This program will be supported by a bibliography, and by a supplement to the Washington, D.C. ArtsGuide that will selectively identify memorials and monuments in the D.C. area and briefly discuss the history of their design and construction.
Speakers:
Kirk Savage
Professor and Chair, History of Art and Architecture, University of Pittsburgh
Dr. Savage is the author of Standing Soldiers, Kneeling Slaves: Race, War, and Monument in Nineteenth-Century America, which focuses on the racial formation of public remembrance and public monuments. His most recent book, Monument Wars: Washington, D.C., the National Mall, and the Transformation of the Memorial Landscape, reconsiders the key public monuments and spaces of the capital within a narrative of nation building, spatial conquest, ecological destructiveness, and psychological trauma. Savage is also the recipient of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s 2010 Charles C. Eldredge Prize for Distinguished Scholarship in American Art for his book Monument Wars. A complete listing of Savage’s work is included in the supplemental bibliography.
