Symposium: "American Art in a Global Context"
Saturday, September 30, 2006
Session VI: Photography as a Global Medium

Moderator: Anthony Lee, Mount Holyoke College

Presenters:
Nancy Mowll Mathews, Williams College Museum of Art, "American Moving Pictures in an International Context, 1890-1900"
François Brunet, Université Paris 7 - Denis Diderot, "American Photography in France: A Brief History of Reception"

This three-day symposium looked at American art in a global context—from circum-Atlantic migrations in the eighteenth century to European training and travel in the late nineteenth century; from the export of U.S. culture and media in the twentieth century to the impact of immigration and globalization on the nation's visual arts in the new millennium.
