CFP: Modern Movements: Exploring the Body in Modern American Art

Deadline for proposals: September 15, 2012
Symposium date: Saturday, March 16, 2013

experimentation. This one-day symposium will feature new research on Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), an artist who was dedicated to the figure and yet, as primary curator of the groundbreaking Armory Show of 1913, is credited with bringing modern art to American audiences.
