Tomasz Grusiecki is Associate Professor of Early Modern European Art and Material Cultures at Boise State University
‘Tomasz Grusiecki's learned and theoretically informed Transcultural things is not only an important contribution to scholarship on early modern (Central and Eastern) Europe. His treatment of material evidence regarding Orientalism injects an important argument into ongoing discussions of cultural identity and appropriation.’ Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann is Frederick Marquand Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University ‘Debates over originality and cultural distinctness have been studied outside art history for more than forty years, yet have still barely made a dent in the national culture model of the discipline. Grusiecki's intervention is especially welcome for its nuanced critical framing and the depth of his knowledge of a rich body of material evidence.’ Claire Farago, Professor Emerita, University of Colorado Boulder -- .
