La calandre Rolls-Royce, ou l'anglicité de l'art anglais selon Erwin Panfosky
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In 1963, Erwin Panfosky published a short article on the Ideological Antecedents of the Rolls-Royce Radiator. This text is above all a reflection on national stylistic identities and is therefore deeply indebted to a German tradition of which Dagobert Frey and Nikolaus Pevsner are probably the best-known representatives. The recent publication of the Panfoskyian correspondence sheds new light on this paper and its genesis. Its analysis shows that the ‘American turn’ that Panofsky emphasized in his writings is partly a self-fashioning, and that his German culture and education remain very much alive until late in his career. In addressing the topic of national style, Panofsky distances himself from Pevsner and treats it in an entirely different way. Looking back at this article allows us to grasp some of the issues at stake in the writing of art history in the 1950s and 1960s, between Europe and the United States, and in the intellectual career of one of the great masters of the discipline.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
