William Benton Museum of Art

Virtual Exhibition Walkthrough:

Prints and People Before Photography, 1490-1825

via Zoom

Join assistant curator/academic liaison Amanda Douberley for a closer look at the exhibition, Prints and People Before Photography, 1490-1825.

The arrival of printmaking in early modern Europe led to new possibilities for mass communication and art collecting. Transportable, reproducible, and relatively inexpensive, prints contributed to the exchange of knowledge and ideas across international borders and among social classes. This focused exhibition samples little-seen prints from the Benton’s collections and explores the role of prints in society.

Speaker bio: Amanda Douberley, Assistant Curator/Academic Liaison, is responsible for connecting the Benton’s collections and exhibitions with teaching in departments across the university. She has curated numerous exhibitions at the museum, often in collaboration with faculty and other campus partners. Amanda holds a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin with a focus on 20th-century American sculpture and public art. Before coming to UConn in 2018, she taught in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
