Art History
The goal of the Art History Department is to equip students with a critical understanding of the historical and theoretical concerns that have shaped the production, circulation, and reception of art, visual culture, and architecture over time and around the world.
The Senior Program
Senior art history majors prepare an extensive research project in connection with a seminar that is taken in the spring semester. The program culminates in an oral presentation before an audience of art history majors, faculty members and interested members of the College community.
Recent projects in art history include:
- Antisemitic Imagery in the Age of Social Media
- Curation and Colonialism: Exhibitions of Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Canada
- “The Signature of One Artist, the Work of One Wrist”: Creativity and Conversation in Helen Frankenthaler’s Later Work
- Then and Now: Design-Build Architecture
- Reclaiming Rose Valland: The Jeu de Paume’s Unlikely Spy
- From Scientific Object to Artistic Subject: The Black Female Body in Dissection and Sculpture
