Public Symposium
Saturday, August 4, 1:30 to 5:30 pm
Scholarship in the area of Impressionism has been both remarkably lively and remarkably international in the last generation. Yet, most of the scholars currently working in France, Britain, Germany, and the United States conceive of the movement in ways that reflect the intellectual traditions of their own countries and institutions. Rarely do they get much opportunity to work together. That will change this summer, when the Clark invites nine scholars to spend a week together in Williamstown to discuss the intellectual problems raised by the exhibition. The group will present their findings to the public in a lively series of discussions on Saturday, August 4. Speakers will include:
- Richard R. Brettell, Professor of Aesthetic Studies, University of Texas at Dallas, and Curator of Impression: Painting Quickly in France, 1860-1890
- Stephen Eisenman, Professor of Art History, Northwestern University
- Tamar Garb, Professor, Department of the History of Art, University College, London
- Richard Kendall, independent scholar, New York
- Matthias Krüger, Research Fellow, University of Hamburg
- Rodolphe Rapetti, Chief Curator, Musées de France
- Richard Shiff, Effie Marie Cain Regents Chair in Art and Director, Center for the Study of Modernism, University of Texas at Austin
- Michael F. Zimmermann, Deputy Director, Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, Munich
The discussions will be moderated by John House of
the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, a noted scholar of Impressionism.
