Thomas Crow in Conversation with Anne Dunlop and Charles Green: Theological Originality in Art?

Venue: Ground Floor, North Gallery, Ian Potter Museum of Art

Presenters: Professor Thomas Crow, Professor Charles Green, Professor Anne Dunlop

Join Thomas Crow, Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art, and Associate Provost for the Arts, New York University in conversation with The University of Melbourne’s Anne Dunlop, Herald Chair in Fine Arts, and Charles Green, Professor of Contemporary Art, for the launch of Professor Crow’s most recent publication No Idols: The Missing Theology of Art.

Thomas Crow’s research interests are both wide, spanning the 18th century to contemporary art, and deep. He has been a leader in reformulating art history and its research over recent decades. No Idols focuses on the inescapably linked but nonetheless distinct areas of art, theology and religion which, seeks to recover the theological import in the work of Sister Mary Corita Kent and five other essential artists – Chardin, Rothko, McCahon, and Turrell against commonplace notions of the religious or spiritual in their art.

Join us to hear more about the work of Corita Kent and the findings of Crow’s significant publication.
