Teaching Gallery: Ecocritical Art History

Gallery 319, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

These works from the permanent collection of the Spencer Museum of Art have been selected to complement a pre-conference seminar organized by Professor Alan Braddock at the College of William & Mary concerning the emerging study of ecocriticism in the field of art history. Research topics of particular interest include natural history illustration, 19th-century photographic depictions of fog, Robert Adams photographs, representations of glaciers, and issues related to ecocritical assessments of contemporary art.
