DEPARTMENT OF
ART HISTORY AND ART

ART HISTORY FACULTY

The Art History faculty have wide-ranging areas of expertise from the painted pottery of ancient Athens to postmodern developments in art and theory. Given their strong object orientation, all faculty have at some point in their careers been involved in organizing art exhibitions and writing catalogues. They have been awarded grants and fellowships from several foundations including the Andrew W. Mellon, the Pederewski Foundation, the Ford Foundation, American Council for Learned Societies, American Philosophical Society, Swann Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

They have received international recognition in many areas. Individual faculty members have served as Fulbright Fellows in Holland and Italy, as a Delmas Scholar in Venice, and as resident scholars in Greece and Italy. They have presented scholarly papers at international symposia and congresses in London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest, Athens, Bern, Catania, Rome, Rhodes, Bangkok, Mexico City and Venice. Their books have been published in Dutch, Spanish, German, Japanese and Korean translations, and they have had articles published in numerous foreign periodicals.

Departmental and faculty affiliations include the American Institute for Indian Studies, the American Academy in Rome, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and the Pollock-Krasner Study Center.

Several curators at the Cleveland Museum of Art are adjunct faculty in the art history program. They offer courses and supervise independent study courses.
