Art History Scholar To Give Talk At University Of Virginia September 17, 2004 -- WHO: Paul Barolsky, Commonwealth Professor, U.Va.’s McIntire Department of Art WHAT: Lecture: “Dante and the Invention of the Modern Artist” WHEN: Thursday, Sept. 30, 6 p.m. WHERE: Campbell Hall, Room 160 For centuries, most artist, poets and writers worked in obscurity. The idea of the artist as a hero began with Dante, who made himself the principal subject of his own poetry, said Paul Barolsky, Commonwealth Professor of Art History at the University of Virginia. Barolsky will talk about the origins and history of our current idea of the great artist that we hold today in his talk, “Dante and the Invention of the Modern Artist,” on Thursday, Sept. 30, 6 p.m. in Campbell Hall, Room 160. Barolsky, a Renaissance expert, has written extensively about the biography of the artist; art and literature; aesthetics and criticism. Recent books include “Michelangelo and the Finger of God,” “The Faun in the Garden: Michelangelo and the Poetic Origins of Italian Renaissance Art; “Giotto’s Father and the Family of Vasari’s Lives; and “Why Mona Lisa Smiles and other Tales by Vasari.” For more information, call The McIntire Department of Art at (434) 924-6123.
