CFP: Revisiting Reproductive Printmaking (New Orleans, 22-24 March 2018)
Historians of Netherlandish Art (HNA) Sponsored Session
Twenty-five years ago, Walter Melion, Timothy Riggs, and Larry Silver brought attention to the understudied subject of reproductive engraving in northern Europe with the exhibition and its accompanying catalogue, "Graven Images: The Rise of Professional Printmaking in Antwerp and Haarlem 1540-1640". Their essays explored the work of individual artists, the processes of technique and dissemination, and contemporary writing about reproductive engraving.
In the ensuing quarter-century, with notable exceptions such as the "Paper Museums" exhibition and catalogue (2005), we have not returned to the topic of Netherlandish reproductive printmaking with sustained focus. Through deepening scholarly interest in early modern print culture over the same 25 years, how has our understanding of specifically the reproductive print changed? What can be learned, for example, from studies of reproductive printmaking centered in the Netherlands vs. a broader geographical conception of the subject? Does knowledge about how gender functioned in the early modern artistic workshop expand our perspective on reproductive printmaking? Papers are invited that address any aspect of our changing notion of the Netherlandish reproductive print from 1350-1750.
Proposals should be 20-minutes papers and must include a title, abstract of no more than 150 words, keywords, and a C.V. of 300 words (no prose), and a short bio. Speakers will need to be members of RSA at the time of the conference.
Please send your submission to Amy Frederick (amy.frederick@centre.edu) by 26 May 2017. Applicants will be notified by 1 June.
