Notă biografică
David B. Dearinger was born in Woodford County, Kentucky,
where his ancestors settled in the late eighteenth century. After
graduating from the University of Kentucky in 1972, he moved to New
York City to work for TWA as one of the first men hired by the airline
industry into the previously all-female ranks of flight attendants. In
1975, he was promoted to the position of Flight Service Manager.
While continuing to fly both domestically and internationally, he
began graduate work at the Graduate Center of the City University
of New York in 1982, eventually earning an M.A. in American Studies
and an M.Phil. and Ph.D. in art history.
Dearinger subsequently taught art history in New York at Hunter
College, Queens College, Brooklyn College, and, for over twenty-five
years, at the State University of New York's F.I.T. in Manhattan, where
he was a tenured adjunct professor. He joined the curatorial staff of
the National Academy of Design in New York in 1985 and served
as that institution's Chief Curator from 1995 to 2004. In the latter
year, he was named the Susan Morse Hilles Curator of Paintings and
Sculpture at the Boston Athenaeum in Boston, a position he held until
his retirement in 2018.
He has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts,
the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Luce Foundation,
the Florence Gould Foundation, and the Lucellia Foundation. He is
the author of books, articles, and exhibition catalogues on the history
of American art and has lectured widely in the field.
Dearinger began researching his family's history at the age of
fifteen, and genealogy has been his avocation ever since. Having been
a resident of New York City for nearly forty years, he and his spouse,
the architect Darrell Ung, now live in Richmond, Virgi
