“The Visual Poetics of Place in American Modernism”
A Lecture with Janice Simon
A specialist in American art, with a focus on 19th-century landscape painting and American art periodicals, Janice Simon has published in the 19th-century
art journals The Crayon and The Aldine, images of the forest interior in the Adirondacks and the White Mountains, on American Impressionism, the photographs of William J. Stillman, and on paintings
by Sanford Gifford, Charles Burchfield, Martin J. Heade, and George Henry Hall, among others. The art of John F. Kensett has been of special interest since her master’s thesis, and she is author of Images of Contentment: John Frederick
Kensett and the Connecticut Shore (Mattatuck Museum, 2001) and “Impressed in Memory: John Frederick Kensett’s Italian Scene” in Classic Ground: Mid Nineteenth Century American Painters and the Italian Encounter (Georgia
Museum of Art, 2004). For more information and to register for your free ticket.
