This is a hybrid event taking place online and at the Whitworth Art Gallery on Oxford Road in the Study Centre, you can find the precise location here: https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/maps/interactive-map/?id=80 Albrecht Dürer’s material world: print culture in focus brings to campus three expert speakers: Jeanne Nuechterlein(York), Ulinka Rublack (Cambridge), and Alexander Marr (Cambridge). Each of these engaging, globally leading researchers will address topics related to key themes of the landmark exhibition Albrecht Dürer’s material world, on now at the Whitworth, The University of Manchester. This seminar series is supported by a grant from The John Rylands Research Institute and Library, which has lent important objects to the Whitworth exhibition.

Albrecht Dürer and the Making of Modernism, talk by Professor Ulinka Rublack Based on Rublack´s recent monograph Dürer´s Lost Masterpiece; Art and Society at the Dawn of a Global World (OUP, 2023), this talk queries the view that Dürer was predominantly a master of self-fashioning. For much of his career, he felt adrift between the multiple and conflicting voices of his age, unable to reconcile them within himself. This profound experience was one wellspring of his creativity. A re-reading of his career looks at the importance of painting for this master of print. It also emphasizes the importance of his merchant friends and emergence of new global collecting cultures at the end of Dürer´s life, as art markets diversified and the Reformations took hold. In sum, the talk proposes new answers to the question about what links Dürer to the making of modernism.
