Alexander Nemerov is a renowned scholar and the Fall 2023 Knapp Chair in the Liberal Arts at USD. He is also author of more than a dozen books and exhibition catalogues on a wide variety of 19th- and 20th-century cultural topics. Nemerov has written persuasively about Frederick Remington and Diane Arbus, about 19th-century still life painting and classic Hollywood cinema, always with insight and poetic flair. Throughout his career, Nemerov’s work has been cited for its intellectual risk-taking. His latest book, "The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s" (Princeton University Press, 2023), is based upon the 66th A. W. Mellon Lectures, which he delivered at the National Gallery of Art in 2017. "The Forest" has been praised as exceptional by academics and popular readers alike: “Neither history nor fiction, the book offers dozens of gem-like stories of [Americans’] last real encounters” with unspoiled landscapes. Nemerov will read excerpts from his highly original book, followed by a dialogue with Derrick Cartwright, PhD, an associate professor of art history at USD, who will explore his unconventional take on forest environments and their implications both within and beyond today’s academy. Copies of "The Forest" will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Visit: https://www.sandiego.edu/events/detail.php?_focus=89430
