Professor of Art Véronique Plesch is coeditor of the newly released book Water and Sea in Word and Image / L’Eau et la mer dans les textes et les images (Brill, 2023), a selection of papers drawn from the 2021 International Association of Word and Image Studies conference. Plesch also contributed a paper to the book, “The River of Life: Drawing Lessons from Thomas Cole in Images and Words” (pages 128–143). Summer research assistants Ari Trueba ’23 and Lydia Burke ’24 helped Plesch with preparation of the book’s text, and the design for the book’s cover is based on a template created by Rachel Tobie ’04.
