For the month of January, Helen Majdalany, of the Marshall University Theatre
Department, brings us “Reading
in the 19th Century Academic Art: A Scene of Everyday Life”.
The display is composed of 19th century artists'
depictions of reading
throughout the ages and includes many famous artists as well as some well-known
subjects. Take a break and come to Drinko Library 3rd floor to enjoy this
display. While there, you might also enjoy learning more about the
Academic Art style of painting and the artists featured in the
display from resources available in our Art books collection housed also on 3rd
floor. Feel free to browse or click
here to search our collection.
In addition, you can also investigate related resources available via our
online databases.
The display may be viewed
during the month of January on 3rd
floor of the Drinko Library. For further information, contact
Paris Webb,
Digital Resources/Systems Support Librarian.
