March 28, 2006 -- With his seminal books “Image
of the People” and “The Painting of Modern Life,” art
historian T. J. Clark is credited with providing a new approach
to looking at art that transcends iconography and style. Instead,
Clark viewed the works of artists such as Manet and Courbet through
a lens that shed light on the political and social implications
of their work.
On April 4-6, Clark will give the Spring 2006 Page-Barbour
Lectures. Under the umbrella title of “The Exchange of
Women,” Clark will present three
lectures: April 4, “David’s ‘Intervention of
the Sabine Women’”;
April 5, “Poussin’s ‘Sacrament of Marriage’”;
and April 6, “Veronese’s ‘Allegories of Love.’” All
lectures are in Campbell Hall, room 153, at 5:30 p.m.
Clark was educated at Cambridge University and the Courtauld
Institute of Art, University of London. He has taught in
England and the United States and since 1988 at Berkeley, where
he is currently the George C. and Helen N. Pardee Chair in Modern
Art. His books include “The Absolute Bourgeois: Artists
and Politics in France, 1848-51,” “Image of the People:
Gustave Courbet and the 1848 Revolution,” “The Painting
of Modern Life: Paris in the Art of Manet and his Followers,” “Farewell
to an Idea: Episodes
from a History of Modernism” and (with Iain Boal, Joseph
Matthews and Michael Watts: under the name “Retort”) “Afflicted
Powers: Capital
and Spectacle in a New Age of War.”
Among his recent essays are: “Phenomenality and
Materiality in Cézanne,” in
Barbara Cohen, J. Hillis Miller, Andrzej Warminski, and Thomas
Cohen, eds., “Material
Events: Paul de Man and the Afterlife of Theory”; “Should
Benjamin Have Read Marx?” in Kevin McLaughlin and Philip
Rosen, eds., “Benjamin
Now: Critical Encounters with The Arcades Project”; “Painting
at Ground Level,” The Tanner Lectures on Human Values,
vol. 24; and “The
Sabine Women and Lévi-Strauss,” in Peter de Bolla,
Nigel Leask and David Simpson, eds., “Land, Nation and
Culture 1740-1840.”
The Page-Barbour Lectures, founded in 1907, are aimed at bringing
fresh understanding to any field in the arts and sciences. Past
lecturers have included President William Howard Taft, poets
T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, philosopher John Dewey, journalist
Walter Lippman, psychologist B.F. Skinner and psychiatrist Robert
Coles.
