The lecture title sets its historical frame—mountains in nineteenth-century France—but the event listing does not explain what “remaking” means in this talk. Kelly Presutti is the named speaker for KU’s public lecture at the Spencer Museum of Art.
The speaker’s academic range
Presutti is an assistant professor of History of Art and Visual Studies at Cornell University. She is also a faculty affiliate in Environment and Sustainability and American Studies, giving attendees context for her academic affiliations without establishing how those fields will shape this particular lecture.

A broad subject, not a preview of specific works
The event page and the Kress Foundation Department of Art History’s Fall 2026 calendar identify the program as a public lecture titled “Remaking Mountains in Nineteenth-Century France.” Neither provides an abstract or names a mountain region, artwork or argument. The title gives the available guide to the topic, rather than a confirmed case study.
