Juliet Bellow
Juliet Bellow is Associate Professor of Art History at American University. Her scholarly research concerns "intermedial modernism," with a focus on the relationship between art and dance in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Her book "Modernism on Stage: The Ballets Russes and the Parisian Avant-Garde," a study of set and costume designs by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Sonia Delaunay and Giorgio de Chirico for Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes troupe, was published in 2013 by Ashgate Press. She served as a consulting scholar for the exhibition "Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes: When Art Danced with Music," which opened at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC in May-October 2013.
Her current research project, entitled “Rodin’s Dancers: Sculpture in the Age of Spectacle,” concerns Rodin's developing interest in the medium of dance during the later years of his career. This study focuses particularly on the sculptor’s relationships with choreographers and performers who came to prominence around the turn of the twentieth century, including Loïe Fuller, Vaslav Nijinsky, and members of the Cambodian Royal Ballet troupe. She worked on this project as a resident fellow at the Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University in the 2015-16 academic year.
Juliet teaches courses at American University on a wide range of topics and materials, concentrating primarily on European art from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Recent course offerings include "Women and the Avant-Garde," "Revolutionary Aesthetics: Art and Politics in Nineteenth-Century France," and "Museums and Society."
She is a member, and has thrice served as the chair, of the organizing committee for the Annual Feminist Art History Conference held at American University. Further information can be found on the conference website: http://www.american.edu/cas/art-history/femconf/index.cfm.
She also currently serves on the board of the journal /ARTS/:
