Description

The Medieval Foremothers Society is pleased to announce that we will be honoring art historian Annemarie Weyl Carr at the 2015 Kalamazoo in two sessions: In Honor of Annemarie Weyl Carr I: Women as Artists and Patrons and In Honor of Annemarie Weyl Carr II: Visualizations of Mary, East and West. Professor Carr well deserves to be honored as a medieval Foremother for her research on women in Byzantium, her teaching on medieval women artists, patrons, and religious, and her mentoring of numerous successful women medieval art historians. In addition, she has played a strong leadership role in the discipline of medieval art history. The second session points to Prof. Carr's most recent interest in Byzantine icons of the Virgin Mary, but by stressing East and West, opens the inquiry up to a more pan European perspective.
