Call for Papers

Conference

"Technology and Practice: Studying the European Visual Arts
    1800-1850: Paintings, Sculpture, Interiors and art on Paper"

This call for papers and posters is for a two-day technical art
history conference to be held at CATS at the National Museum of
Denmark on 15-16 June 2016.

The conference will be focusing on artists' techniques and
materials, written sources, conservation science, the history of
science and technology, history of trade, and innovation of artists'
materials during the first half of the 19th century.  In the
preceding several decades a succession of art academies emerged
throughout Europe, and another focal point of the conference will be
the impact of these institutions on a new generation of artists,
examining how this manifested itself in their Paintings, Sculpture,
Interiors and Art on Paper.

Themes for presentations could be:

    Workshop practice and materials: art historical and technical
    approaches to documentary evidence

    Art historical and technical examination and analysis of art
    objects

    Art academies as well as open air paintings

    Issues of trading, supply and material innovation in a newly
    industrialized art world

Please submit title and abstract of up to 500 words maximum for oral
and/or poster presentations.  For consideration by the scientific
committee, please send your contribution to cats.conference<-at->smk<.>dk

The conference language will be English, and the deadline for
abstract submission is 1 February 2016.  The oral conference
presentations will in spring 2017 be published as an online
publication by CATS in collaboration with Archetype Publications
Ltd. and also be available as print on demand.
