Adrienne Baxter Bell’s scholarship centers on American art and cultural history from the pre-colonial period to the present, with a focus on the nineteenth century. Her graduate work at Columbia University was supported by grants from Columbia and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, as well as the Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship from The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. It culminated in her dissertation, “George Inness: Painting Philosophy,” an analysis of the metaphysical underpinnings of Inness’s life and work. While at Columbia, she authored George Inness and the Visionary Landscape (George Braziller, Inc., 2003) and curated an exhibition of the same name (National Academy of Design, New York, 2003-04; San Diego Museum of Art, 2004). She published her second book, George Inness: Writings and Reflections on Art and Philosophy, in 2007. Dr. Bell has delivered lectures and participated in symposia at New York University; the Thomas Cole National Historic Site; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Museo di Santa Giulia, Brescia; and other locations. She recently presented her work at the annual conferences of the College Art Association and the Nineteenth Century Studies Association. Her current research explores the impact of spirituality and the growing understanding of consciousness on the visual vocabulary of early American and European modernists; she is also conducting research on how these ideas continue to resonate with contemporary artists. At MMC, she teaches both sections of the Western Art Survey, seminars in Ancient and Classical Art, Medieval Art and Architecture, American Art, and the Senior Art History Seminar. She also co-teaches interdisciplinary study-abroad courses in France and Italy, such as “Art and Philosophy in Venice."

Degrees
B.F.A., Tyler School of Art
M.F.A., Maryland Institute College of Art
Hallie Cohen received her M.F.A. from the Hoffberger School of Painting of the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she studied with the painter Grace Hartigan and received the Henry Walters Traveling Fellowship. She received her B.F.A from the Tyler School of Art where she majored in painting and drawing and minored in printmaking. She has been at Marymount Manhattan since 1974 where she has taught drawing, figure drawing, painting, design, watercolor and art history to two generations of art and non-art majors. As curator of thePhiloctetes Center for the Multidisciplinary Study of Imagination, Cohen recently organized an exhibition, With or Without Permission: Appropriation, Assemblage and Collage, that explored “the art of collecting, sorting, and arranging the ephemera and detritus of life to connect the imaginative and the real.” She paints in watercolor, creates sculptures and three-dimensional installations and illustrates writer Francis Levy’s short stories and humor. Her current work in watercolor uses the concept of appropriation and collage to create a series of new works based on revisiting and reconfiguring her older work through digital scanning and repainting. Professor Cohen is a founding member of the artists’ group Retrogarde, exhibiting her work at Westbeth Gallery, The Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center, La Mama’s La Galleria, A.I.R. Gallery and the Terry Schreiber Studio Gallery.
