Ph.D. candidate Jeffrey Richmond-Moll represented the Department of Art History at the 49th Annual Middle Atlantic Symposium in the History of Art, co-organized by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, and the Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland. Richmond-Moll presented the paper, "'A Gospel of Water': Religion, Displacement, and Environmental Change in the Art of John Steuart Curry." His talk focused primarily on Curry's Baptism in Kansas (1928; Whitney Museum of American Art), which--like the artist's other spiritually-themed paintings from the period--reveals surprising entanglements between contemporary climatic shifts, new transportation technologies, and dislocated religious communities across the American Midwest.
