This exhibition was organized to accompany the conference New Paradigms for Revolutionary Studies: French—American Colloquium, October 6—8, 2008. The keynote address will be presented in the Annenberg Auditorium, located in the lower level of the Snite Museum. This exhibition of drawings in the Scholz Family Works on Paper Gallery and paintings in the permanent installation of the 18th-Century Gallery, will provide visitors with an opportunity to view some artworks created by French artists during the stormy years of the revolutionary period. The conference that inspired this exhibition is the collaboration of a team of scholars from the University of Provence, the University of Toulouse, Indiana University South Bend and the University of Notre Dame. Speakers and participants will come from Europe, Japan and the USA.

      This exhibit features a number of little-known treasures from the revolutionary era housed at Notre Dame. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the relations between art and politics during the French Rev., or any period. Especially interesting are the domestic images of women and children, by famous artists such as David and Vigée-Lebrun. The exhibit is linked to the bilingual colloquium (open to the public) sponsored by IUSB and ND on revolutionary studies which will bring scholars from around the world to South Bend on October 6-7, 2008. See website: http://www.nd.edu/~colloque/index.html. High school teachers and students are especially urged to attend. The exhibit is a wonderful resource and should facilitate interdisciplinary study of art, politics, and literature around our region. Thank you Snite Museum! Collapse
