"IFPDA BOOK AWARD: Paper Knives, Paper Crowns; Political Prints in the Dutch Republic"
October 3, 2023
2023 IFPDA Foundation Book Award Lecture with award recipient Maureen Warren, in conversation with Daniel Horst, and Meredith Hale for an exploration of the satirical visual strategies that early modern Netherlandish printmakers-such as Joan Blaeu, Romeyn de Hooghe, Willem Jacobsz and Claes Jansz Visscher-used to memorialize historical events, lionize (or demonize) domestic and international leaders, and instigate collective action. Published for an exhibition at Krannert Art Museum, Paper Knives, Paper Crowns provides a chronological arc and thematic overview of Netherlandish political prints, addressing multiple types of printmaking as well as the medium’s relationship to other art forms, engaging with art historical scholarship and studies of early modern political history and theory in the process.
