Anne Dymond teaches art history and museum studies. Her research focuses on the politics of cultural identity in early twentieth century France and the relation between fine art, museums, and popular culture. She is currently working on a book entitled Exhibiting Provence: Cultural Identity and the French Nation, 1890-1914. Her essay “A Politicized Pastoral: Paul Signac and the Cultural Geography of Mediterranean France” was published in The Art Bulletin, and a version was reprinted in Modern Art and the Idea of the Mediterranean (University of Toronto Press, ed. Vojt?ch Jirat-Wasiuty?ski with the assistance of Anne Dymond). She has also published on the display of women and fashion in the 1900 World's Fair, and on contemporary Canadian artists Mary Kavanagh and Nicholas Wade. She has a forthcoming article that situates Henri Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre within the cultural politics of north and south.
