Inside the Mastersã¢â⢠Studios Richard Haas Dioramas Polk Museum of Art June 18
Department Chair My master goal as a professor of Art History and Museum Studies is to provide students with the tools they need to study fine art and the world of museums critically. In the classroom, I have three overarching objectives for my students: that they learn how to expect at art, how to talk about art, and how to write about art. At the Museum, I strive to offering students the opportunity to work with objects firsthand and to proceeds transformative, pre-professional experiences that tin can set up them on a path toward long-term careers in the field. More than anything else, by honing students' innate skills of observation and disquisitional thinking, I want them to sympathise why the history of the artworks nosotros study — along with the cultural spaces in which nosotros exhibit, preserve, and learn from them — is as essential every bit the fine art itself. building is Polk Museum of Fine art Electronic mail Dr. Rich is Associate Professor of Art History and Chair of the Department of Art History and Museum Studies and holds the George and Dorothy Forsythe Endowed Chair in Art History and Museum Studies.

Dr. Rich'south research focuses frequently on the experiential part of the viewer, on histories that accept yet to be told, and on the concepts of liminality, in-between-ness, and insider-outsider condition in the history of art, especially with regard to artists who are frequently understudied, overlooked, or who grapple with feelings of "Otherness." His dissertation, entitled "Artist or Critic?: Guy Pène du Bois & the Search for Creative Identity," examined the nether-recognized legacy of the artist and fine art critic Guy Pène du Bois, who was a fundamental figure in the appearance of mod art in America merely is virtually unknown today.
