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 research has always considered architecture, painting and artifacts from Byzantium and medieval Eastern Europe, largely from the 12th through the early 15th century. In recent times, I have been working on a large study of bronze and copper icons, collecting and cataloguing them and examining their relation to precious and painted images. Currently I am focusing on copper repoussé images. These include an unpublished piece in a private collection in London which I hope to be able to present publicly. In my research on these metal icons, I am looking at their iconography and style, the social milieu of their patrons, and their role in decorating churches or serving as the focus of public and personal prayer.
