“Why Academies?: The Organization and Training of Artists Across Time and Cultures”Peter M. Lukehart
Tuesday, March 15, 2011
5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Tyler School of Art Room B082
Peter Lukehart, Associate Dean, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, shared with students and faculty in the Art History department his thoughts and research on the role of the color grinder and the academic artist. His transcultural history of painting took us from Ming China to Safavid Iran, from Mughal India to Aztec Mexico and to early modern Italy.
Prior to the talk there was a small reception in which students and faculty mingled and were able to speak with Peter Lukehart. There were light refreshments provided by one of the Graduate Art History Seminars whose studies related to the topic of the talk. It was a great chance for students to take a break from studies and have a relaxing snack before the lecture. The following lecture was very insightful and I'm sure the students of Dr. Cooper's Graduate Seminar Artist's Studio: Creation and Representation especially enjoyed the talk. Dr. Cooper's seminar has been studying and discussing the progression of the artist's studio throughout the history of Renaissance and Baroque art.
