Symposium: Academies of Art in England and France, c.1780-1830
(Maison Française, Norham Road, Oxford, 22/23 Feb. 2002)
The Maison Française d'Oxford and the Department of the History of Art,
University of Oxford, with the assistance of the Faculty of Modern History
and the Voltaire Foundation, are hosting a symposium on Academies of Art in
England and France, c.1780-1830 on 22-23 February 2002. Papers will address
exhibition cultures and notions of national schools of painting, the
relation between political and artistic institutions and discourses, and
variants of anti-academic thought and practice. The organisers are hoping
to attract a broad 18th Studies audience, and in particular art historians,
historians and literary critics with an interest in the visual cultures and
the politics of culture of late 18th and early 19th century England and
France.
The event is free and no prior registration is required.
