University Training and Teaching

Born John Edwin Canaday in Fort Scott, Kansas, the son of a Kansas attorney, he moved to Texas with his family at the age of 7. He enrolled at the University of Texas in Austin in 1924, receiving a B.A. degree in French and English literature in 1929. After this he studied painting and art history at Yale University, where he received a Masters degree in 1933. He then began teaching: first, at the University of Topeka (1933-34); then at Newcomb College, Tulane University, New Orleans (1934–36), during which time he married Katherine S. Hoover (1935); then Hollins College, Roanoke, Virginia (1936–38); and finally the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville (1938–50). His stint at the University of Virginia was interrupted by wartime service in the Belgian Congo (as an interpreter, 1943), and afterwards in the Pacific (in the United States Marine Corps, 1943-45). In 1950 he left Charlottesville and returned to Newcomb College, Tulane University, as head of the art school. This lasted until 1952 when Canaday joined the Philadelphia Museum of Art as chief of the education division, a position he held until 1959. It was during this period that he wrote the text for a series of arts seminars published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Art Critic

In 1958 Canaday began writing articles on art for the New York Times, and the following year he became the newspaper's leading art critic. A man of strong opinions, he used his column to accuse the New York school of Abstract Expressionism (the dominant idiom of the day), of lowering the standards of painting. And while acknowledging the skills of artists including Jackson Pollock (1912-56), Willem De Kooning (1904-97) and Mark Rothko (1903-70), he denounced many exponents of this style of modern art, as charlatans. He also condemned the attempts of the arts establishment to brainwash the public into accepting low quality avant-garde art, and singled out the Guggenheim Museum New York and its contents, for special criticism. Canaday's articles scandalized the nation's arts establishment, resulting in a famous "Letter to the New York Times" (1961) signed by a group of influential art collectors, historians and painters, which accused Canaday of being an agitator. However, Canaday received considerable support for his views from both the public, and from other critics and artists, notably Edward Hopper (1882-1967).
