Art history studies world cultures and their expressions
in the visual arts. Students are encouraged to explore artworks as documents
of particular times, places, societies, and individuals. Small classes allow
for lively discussion and individual attention.
With a major in art history, you'll find opportunities in community education,
private collections, preservation agencies, and libraries. The major in
art history may also lead to graduate study in the field or in related
field such as archeology, museum studies or conservation. With a graduate
degree, you may begin a career in teaching, conservation, or museum work.

Research Statement:
My primary area of specialization is 18th, 19th, and 20th-century American Art and Architecture. For many years, I have taught 19th-century European art. Additionally I teach Baroque Art, Mesoamerican Art and our Seminar in 20th-Century art, for which my topic has sometimes been Earthworks and Environmental Art. I am very interested in museum work and have taught three museum studies seminars. I also chair the department’s gallery committee. I’m currently curating an exhibition of the work of Detroit, African American artist Charles McGee, which will open at the University Art Gallery in 2009-2010.
Outside my curatorial work, my research interests are largely focused on American artists who studied in France after the Civil War. My dissertation is titled “The American Expatriate Painters of the French Peasantry, 1863-1893,” and I have published numerous articles on this subject. Several articles focus specifically on the painter Robert Wylie who lived in France for many years. I am currently working on exhibition proposals for two other expatriate artists, Henry Mosler and Julian Alden Weir. I am also interested in contemporary sculpture and have published several articles in this area. Faculty Work:
