Early Medieval Art at Kalamazoo
Although early medieval art historians could find many talks of interest, I will limit my selection to those that directly and obviously address an early medieval monument or object. I have, however, also included talks on slightly later material that has bearing on early medieval and some that I can only guess have something to do with early medieval material.
Can we identify trends? Perhaps not without hearing the talks. But we can make some observations on popularity- 3 on Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture, 2+ talks on the Book of Kells, 2 on Theodulf, and 2 on Aosta.
