CORAL is delighted to announce a talk by Prof. Stéphane Roy, on Thursday, Mar. 21st, at 2 pm, in the Gordon Wood Lounge (DT 1811).
One of our co-organizers, Emma, has had the pleasure of hearing a version of this talk, and it was sensational! Prof. Roy takes a transnational approach, comparing the prestige and influence of French and English prints at different periods of the eighteenth century, and looks at mixed printmaking techniques as performance, spectacle, and narrative. The way that prints told stories – both as illustrations of novels and as freestanding cycles of images – is really gripping.
Prof. Roy's research has included printmaking, propaganda, and the French Revolution, and has branched into book history and travel illustration. He has served as curator at the Yale Center for British Art and at the Portrait Gallery of Canada. |
