Career
Eleanor Harvey was born in Washington, D.C., and earned a B.A. with distinction from the University of Virginia, as well as an M.A. and Ph.D. from Yale University, in Art History.[2] She served as curator of American art at the Dallas Museum of Art from 1992 to 2002.[2] In January 2003, she became the curator for the Luce Foundation Center for American Art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum,[3] and served as the museum's Chief Curator from 2003 until 2012. She is currently Senior Curator. Her research interests include 19th- and 20th-century American art, landscape painting, Alexander von Humboldt, Southwestern abstraction, and Texas art.[4] Her most recent exhibitions at the Smithsonian American Art Museum were Alexander von Humboldt and the United States: Art, Nature, and Culture in 2020–2021, The Civil War and American Art in 2012–13, Variations on America: Masterworks from the American Art Forum Collections in 2007, and An Impressionist Sensibility: The Halff Collection in 2006.[5]
Her book, The Civil War and American Art, which accompanied the exhibit of the same name, won the 2012 Southeastern Book Festival Award for Best Art or Photography Book. [6][7]
For her book, Alexander von Humboldt and the United States: Art, Nature, and Culture, (also accompanying an exhibit of the same name) she was awarded the Secretary's Distinguished Research Prize from the Smithsonian Congress of Scholars in 2021. This award targets Smithsonian Museum researchers and carries a $2000 cash prize to be utilized for further research.[8][7]
