Painting By Numbers: A Conversation with Diana Greenwald and Paris Amanda Spies-Gans

Painting By Numbers: A Conversation with Diana Greenwald and Paris Amanda Spies-Gans

April 20 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Diana Greenwald, Assistant Curator of the Collection at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and author of Painting By Numbers, comes to the Concord Museum for a conversation on 19th century art production. Using new quantitative evidence on five hundred thousand works of art, she examines the extent to which art historians have focused on a limited – and potentially biased – sample of 19^th century artwork from that time and addresses the effects of industrialization, gender, and empire on the art world. Diana will be in conversation with Paris Amanda Spies-Gans, historian of art and author of A Revolution on Canvas.
