Biographie
From the beginning of my career as an art historian (35 years of which spent as a professor at Northwestern University, just north of Chicago), I have concentrated on the study of art practices situated in Paris, the CAPITAL OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY (per Benjamin). Among many publications, I wrote three books (monographs) on Paris-based work: art and prostitution, art and war, art and artificial illumination. As professor emerita, I’ve shifted to the analysis of art produced in Paris vis-à-vis the French Empire, e.g., my current book underway, THE DARK SIDE OF THE EIFFEL TOWER.
