Over a period of fifty years, sisters Claribel and Etta Cone amassed one of the most acclaimed collections of late-19th and 20th-century art in America. Dr. Claribel and Miss Etta were two halves of an idiosyncratic team--Claribel bold and assertive and Etta reflective and sensitive--who used the fortunes of their German Jewish immigrant family to seek out works that inspired and pleased them, regardless of public opinion and with only self-taught expertise. Nancy Hirschland Ramage is the Charles A. Dana Professor of the Humanities and Arts emerita at Ithaca College. She is an art historian, and has written and lectured widely in her fields of Greek and Roman art and eighteenth-century neoclassicism.
