Brush and Pencil
Search the journal
Through collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, and the Brooklyn Museum, JSTOR has developed a collection of 19th and early 20th century American art journals found in the libraries of these prominent New York City museums. These fragile periodicals are a rich source of images and text, which span the development of American visual culture and the evolving role of the artist and art audience within it.

Brush and Pencil was first published in 1897. During the journal's publication, the Boston Globe remarked that "the superlative excellence of the reflection of current arts and crafts by Brush and Pencil is always to be depended upon." In Book Notes it was written, "The best known artists lend their productions to this periodical and find perfect parallels in the excellent accompanying articles. Its appearance is an inspiration to new ideas and better work."
