My friends have been a supportive, funny, loving team, cheering me on as
I labored through draft after draft of manuscript. Among the wonderful people
in what we call the People’s Republic of Fifth Street, a tree-lined community
of small buildings and high stoops in the East Village, some like Lucinda,
Steven, Arie, and Ni and LiMing have moved away; others like Heide,
Doug, and Zeke, or Tricia and Oscar, or Kathryn and Margaret down the
block, or Monica and Abe, the Goyals, Lisa and her family of musicians,
Marva, Joseph, AJ, Romy, Hayes, Lydia, Judy, David, Mark are so many I can
hardly name but I appreciate them all. I am also indebted to Ruth Sidel, Anne
Talpain, Norma Tan, Janet Becker, Eve Golden, Clark Sugg, and Ruby and
Kevin Eisenstadt. For assistance with translations and scholarship, I thank
Heide Estes, Janna Schaefer, Paul Werner, Louise Crandall, Theresa Aiello,
George Franks, Mimi Abramovitz, Barbara Levy Simon, Alain de Mijolla,
and Craig Tomlinson. At Columbia University Press I thank John Michel for
his courage and kindness and Susan Pensak for her editorial perspicacity.
With translations as with the historical material, all errors of fact or interpretation
remain my own.
I come from a family of writers and, for this legacy, I would like to thank
my father Arthur C. Danto, my mother-in-law Vivian L. Werner, and my
late mother Shirley Rovetch Danto. Family and step-family members range
across the country and I thank them all.
Paul Werner, my witty, moral, worldly husband, has contributed three
full-length critical readings of this book and more, truly making it what it is
today. Such love is rare and I am lucky.
