Teaching Interests: My core teaching interest is the history of modern art and its relationship to the culture of modernity, including the second half of the 19th century in Europe and the 20th century in Europe, America and India. I am also actively engaged in teaching the history and practice of art criticism, from its origins to the present. In addition, I teach – at the introductory level – the art of India and Southeast Asia, including the sculpture, architecture and painting of Hinduism and also of Buddhism and Islam in South Asia, as well as Indian film. Research Interests: I am concerned with how the cultural and discursive experiences of Modernity, and especially of urbanization, mechanization, rationalized industrial work, mechanized warfare and sports, is embedded in both the figurative and abstract art of Germany in the period 1910-1930. My research interests include the representation of the body as a machine in the art and visual culture of Weimar Germany, including the paintings of George Grosz, Willi Baumeister, Heinrich Hoerle, as well as in the photographs produced by the physiologists of science and work. As part of this research I am also interested in the intersections of scientific photography with art photography and with painting. I am increasingly interested in rhythm as a metaphor for artistic and expressive authenticity in the discourse of art and culture in the first half of the 20th century. Courses Regularly Taught: |
