Mont Mont Allen

Mont Allen studies the art of ancient Greece and Rome, with the latter exerting the stronger pull on his heartstrings. Particular passions include mythological imagery in funerary art (especially Greek myths as they were carved on Roman sarcophagi) and ancient attitudes towards artistic facture and technique (notably as they bear on questions of iconography).  He is often spotted bicycling up and down the Berkeley Hills, his preferred local habitat. He is also something of a Teutonophile and confesses, rather sheepishly, to having occasionally taught the stylistic dating of Greek monuments through analogy with German synthesizer music.  2012-2013 will see him in Berlin for the year, pursuing dissertation research at the German Archaeological Institute, thanks to generous fellowships from the German Academic Exchange Service and the Charlotte Newcombe Foundation.   To see Mont's CV.

Alexandra Courtois Alexandra Courtois (2009) a continuing Javits fellow, filed her Qualifying Paper this past Spring and will be working on her dissertation prospectus over a busy summer. Indeed, she is thrilled (and thankful to the French-Berkeley fund) to have the opportunity to accompany her advisor, Darcy Grigsby, and fellow graduate student Kailani Polzak to Paris in June to do research in various Parisian archives for a 2014 Louvre Project on the “Image of the Black in 18th-century French Art.” July will see her traveling to York, England, to participate in the second edition of the “Making Art, Picturing Practice,” (MAPP) seminar, engage in object-based discussion sessions for several days, and present a paper on the last day's symposium. (MAPP 3, a collaboration between the Yale Center for British Art and York University, will most likely meet in London next year to elaborate a book project!). Family visits back in France, in Bordeaux with Dad, and near the Spanish border with Mom, will precede a much anticipated road-trip through Turkey!
