Phone: 806-651-2794 Professional Profile Dr. Von Lintel joined the Department of Art, Theatre, and Dance in 2010. She received a B.A. in art history and French from the University of Kansas in 2001, an M.A. in art history from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas in 2003, and a Ph.D. in art history from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles in May of 2010. Teaching and Related Service Dr. Von Lintel teaches introductory surveys of art history, as well as special topics in the history of art, including “Artists, Art History, and Originality” and “Aesthetics and Visual Culture.” All of her courses seek to engage students intellectually, critically, and creatively with the history of art as a field. Research and Creative Activity Her research interests include the intersections between the history of art history and the rise of modern visual culture, especially the circulation and popularization of art history knowledge through affordable illustrated books and public exhibitions in the 1800s. Her dissertation, “Surveying the Field: The Popular Origins of Art History in Nineteenth-Century Britain and France,” explored these themes, as well as issues of print culture, book history, gender, imperialism, and transnational exchange.
Dr. Von Lintel's research has been generously supported by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), the Columbia University Council for European Studies, and the Yale Center for British Art. In completing her dissertation, she conducted numerous research trips to Europe, where she worked on materials in the British Library, the National Library of Scotland, and the Bibliothèque Nationale, as well as the publishers’ archives of the Institut Mémoires de l’Edition Contemporaine in Caen, France. She is currently completing two chapter-length publications for volumes on women and the public sphere in the nineteenth century and on British art between the Victorian and Modernist eras. Personal Sketch She moved to the Amarillo-Canyon area from Pasadena, California, but was born and raised in Kansas City. Along with her husband Matt and basset hound Elliott, she is settling into her “new” historic home (built in 1926). In addition to working on house renovations, she enjoys walking the dog, hiking, watching the history channel, and traveling both nationally and internationally. |
