citation needed] It was launched by a group of art historians and connoisseurs that included Roger Fry, Bernard Berenson and Herbert Horne. Its articles are included on JSTOR.

Their website says, "The Magazine's editors have included two of the twentieth century's most important art critics – Roger Fry and Herbert Read – two directors of the National Gallery – Charles Holmes and Neil MacGregor – and the pioneer scholar of the Caravaggesque movement – Benedict Nicolson. Its contributors form a roll call of twentieth-century art historians and critics from Kenneth Clark, John Pope-Hennessy and E.H. Gombrich to Denis Mahon, Francis Haskell, Theodore Reff, John Rewald, Pierre Rosenberg, Douglas Cooper and David Sylvester. Notable figures from the world of the arts and literature have also made contributions over the years – from Henry James, Osbert Sitwell and Walter Sickert to Georg Baselitz, Howard Hodgkin and Bridget Riley".
