Angela Miller

Angela Miller is a cultural historian of the arts of the 19th and 20th century United States. She was trained in literature, history, and art history at Stanford University, taking her M.A. degree at the Courtauld Institute, University of London, and her Ph.D. in American Studies at Yale University. Her teaching interests at Washington University in St. Louis extend from histories of photography to painting and muralism, as well as transnational cultural exchange between the 20th century US and Mexico. Miller’s book Empire of the Eye (1993) analyzed the cultural politics of landscape imagery as a fundamental aspect of national self-construction in the first half of the 19th century and won national awards. While continuing to write and lecture on landscape, nature, and nation, she has since then shifted focus to 20th century arts, with essays on Alfred Stieglitz and Jackson Pollock; on the American reception of Surrealism; on cosmopolitan and native modernisms; and on theorizations of cross-cultural exchange, among other subjects. She led a distinguished group of scholars in producing a major synthetic history of American arts from the Preconquest period up to the present, told through the lens of encounter between indigenous, European-American, and diasporic African cultures. She has taught at the Institute for North American Studies, Free University in Berlin, and lectured internationally on a wide range of subjects. Her current research is on international abstraction after World War II, and on gay artistic networks in New York City during the 1940s and 1950s.

Dr Sheila McTighe

Dr Sheila McTighe was born and educated in the U.S.A., taking her PhD at Yale University in 1987, where her PhD dissertation was on the landscapes of Nicolas Poussin. She taught at Cornell University and Barnard College of Columbia University in the States before coming to the Courtauld Institute of Art at the University of London. Now an independent art historian, she has taught many BA, MA and PhD students in the field. Her publications focus on 17th century painting in Italy and France, and also on early modern print culture.

Her most recent publication is a book on the artistic practices associated with 17th-century realism, titled Representing from Life in 17th-century Italy (Amsterdam University Press, 2020). It contains studies of Caravaggio, Jacques Callot, Claude Lorrain, and Michelangelo Cerquozzi. A book in progress for the same press studies the iconography and patronage of genre painting and prints, with essays on pairings of artists in dialogue with one another through their works: Giovanna Garzoni and Vincenzo Campi, Sofonisba Anguissola and Caravaggio, Francesco Villamena and Annibale Carracci, Jacques Callot and Francesco Villamena. After a number of years working on realism and genre art in this period, she is now also returning to the art of Nicolas Poussin, with a new translation and study of his letters.

Dr John Bonehill

John Bonehill lectures in the history of art at the University of Glasgow, and has formerly held posts at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich and Birkbeck, University of London.

His research interests lie predominantly in British art and culture of the long eighteenth century, with a particular concern in recent years for landscape and its representation. His publications include the co-edited volumes Old Ways New Roads: Travels in Scotland 1720-1832 (2021) and William Hodges 1744-1797: The Art of Exploration (2004). He has also published on aspects of the art of Allan Ramsay, Joshua Reynolds, William Hodges, Joseph Wright of Derby and J.M.W. Turner.

In 2009, he curated the touring exhibition Paul Sandby: Picturing Britain, a major re-assessment of a significant figure in the development of landscape painting in watercolour. His current research develops some of the themes of this exhibition, being a book-length study of estate portraiture of the period c.1640-1820, exploring the relationship of this little-studied genre to a range of cultural practices, including antiquarianism, gardening, poetry and domestic tourism, as well as the politics and practicalities of what was known at the time as 'improvement'.

Other on going research addresses the later career of Wright of Derby and drawing as a form of knowledge on natural history expeditions during the eighteenth century. He contributes regularly to academic conferences and workshops, and co-convened the international conference Landscape and 'the arts of prospect' in seventeenth-century Britain.

Professor David Cottington

David Cottington studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford for a BA, and was an MA student at the Courtauld in 1970-2. After some years' teaching at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver he returned to study for a PhD at the Courtauld in 1978, and to write a thesis, completed in 1985, on 'Cubism and the Politics of Culture in France, 1905-1914'. For several years he led an MA course in '20th Century Art & Design: Histories & Theories' at University College Falmouth, where he was appointed its first Professor in 1994. He joined Kingston University in 2005, as Director of Postgraduate Studies in the Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture, and was appointed Professor of Art History the following year. The study of early 20th century Parisian modernism has until recently been his particular research interest. The objects of his current research are the histories and theories of the avant-garde, in particular the avant-garde formations of Europe before the First World War (he is presently writing a book on those of London and Paris in this period, for Yale University Press), and the recent and contemporary growth of the 'creative industries'.

Research expertise

David is an expert on cubism and early twentieth-century art in Paris, and has published several books on this subject. He has also recently published (in January 2013) 'The Avant-Garde: A Very Short Introduction', a volume in the 'Very Short Introductions' published by the Oxford University Press. His other publications have included 'Cubism in the Shadow of War: The Avant-Garde and Politics in Paris, 1905-1914' (Yale, 1998), 'Movements in Modern Art: Cubism' (Tate, 1998), Cubism and its Histories' (Manchester, 2004) and 'Modern Art: A Very Short Introduction' (Oxford, 2005). Among many articles he has written, the most recent is 'The Formation of the Avant-Garde in Paris and London, c1880-1915', in Art History, June 2012.

David has become increasingly interested in the artistic 'avant-garde', both as a concept and as a historical formation. He is currently working on a book for Yale University Press, entitled 'A Tale of Two Cities; the Formations of the Avant-Garde in Paris and London, c1895-1915'. It explores the differences, and relations, between the discourses and institutional developments that shaped the emergence and consolidation of these formations. This project is preliminary to a proposed international collaborative project, 'mapping' this emergence and consolidation, on a European (and ultimately global) scale. This will identify a number of key typologies of the avant-garde groupings that appeared in the capital cities of Europe (and North and South America) in the pre-First World war period.
