Faculty

Art historian Allan Kohl has served as MCAD's visual resources librarian since 1987. He did his graduate work in art history at the University of Minnesota, where he received a Kress Foundation fellowship.

Kohl is particularly interested in the interaction of “high art” and popular visual culture—including materials such as theatrical posters, political cartoons, sheet-music covers, currency, and advertising—during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He currently teaches art history courses for the College of Continuing Education at the University of Minnesota.
