The Fontaine Archive’s mission is also to foster a community of historians, art historians, artists, and collectors interested in the art and events of postwar modernism in Germany. The writings and art of Virginia Hammersmith Fontaine (1915-1991) and Paul Emile Fontaine (1913-1996) provide context and detailed description of the expatriate experience and the role that the arts played in postwar Europe’s rebuilding. Digital versions and indexes are housed with the Archive. However, the original letters, photography, and guest books are at the University of Texas Harry Ransom Center.
