I teach art history in the Fine Arts department at Boston College; my research areas are late 19th and early 20th century European art, and American architecture. I am particularly interested in art in Belgium, and Scandinavia.I am curating an exhibit A New Key: Modern Belgian Art from the Simon Collection at the McMullen Museum at Boston College, Feb. 10-July 22, 2007.
Previously, I was the chief curator of a major exhibition of the works of Fernand Khnopff, the leading Belgian Symbolist painter. Entitled Fernand Khnopff: Inner Visions and Landscapes, it was held at the McMullen Museum at Boston College Sept. 19-Dec. 5, 2004.
I was also the chief curator of an exhibition of the works of Edvard Munch, held at Boston College from February 5-May 21, 2001. The exhibition was entitled Edvard Munch: Psyche, Symbol and Expression.
It is my privilege to chair the Boston College Arts Council, and I am the associate editor for the journal of Religion and the Arts.
The possibilities of using computers and the www intrigue me, and I have been developing teaching materials on the web for use in my classes.
