 | Timothy Barringer |
Timothy Barringer, the newly appointed Paul Mellon Professor of the History of Art, focuses his teaching and research on Victorian visual culture, British art from 1700 to the present, American and British landscape painting between 1750 and 1900, and 19th-century European art.
Barringer, who is currently on leave as a Getty Scholar at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, will assume his new post on July 1.
The Yale scholar's other interests include museum studies, post-colonial studies and gender studies. He is the author of "Men at Work: Art and Labour in Victorian Britain," which will be published by the Yale University Press in June. His other books include "Reading the Pre-Raphaelites" and "The Cole Family: Painters of the English Landscape, 1838-1975."
Barringer also co-authored with Andrew Wilton "American Sublime," a catalog for an international exhibition of the same name, which won the 2002 AXA/Art Newspaper Prize for the Best Exhibition Catalogue Published by a Museum in the United Kingdom or Ireland and the Victorian Society of America's Henry Russell Hitchcock Award. Barringer and Wilton were co-curators of the exhibition, which ran at the Tate Gallery in London, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and the Museum of Fine Arts in Minneapolis.
The art historian has co-edited several volumes and has made contributions to numerous edited volumes, reference works and exhibition catalogs. He is now working on a new book titled "Art and Music and Britain."
A graduate of Trinity Hall, the University of Cambridge, Barringer earned his M.A. from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University and his Ph.D. from the University of Sussex in England. He taught at New York University, Birkbeck College of the University of London and the University of Birmingham (England) before joining the Yale faculty in 1998. In 2004, he was awarded the Sarai Ribicoff Teaching Prize, which honors a junior faculty member in the humanities who is original and innovative in thought and in classroom teaching.
Barringer is a co-curator with Gillian Forrester of an exhibit planned for 2007 at the Yale Center for British Art on Isaac Mendes Belisario, which will be the first display of the artist's work depicting the Jamaican landscape and people when they were liberated from slavery in 1838. The show will also tour to other sites. Barringer and Forrester are collaborating on the exhibition catalogue for the show.
