Biographical Note

Alfred Moir, art historian and collector, was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1924. The son of a medical doctor, Moir served in the U.S. Army from 1943-1946 before attending Harvard University for his baccalaureate and graduate degrees. While pursuing his graduate studies, Moir spent time as a Fulbright fellow at the University of Rome and teaching at Newcomb College of Tulane University in New Orleans, eventually earning his doctorate from Harvard in 1953 with a thesis on the influence of Caravaggio in Italy.

Moir taught as an assistant professor at Tulane University until 1962, when he moved west to join the Department of Art and Art History at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) as a specialist in Italian baroque art. Moir spent the rest of his academic career at UCSB, serving as chair of the department from 1963 until 1969 and becoming an important figure in the growth of the department and the University Art Museum.

Moir began collecting art early in life, purchasing prints and drawings during trips to Europe in the late 1940s, and continuing to collect a variety of works through the 1950s and 1960s. In the early 1970s, Moir focused his collecting on Old Master drawings because quality acquisitions were available within his budget (particularly when his professional expertise enabled him to determine attributions for unidentified or misidentified works). The majority of drawings were purchased from private dealers in Rome, London, and New York, and later from Sotheby's and Christie's London auction houses.

Moir retired emeritus from UCSB in 1991 but stayed on to serve as an Adjunct Curator at the University Art Museum. In the following years he continued to publish his research and expand his personal art collection, while also serving as Consulting Curator at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Moir died in 2010 at the age of 86.

Significant publications related to this collection include Caravaggio and His Followers (1967),  Caravaggio and his Copyists (1997), and  Caravaggio (1982 and 1989). Moir also contributed to or edited other books and catalogs, including  Master Drawings from the Collection of Alfred Moir published by the Minneapolis Institute of Art in 2000.

Scope and Content Note

The collection consists of files relating to Alfred Moir's personal art collecting and his research. Photographs or photocopied images of artwork and Moir's notes make up the bulk of the materials, along with correspondence, invoices and receipts, drafts, copies or offprints of publications, and ephemera relating to gallery or museum exhibitions.

Personal collection files include notes, photographs and sales records for his collection of Old Master drawings (or works he was studying for possible acquisition). Artists included are primarily from Italy, along with France, the Netherlands, Austria, and England.

Files for his academic research focus on Italian baroque paintings and drawings. Moir's research on Caravaggio and his followers (including Battistello Caracciolo, Leonello Spada, and Valentin de Boulogne) makes up a large portion of the research files. Other prominently featured artists include Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Bartolomeo Manfredi. Moir's research on Anthony Van Dyck is not reflected in this collection. Other research files pertain to architecture, sculpture, artistic themes, or the works of a particular museum, gallery or private collection.

Series II: Artist Files, 1950-1998
 

Relating to research on individual artists, primarily Italian baroque. Files directly related to Caravaggio are included in Series III: Caravaggio Research Files, but several Caravaggio followers are listed in this series. Materials mostly consist of photographs of works and notes for Moir's research. Other materials include offprints and copies of academic articles and correspondence with academics and museum professionals discussing photographs, attributions, exhibitions, and publications. Files may also contain exhibition ephemera, drafts of Moir's works for publication, and copies of loan agreements for works of art (particularly for the exhibition Art in Italy 1600-1700 at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1965).

Files vary in depth, from a single photograph or note, to multiple folders of materials. Arranged alphabetically by artist's last name.
