Appel à communication : « Passages à Paris. Artistes étrangers à Paris, de la fin du XIXe siècle à nos jours – Foreign artists in Paris from the late 19th century through nowadays »

Georges Seurat (1859-1891) – La tour Eiffel – Huile sur panneau – 1889 – Fine Arts Museum – San Francisco

Antoine Marès, Pierre Milza ou Michel Espagne et Michael Werner). L’histoire de l’art ne s’est intéressée à ce domaine d’études que tardivement en France. Le rôle joué par la circulation des artistes dans le développement des courants stylistiques, dans la constitution de réseaux de sociabilité, dans les transferts culturels, retient aujourd’hui l’attention des chercheurs (cf. Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel ou France Nerlich). . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « American Art in Dialogue with Africa and the African Diaspora »

Since the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade, Africa has played an important—albeit shifting, contested, and often unseen—role in the history of art of the United States. American artists of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with various agendas have imagined and depicted Africa and African peoples in their work or turned to African cultures and art objects for inspiration. Anthropologists and art historians have scrutinized African American visual production in search of cultural retentions, while many modern and contemporary black and Latino artists have alternately highlighted or occluded reference to Africa or African Diasporic cultures in their work. Artists from the U.S. who have traveled to the continent or engaged firsthand with international African Diasporic communities have often found . . . → En lire plus
