Royal Cortissoz
Royal Cortissoz (10 February 1869 – 17 October 1948, last name pronounced "Kor-tee-zus") was an American art historian and long-time art critic for the ''New York Herald Tribune'' from 1891 until his death. During his tenure, he consistently championed traditionalism and decried modernism. Of the latter, he once wrote, "It will someday prove a kind of Victorian 'dud,' with a difference, obviously, but a 'dud' just the same."
== Early life ==
Cortissoz was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Francisco Emmanuel Cortissoz, an Englishman of Spanish descent, and Julia da Costa Mauri, from Martinique. He trained as an architect, spending six years working at the firm of McKim, Mead, and White, starting at the age of 16, before joining the staff of the ''Commercial Advertiser''. In 1891, he joined the staff of the ''New York Tribune'', writing on culture, and eventually became the art editor. He had been interested in art as a young child, but never formally studied or practiced it, instead having skill with words, thus leading to career as an art critic, in his own words, "by spontaneous combustion".〔Morgan, p. 64〕 However, the hectic life of a journalist and the pressure of trying to establish the ''Tribune'' as a cultural leader led to a mental breakdown, or neurasthenia as he was diagnosed. Although he soon recovered after a trip around Cape Horn, he suffered from anxiety and psychosomatic ailments for the remainder of his life.〔Morgan, p. 65〕
