Research Profile

Pyne studies and teaches the art of 19th and early 20th-century America, England, and Europe. She is especially interested in linkages between science, mysticism, and art, which she addressed in her first book, Art and the Higher Life: Painting and Evolutionary Thought in Late Nineteenth-Century America (University of Texas Press, 1996). Pyne's research on women artists in early 20th-century American modernism has culminated in her forthcoming book, Modernism and the Feminine Voice: O'Keeffe and the Women of the Stieglitz Circle (University of California Press, 2006). This book is the foundation of a major national exhibition she is organizing for the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, and the San Diego Museum of Art for 2007-08. She has held postdoctoral fellowships from the Smithsonian Institution and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center.
