Multiplicity and Modernity:
Perspectives on Nineteenth and Early Twentieth-Century Art in France

Arizona State University and the Phoenix Art
Museum
This interdisciplinary symposium will coincide with the Phoenix Art Museum’s major exhibition “Masterpiece Replayed: Monet, Matisse and More” (January 20-May 4, 2008) and will explore the various roles of the copy, series, and repetition in the works of artists working in France in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
Themes for investigation include but are not limited to the roles of the French Academy and the avant-garde in defining the boundaries of imitation, the increasing autonomy of the copy for the artist and viewer, as well as pertinent issues such as originality, print media and visual culture, gender, politics and urban space.
Our keynote speaker this year is Dr. Susan Sidlauskas of Rutgers University.
This all-day event is free and open to the public.
For inquiries, please contact Kristopher.Tiffany@asu.edu (Kristopher.Tiffany@asu.edu) or Jennifer Chao (Jennifer.Chao@asu.edu)
This event is sponsored by GPSA, the School of Art, the Herberger College of the Arts, Friends of European Art and the Phoenix Art Museum.
