Over the summer, second-year MA student Shayla Croteau completed an internship remotely with Dr. Erik Neil, director of the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, VA. Her work entailed researching American artists, architects, and writers who traveled to Sicily in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in search of inspiration.
A highly acclaimed multi-disciplinary visual artist, photographer, designer and educator; “I have fostered connections with business pioneers to build and develop new talent and works of art.”
Congratulations to Prof. Gertsman whose newest book, The Absent Image: Lacunae in Medieval Books, was just published by Penn State Press! The book was made possible by the American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship and the Millard Meiss Publication Grant from the College Art Association as well as by support from her friends, colleagues, and students at CWRU and the CMA.
At long last, the CMA is opened for small special tours, and the first such tour was offered by Dr. Gerhard Lutz to CWRU medievalists, who convened today at the Treasures from Münster Cathedral. The extraordinary collection of reliquaries is on display through 8/14/2022 and will form an integral part of the next course in the Global Middle Ages series, which will be co-taught by Prof. Gertsman and Dr. McCormick next spring.
