Elizabeth Emery Chercheuse invitée
juin 2021
Elizabeth Emery est ‘chercheuse invitée’ à l’INHA dans le cadre du programme: Collectionneurs, collecteurs et marchands d'art asiatique en France 1700-1939 (1er au 30 juin 2021)
Professor of French at Montclair State University, Elizabeth Emery’s research has focused on the reception of medieval art and architecture in nineteenth-century France and America and on the links between early photography and journalism in the creation and curation of French maisons d’écrivains. Most recently, under the auspices of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, she has concentrated on the origins of the movement known as Japonisme, with particular emphasis on the forgotten women collectors and art dealers who contributed to the social and professional networks indispensable to the creation of this new field.
