How did Shakespeare highlight visual art in his plays, and in what ways have they inspired visual artists over the last four centuries?

Prof. Clark Hulse will speak on “Shakespeare and the Visual Arts,” which will explore how Shakespearean stories have inspired artistic creation over the last four centuries, garnered a wide international audience, and attracted artists working in a variety of media. Distant as their original theater performances may be, the Folio plays continue to thrive, to be reimagined, and to acquire new meanings within many forms of visual culture.
Clark Hulse is Professor Emeritus of English and Art History and Dean Emeritus of the Graduate College at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He publishes on Shakespeare, visual culture, and the artistic circle of Hans Holbein the Younger.
