Hollis Clayson: 鈥�Episodes from Parisian Visual Culture in the Era of Thomas Edison鈥�
Hollis Clayson is professor of art history and Bergen Evans Professor in the Humanities at Northwestern University. She specializes in the social history of nineteenth-century art rooted in Paris and in transatlantic exchanges between France and the U.S. Her publications include Painted Love: Prostitution in French Art of the Impressionist Era (Los Angeles, 1991; reprint 2003); a co-edited thematic study, Understanding Paintings: Themes in Art Explored and Explained (New York, 2000; translated into six other languages); and Paris in Despair: Art and Everyday Life Under Siege (1870--71) (Chicago, 2002). She has most recently written three essays investigating the arts of privacy and the interior. Her current research focuses upon U.S. artists in Paris (1870-1914) and their preoccupation with night in the City of Light.
