Please join us for the second lecture of the Spring 2017 Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series.
Susanne Meurer is an assistant professor of Early Modern European Art at the University of Western Australia in Perth. She received her PhD from the University of London and held post-doctoral fellowships at the Warburg Institute in London and the Kunsthistorisches Institut (Max-Planck Institute) in Florence prior to her move to Australia. She is currently an Eleanor M. Garvey Fellow in Printing and Graphic Arts at Harvard’s Houghton Library.
Her research project at Harvard focuses on the intersection of printmaking and calligraphy in the work of the early sixteenth-century writer Johann Neudörffer the Elder. Susanne is currently writing a book on Neudörffer’s manuscript notes on artists and craftsmen active in Nuremberg in Dürer’s lifetime. Dating back to her work as a print cataloguer for the British Museum, Susanne also has a strong interest in the history of printmaking.
