Christopher Hunt

Christopher Hunt is a PhD candidate writing his dissertation on the British collecting of French art in the late nineteenth century, with an emphasis on landscapes, rural genre scenes, and depictions of peasant labor. He graduated in 2018 with an MA in art history from the University of Iowa, where he wrote his qualifying paper on German artist Käthe Kollwitz and the depiction of peasants in her Weavers' Revolt cycle. Before this, he graduated in 2015 with a BA in history from the University of Michigan, where his senior thesis investigated depictions of the collectivization of agriculture in photojournals from the Soviet Union during the First Five-Year Plan (1928–1932)
