Faculty
 Stephen F. Eisenman (Ph.D. 1984, Princeton; Professor) has dedicated his scholarly and teaching career to the critical study of Modern Art and its many contexts. He is the author of two books on art and artists of the late 19th century: The Temptation of Saint Redon (1992) and Gauguin's Skirt (1997). He is also the editor and principle author of a very widely used university textbook, Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History (1994/new edition 2002). Professor Eisenman's research has led him to publish essays exploring questions of racism in Europe and Latin America, and neocolonialism in the contemporary South Pacific. He is currently completing, with Karl Werckmeister, a textbook on the social and political history of European art. In addition, he is co-authoring, with Richard Brettell, a catalogue of 19th century paintings at the Norton Simon Museum. During academic year 2001-02, he was Mellon Fellow at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California where he conducted research for a book devoted to the art and politics of William Morris.
