Arnold, MD 21012

Entries due: October 11, 2015

THEME: Questioning Beauty: Idea vs Quality
Is beauty objective or subjective? Can something elicit the idea of beauty without possessing the qualities traditionally associated with beauty? Can something possess beauty solely through its physical qualities? Or must idea and physical quality coexist in a work of art to truly define it as beautiful?

JUROR
David Gariff is a senior lecturer at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and an adjunct professor of art history at the Catholic University of America. A specialist in modern and contemporary art and the art of the Italian Renaissance, he has taught art history at the University of Wisconsin, Cleveland State University, Trinity University, and the University of Maryland, College Park, where he received his Ph.D. He was a graduate fellow in Italy at the University of Florence and the University of Pisa, and a Fulbright and Kress Foundation fellow at the Institute for the History of Lombard Art in Milan. Gariff has lectured and written widely on topics related to modern art, film, and the Italian Renaissance; his book The World’s Most Influential Painters and the Artists They Inspired explores the theme of artistic influence and inspiration in Western painting.
