Laurie Schneider Adams received her Phd in art history from Columbia University. She is professor emerita at John Jay College, CUNY, where she taught art history for 45 years. At the CUNY graduate center she taught Italian Renaissance art, art and psychoanalysis, methodologies of art, and artists' biographies.
With Allison Coudert she coauthored five children's books about girls at a private school in New York. With Maria Grazia Pernis, she coauthored a book on Lucrezia Tornabuoni, the mother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, and the Medici family as well as a study of the lives and of Federico da Montefeltro of Urbino and Sigismondo Malatesta of Rimini. With Jacques Szaluta she co-edited Psychoanalysis and the Humanities, a collection of essays on art, literature, history, and psychoanalysis.
Adams has published widely in the field of art history, including introductory text books and books on methods of artistic analysis, art and psychoanalysis, and the Italian Renaissance.
Munch's The Scream. Van Gogh's Starry Night. Rodin's The Thinker. Monet’s water lilies. Constable's landscapes. The nineteenth-century gave us a wealth of artistic riches so memorable in their genius that we can picture many of them at an instant. However, at the time their avant-garde nature was the cause of much controversy.
Professor Laurie Schneider Adams brings vividly to life the paintings, sculpture, photography and architecture of the period vividly with her infectious enthusiasm for art and detailed explorations of individual works. Offering fascinating biographical details and the relevant social, political and cultural context, Adams provides the reader with an understanding of both how revolutionary the works were at the time and of their enduring appeal.
