		Pevsner was careful, however, not to talk about politics in public, and in the years after World War II he made the successful transition from an immigrant with a suspect past to a beloved national figure.
		Pevsner recognized that the role of art history, in addition to being a serious subject of its own, was to “uplift” and to serve as “background” and a “parallel to history and modern languages” (161).
		Pevsner's writings are indeed the outcome of, as we would say today, an “inquiring mind,” one neither “compartmentalized” nor limited by the obligations of disciplinarity.

	Nikolaus Pevsner
		Pevsner married Karola Kurlbaum in 1923, the daughter of a distinguished Berlin lawyer.
		Pevsner used his connections in Britain to secure a two-year fellowship, tendered by Philip Sargant Florence (1890-1982) in the Department of Commerce at Birmingham University in 1934, all the while reapplying for positions in Germany despite the warnings of his friends.
		Pevsner's early book on Italian painting for the Handbuch sought to raise the period of Mannerism as an important era in painting, and not simply the "dry years" between the renaissance and the baroque.

	Nikolaus Pevsner
		Nikolaus Pevsner was born in Leipzig, Saxony, into a well-to-do Jewish family.
		Pevsner traced in it the evolution of the 20th-century architecture from several sources - from William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Noveau, and the Victorian engineering and architecture, to Gropius and his Bauhaus colleagues who radically broke with the past.
		Pevsner dismisses the suggestion that Suger (1081-1151), Abbot of St. Denis, was the designer of St. Denis - he was not an architect and did not have special knowledge of construction work.

	About the Series
		Nikolaus Pevsner, an art historian of European standing, conceived the idea of English architectural guidebooks after he settled in England in the 1930s.
		Pevsner was unable to devote much more than a month to visiting each county and the speed at which the books were prepared inevitably led to errors and omissions.
		Over two days speakers explored Pevsner's early life and career, the art-historical background which moulded his writing, the attitudes to architectural writing and topography current in England when the series started, Pevsner's involvement with both the study and preservation of Victorian architecture, and his influence on and relevance for later writing.

	Who was Pevsner? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sir Nikolaus Pevsner was one of the most learned and stimulating writers on art and architecture that the twentieth century has produced.
		Pevsner later became Professor of History of Art at Birkbeck College (University of London), Slade Professor of Fine Art at Cambridge and a Gold Medallist of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
		Pevsner's considerable academic achievements were complemented by an active interest in conservation issues; as a founder member, and later chairman, of the Victorian Society, he did much to promote the study and conservation of Victorian architecture at a time when it was under appreciated.

	Courtauld Institute of Art : Newsletter Archive
		(Pevsner had just settled in England as a refugee from Nazi Germany and was no doubt glad of the money.) My purpose here is to set this episode in a wider context, both of the revival of interest in baroque art in Britain and of the standing of the Institute in its early years.
		For both of them, it was a different path from Pevsner’s who, at about the same time, in the mid-1930s, turned to the origins of the modern movement in architecture and to the history of architecture in England.
		Pevsner’s was the more diverse career, Mahon’s has been the more single-minded, but it is a pleasure to unearth, partly from the Courtauld archives, the debt that the young English scholar initially owed to his slightly older German contemporary.

		Pevsner conceived and edited the Pelican History of Art series (1953-), many individual volumes of which are regarded as classics.
		After moving to England, Pevsner found that the study of architectural history had little status in academic circles, and the amount of information available, especially to travellers wanting to inform themselves about the architecture of a particular district, was limited.
		Pevsner wrote 32 of the books himself and 10 with collaborators, and Work on the series continued after his death.

	Review: Pevsner on Art and Architecture by Nikolaus Pevsner \| By genre \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		One of the glories of Pevsner's nomenclature was that, because it was so comprehensive and subtle - and because, despite the appearance of austerity, he found it hard to resist the urge for the personal and polemical - it never felt reductive.
		For those amateurs who, like me, came to Pevsner as an historical monument himself, and have used him to help illuminate and explain some of the eccentricities and conundrums of English architecture, it is enlightening to hear at first hand the voice that informed all those fine gradations of taste.
		But if it was Pevsner's fellow refugee Ernst Gombrich who gave the British the tools to be art historians, it was Pevsner who disseminated the story of art to the man in the street (and particularly the man intent on gazing up at the skyline).

	Guide to Architectural Guidebooks Part 1: Pevsner
		The Pevsner guides, in short, set, or opened the way to, the optimum standard for intelligent architectural beholding--a standard which, in practice, has all too often been ignored or ill-understood.
		As armchair reading, a Pevsner guide can be a tough slog for the uninitiated; Michelins or Access Guides, they aren't (and sadly, to translate the Pevsners into a more "user-friendly" format would seem like a slap in the face of tradition).
		It may be seen as a vivid statement of a Jeffersonian concept of liberty that the WPAs transcended the bounds of an orthodox architectural (or, even, in the conventional sense, "tourist") guide--and in so doing, they strangely anticipate today's broader, vernacular/anthropology-conscious "cultural landscape" concerns.

	Sir James Thornhill: Sir Nikolaus Pevsner
		It is probably no more than slightly unfortunate that in my edition of Pevsner's stimulating book the preparatory drawing by Thornhill for the Landing of the Prince of Orange at Torbay [1688] is captioned The Landing of George I at Greenwich [1714].
		This is a pamphlet prepared in May 1955, to accompany Pevsner's original series of talks "broadcast weekly from 16 October to 27 November, 1955".
		Thornhill's annotated drawing for the arrival of George I differs greatly from the final grisaille in the Painted Hall.

		Pevsner saw Modernism as a synthesis of three main sources: William Morris and his followers, the work of nineteenth-century engineers, and Art Nouveau.
		The author considers the role of these sources in the work of early Modernists and looks at such masters of the movement as C.F.A. Voysey and Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Britain, Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright in America, and Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner in Vienna.
