BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
Milo Merle Naeve was a museum curator, most notably
serving as the first Field-McCormick Curator of American Arts at the Art Institute
of Chicago, where he worked for seventeen years before his retirement in 1991. Mr. Naeve received his bachelor of fine arts
degree from the University of Colorado, where he also met Nancy Jammer, who
became his wife. He received his
master’s degree from the Winterthur Program in Early American Culture in 1955;
his thesis was on Philadelphia artist John Lewis Krimmel. He served in the army and worked at
Winterthur Museum, where he was the founding editor of Winterthur Portfolio; Colonial Williamsburg, where he was curator
of furniture; and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, before joining the Art
Institute of Chicago in 1975, where he was hired to administer the newly-formed
Department of American Arts.
In addition to curating exhibits for the AIC, Mr.
Naeve pursued interests in American painting, sculpture, architecture, silver,
and furniture; later in life, he also became interested in American landscape
gardening, and was researching a book on that subject in the last years of his
life. He lectured widely, and wrote a
number of articles and several books, including John Lewis Krimmel: An Artist in Federal America, Identifying American Furniture: Colonial to
Contemporary (two editions), and The
Classical Presence in American Art.
In 1991, Mr. Naeve was awarded a Lifetime
Achievement Award by the Illinois Academy of Fine Arts. He served on several boards, including the
Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture, the Library Company of
Philadelphia, and the Biggs Museum of Art.
He was a member of a number of professional societies and the Grolier
Club, and was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in London. He died in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, in
2009.
SCOPE AND
CONTENT
Chiefly research papers of Milo M. Naeve, with some
personal materials as well. Of especial
interest are his research notes about Philadelphia artist John Lewis
Krimmel. In the 1950s, Naeve wrote his master’s
thesis on this artist. In 1987, his book
on Krimmel John Lewis Krimmel: An Artist
in Federal America was published. In
the early 21st century, he researched and wrote a paper about a
newly uncovered Krimmel sketchbook. (It
is not known if the paper were ever published, nor is the current location of
the sketchbook known.) Other topics
covered by his notes are Asian influences on American arts, furniture of George
Washington, landscape gardens in America, Louis Comfort Tiffany, American
silver, artist Fidelia Bridges, and others.
For an article comparing New England chairs, Mr. Naeve drew templates of
various parts of various chairs, and those are found in the collection. Mrs. Naeve reported that Mr. Naeve very
rarely wrote a script for the talks he gave; rather, he spoke from his notes
and memory; the notes, slide lists, and slides for some of these talks are
present in the collection. Some
materials pertain to Mr. Naeve’s career at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts
Center and at the Art Institute of Chicago.
