RETHINKING ENGLISHNESS: ENGLISH ART 1880-1940

A THREE DAY CONFERENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK

Thursday 24 to Saturday 26 July 1997

Scholarship on modern English art has been reluctant to engage with cultural history. Werequire more studies which, like those of French art of the period, aim to deal properly with theimpact of modernity and the cultural conditions in which artists lived and worked. Thepotential for such studies is enormous.

This three-day conference offers an opportunity to rethink English art between 1880 and 1940.Our intention is to address issues of nationality, identity, and cultural representation, and toassess the relevance of perspectives offered by work in social history and cultural theory.Papers are invited which address the character and meanings of works of modern English artthrough these and related issues. Proposals to re-read the work of individual artists orgroupings of the period in this way will be particularly welcome.

Abstracts of proposed papers (1-2 sides of A4) should be sent to Dr David Peters Corbett,Department of History of Art, University of York, Heslington, York, YO1 5DD by 1 February1997. If you would like to attend the conference without giving a paper, then please write andwe will put you on the mailing list.
