The Art History program at Penn explores the extensive legacy of projected, reproducible, and moving imagery. Numerous faculty in the History of Art graduate group specialize in this field, including Shira Brisman (Early Modern), Julie Nelson Davis (Japanese prints and film), Andr Dombrowski (19th-century photography and print culture), Sonal Khullar (photography, 20th- and 21st-century film and moving-image art), Michael Leja (mass media, encompassing print culture, photography, and early cinema), Kevin Platt (Soviet film), Karen Redrobe (cinema, photography, video, and media theory), Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw (North American and Latin American film, critical race theory), Chenshu Zhou (Chinese cinema and film exhibition), and Liliane Weissberg (Frankfurt School studies). Students also collaborate with core Cinema and Media Studies faculty: Peter Decherney (American film history, copyright, and media policy), Meta Mazaj (Balkan cinema, global art film, and film festivals), and Rahul Mukherjee (South Asian and African cinema and media, media ecology).

Qualification Requirements
The committee reviews each application very carefully and weighs all aspects of a candidate's preparation for graduate study. The primary elements of the application include: academic transcript, (3) letters of recommendations, TOEFL scores for international students, personal statement (1000 word maximum), and writing sample (30 double-spaced pages maximum, including images). All offer insights into a student's past achievements and prospects for future development. It is normally expected that students have a solid background in art history, but it is not necessary to have majored in art history. In addition, applicants should demonstrate good proficiency in at least one foreign language. Two foreign languages will be required of all Ph.D and MA students before they advance to candidacy. GRE Test are no longer required for admissions.
