Prints, Drawings, and Photographs from the Middlebury College Museum of Art
In this course we will study the prints, drawings, and photographs given to the Middlebury College Museum of Art by Charles S. Moffett, ‘67. Charles Moffett was formerly curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art, director of the Phillips Collection, and officer at Sotheby’s. Students will conduct research on the collection, which includes objects from the 17th to the 21st centuries, and select a number of works to be included in a fall 2017 exhibition. In addition to studying and contextualizing these works, students will visit collections in other museums.
