Overview of class

The Objects and Materials Seminar focuses on sustained, close engagement with art objects. The course considers key themes in the field of object studies by considering how materials, representational strategies, use, and conservation shape and are shaped by the life of the art object. This year's iteration will focus on materials from the Thoma collection that will be on loan to the Block for the exhibition "Pasados Presentes". The course is required for first- and second-year Art History graduate students at Northwestern.
