****Art and The Viewer****

MCINTIRE DEPARTMENT OF ART, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

****************CALL FOR PAPERS******************

The Art History Graduate Association (AHGA) at the
University of Virginia is seeking papers which explore
the relationships between art and its audience. Possible
themes include, but are not limited to: devotional art;
patronage; portraiture; the connoisseur, critic or
collector; the viewer's perspective; art institutions; the
gendered viewer; the viewer's experience and space; and
more recent theoretical concepts such as the viewer's role
in the production of meaning and the equation of the
author's death with the viewer's birth. For example, both
Renaissance marriage paintings and Minimalism have elicited
copious discussion regarding art and its viewers.

Papers are welcome from graduate students working in all
disciplines and historical periods. One-page abstracts,
without identifying information, are due by May 1, 2002.
Please include a separate cover page with your name,
paper title, e-mail address, phone number, university
department and departmental address.
