Milbach, Juliette

Juliette Milbach has been focusing in her research on the circulation of art in Eastern Europe and the United States in particular, examining periodicals not only as sources but also as art objects. Her thesis (defended in 2014 at the University of Paris 1 and soon to be published) placed the status of the artist in the Soviet Union within a broader social history of art in the USSR. Her current project examines the careers of several artists who all came from the Pale of Settlement (Ukraine, Belarus) to become illustrators, lithographers, and sometimes painters in New York.
