Yesterday, Nicholas Halmi @ox.ac.uk spoke on "Bordering Romanticism" @uni-jena.de. It was a fruitful exchange between the research group "European Romanticism or Romanticisms in Europe?", which focuses on the visual arts, & Halmi’s literary perspectives on the unity & heterogeneity of Romanticism.

Kunsthistorikerin und Fellow des Zentrums Cordula Grewe hielt bei der Eröffnungsveranstaltung einen fulminanten Vortrag zu den „Formen des arabesken Denkens und Gestaltens“ – und beendete ihn mit den Worten: „Es lebe die #Romantik! Sie lebe fort, fort, fort!“

Finally getting to read/see Alexander Cozens' 1786 "A New Method of Assisting the Invention in Drawing Original Compositions of Landscape", along with all the accompanying daring plates that demonstrate the imaginative technique of blotting, at the Beinecke Library.

What a pleasure to study William Blake's unique illustrations for Thomas Gray's poem "The Bard" at the YCBA. Blake inserted the printed text into a cutout in the centre of a larger sheet of watercolor paper, an absolutely novel way of approaching the relationship between text and image.

What a joy to study all the material on epistemic images in the New Haven Medical Library. Many thanks to Laura Phillips, curator for the visual arts, for showing me the library and for the great conversation about scientists as artists.

„Museums are places to hang out“: Mary Heilmann’s installation "Long Line" at the Whitney Museum, which faces the Hudson River and the surrounding cityscape, invites visitors to do exactly that.
