University of York 29 - 30 June 2015Keynote SpeakersSusan Vincent (University of York)Ogling and Quizzing: or, The Historian, the Eyeglass, and the Visual SourcesRhian Addison (Watts Gallery)Liberating Fashion: Artists as Designers in the Aesthetic MovementFashion and art often follow a shared trajectory of social, political, and historical circumstances. In collaboration with the University of York, the AAH’s Annual Student Summer Symposium will explore the relationship between fashion and art through papers that engage with this subject across a wide range of chronological and theoretical perspectives.The influence of fashionable dress on artists and patrons of art has recently become a popular and productive avenue for research in art history, while fashion designers have likewise been shown to engage continuously with historical and fine art as sources of inspiration. Fashion and Art History will build upon these conversations while also addressing questions that continue to be debated in art and fashion history circles: What evidence does art provide for how dress operates within society? Is fashion ‘art’? Should fashion history be taught alongside art history in academic curricula? When should these objects be displayed in galleries alongside each other, and how does this change the way we understand artworks and fashionable dress? Finally, how might the tools and methodologies of these related disciplines aid the study of their respective subjects?Programme &#38; PapersMonday 29 June13.00   Registration/Tea and coffee13.25   Welcom13.30    Session 1: Contextualising FashionIngrid Mida (York University, Toronto), Fashion and Art in the Context of the MuseumSara Tarter (University of Birmingham) Framing and Reflecting Fashion: Art in Late Nineteenth-Century Parisian Department StoresMaude Johnson (Concordia University, Montreal) Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty14.45    Break15.00   Session 2: The Art of FashionHannelore Magnus (University of Leuven), A Painter Among Tailors: The Depiction of Dress in the Painted Art Galleries by Jacob de Formentrou (1629-after 1695)Maria Merseburger (Humboldt-University, Berlin), Depicting Dress in Early Modern Florence.
