Lizzie Frasco is a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University working on the art and architecture of the Americas in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where she majored in visual studies and the history of art. Her main areas of research include Mexican muralism and American WPA murals, women artists in the early modern period, art and architecture in nineteenth century Havana, the craft arts and the concept of the “decorative,” outsider art with special regard to Jamaica and Haiti, the international influence of Italian arte povera, early American muralism in dialogue with “Latin America,” and Latino art and culture in the United States. The intellectual models of international “modernism” and post-colonialism are integral to her research, as is the development of a more hemispheric approach to the study of the art of the Americas.
