We would like to take a moment to introduce our new curator of European art, Tanya Paul.
Tanya completed her doctoral degree at the University of Virginia in 2008 with a dissertation on the seventeenth century Dutch still life painter Willem van Aelst (1627-1682).
She is working on turning her dissertation into an international loan exhibition that will be held at the National Gallery of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston at the end of 2012.
Tanya has worked in the museum world since 1998, most recently as a Curatorial fellow at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, but she has also been a graduate intern in the paintings department at the J. Paul Getty Museum and worked as both an intern and a fellow at the University of Virginia Art Museum.
We couldn't be more excited to have her with us here with us at Philbrook. And keep an eye out for upcoming events. Tanya will be hosting a gallery talk in November called...
"The European Collection Through the Eyes of the Curator"
DON'T MISS UP!!!p.s. The painting seen above is one of Tanya's favorites (so far). Can you guess the artist?
