Professor DeArmendi Selected As Seminar Participant at Yale Center for British Art
Assistant Professor of Art History, Nicole DeArmendi, was one of only 22 individuals selected to participate in the Council of Independent Colleges’ seminar, Art and Society in Britain, Hogarth to Turner (1730–1851) that will be held at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut in July.
The week-long seminar offers a new account of significant developments in British art from Georgian London in the age of William Hogarth, who came to prominence in the 1730s, to the death of J. M. W. Turner in 1851, the year of the Great Exhibition. Original works of art will be addressed directly, focusing on the outstanding collections of the Yale Center for British Art. Themes will include portraiture and social status; London as a world city; taste and the Grand Tour; art and empire; the industrial revolution; and Romanticism and nature.
