| Caroline Jones is Associate Professor of Art History at Boston University. She pursues issues of power in her art history scholarship: what works of art come to seem most eloquent at what times, and why, an examination of the "mainstream" tending to foreground male artists. She considers her work to be informed in a deep way by feminism and the critiques of power and hegemony that feminism offers. In her teaching, Dr. Jones integrates feminist artists, issues, and critiques along with discourses of the post-colonial, the postmodern and the queer, in order to question the center. Dr. Jones has published essays on John Cage, Andy Warhol, Clement Greenberg and Francis Picabia. Her books include Modern Art at Harvard (Abbeville, 1985); Bay Area Figurative Art (University of California Press, 1990); Picturing Science, Producing Art, coedited with Peter Galison (Routledge, 1998); and Machine in the Studio: Constructing the Postwar American Artist (University of Chicago Press, 1996), for which she was awarded the Charles Eldredge Prize from the National Museum of American Art. Dr. Jones has also received Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Humanities awards. She is currently completing a study of the impact of Clement Greenberg's criticism on postwar American art.
