Heidi Gearhart’s research explores how artists and artistic projects were recorded in the high Middle Ages (ca. 1050–1200) in the Low Countries and northern France. By examining images of artists and texts about art-making as deliberately recorded memories, Gearhart analyzes the functions they serve: as tools to define social hierarchies, or as expressions of morals and power.
