Multiplicity and Modernity:
Perspectives on Nineteenth and Early Twentieth-Century Art in France
March 7, 2008
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.

The Council of Graduate Art Historians (COGAH) at Arizona State University is
pleased to announce "Crisis and Convergence: Explorations in 17th and 18th
Century Art." As an interdisciplinary examination, this symposium will
consider how individuals and societies around the world interacted and reacted
during these two hundred pivotal years. Possible themes for
investigation may include conflict, identity, nationalism, imperialism,
colonialism, religion, gender, class, politics, and science, among others.
Participants in disciplines other than art history are especially encouraged to
present relevant material.
This symposium will be held in association with the Phoenix Art Museum, and will
coincide with two major concurrent exhibitions: "Fierce Reality: Italian
Masters from 17th Century Naples," and "Rembrandt and the Golden Age
of Dutch Art: Treasures from the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam." Admission to the
symposium is free and open to the public. This year's keynote speaker is
Dr. Ann Jensen Adams.
