GENESEO, N.Y. – Lynette Bosch, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Art History and chair of Geneseo’s Department of Art History, will be among those presenting at the Cuban Cultural Center of New York’s annual conference Nov. 20 at Sotheby’s in New York City. This year’s conference will focus on the history and development of art in Cuba – from colonial times to present-day performance art.
Bosch’s presentation is titled “Hybridity and Transnationalism in Cuban-American Art.”
“This participation is the first of a series, and I’m scheduled for a similar program on Cuban-American Photography in 2018,” said Bosch. “My hope is that this will raise the profile of our Museum Studies Program in New York City and perhaps enable us to form an internship relationship with the Cuban Cultural Center and Sotheby’s.”
Bosch has the distinction of being a renowned scholar in three fields of expertise: Renaissance art; Spanish manuscript illumination; and contemporary Latin America art, especially Cuban. Her scholarly and creative work embodies books, peer-reviewed articles, encyclopedia articles, book reviews, conference presentations, exhibition catalogs, curatorial work, and speaking invitations. She is active in involving her students with exhibitions, symposia and study abroad programs.
Bosch received a SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Research and Creativity in 2009. She was a Bunting Institute Fellow at Harvard University (1998) and has received grants from the American Association of University Women, The Mellon Foundation, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The National Endowment for the Humanities, The Ministry of Cultural Cooperation Between Spain and the U.S., The Fulbright Foundation and the American Philosophical Society. Bosch’s “Art, Liturgy, and Legend in Renaissance Toledo” (Penn State Press, 2000) won the prestigious Eleanor Tufts Book Award, an international prize from the American Society of Hispanic Art Scholars. The book was hailed as a “landmark in the study of later 15-century Spanish art that also impacts the study of late medieval and early Renaissance art.”
Bosch earned both her doctorate and master of fine arts degree from Princeton University and she has an M.A. from Hunter College, CUNY and a B.A. from Queens College, CUNY.
