''White Servitude in Colonial America''〕 He attended Phillips Academy.〔http://pdf.phillipian.net/1968/03061968.pdf〕 He then studied at Harvard University for both his undergraduate and graduate education, completing his PhD in 1979. == Contributions == Galenson has become famous for postulating a new theory of artistic creativity. Based on a study of the ages at which various innovative artists made their greatest contributions to the field, Galenson's theory divides all artists into two classes: ''Conceptualists'', who make radical innovations in their field at a very early age; and ''Experimentalists'', whose innovations develop slowly over a long period of experimentation and refinement. Although Galenson initially developed his theory from data solely concerning the visual arts, he has since also investigated conceptual and experimental innovators among poets, novelists, film makers, popular musicians and economists.〔Pink, Daniel H. "What Kind of Genius are You?" ''Wired ''. 148-53,166.〕 Among the examples Galenson cites of conceptualists are: *F. Scott Fitzgerald, who wrote ''The Great Gatsby'' at 29. *Pablo Picasso, who painted ''Les Demoiselles d'Avignon'' at 26. *Orson Welles, who made ''Citizen Kane'' at 26. Among the examples he gives of experimentalists are: *Mark Twain, who wrote ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' at 50. *Alfred Hitchcock, who made ''Vertigo'' at 59.〔Pink, Daniel H. "What Kind of Genius are You?" ''Wired ''. 152-53.〕 In 2008, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in fine arts research. Comics theorist Scott McCloud seems to have anticipated some aspects of Galenson's theory in his 1993 book ''Understanding Comics''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Galenson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
