Clarisse Fava-Piz

Clarisse Fava-Piz is a doctoral student in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at the University of Pittsburgh, where she specializes in nineteenth-century Art of Europe and the Americas. Her dissertation examines transatlantic exchanges in sculpture between France, the United States, and Argentina during the period of Rodin, and analyzes issues of mobility and artistic identity in the creation and the translation of monuments from Parisian Salon culture to the public space. Clarisse received her M.A. in Art History from the Université Paris Ouest Nanterre - La Défense. Her master’s thesis explored questions of transnationalism and cultural transfers brought about by the migration of Spanish sculptors from Madrid and Barcelona to Paris at the turn of the twentieth century. She has previously held positions at the Getty Research Institute, the Galerie Patrice Bellanger, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art in Paris. In June 2016, she was an invited lecturer at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where she gave a talk on “Miguel Blay en París: Esculpir en la época de Rodin.”
