Dr. Bailey received a B.A. and M.A. from the University of Toronto in 1989 and 1990, respectively, and a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1996. He has been at Clark since 1997. He is affiliated with the programs in Asian Studies and Communication and Culture, and is currently program director for Art History.
Current Research and TeachingDr. Bailey's areas of interest include Renaissance and Baroque art in Italy, as well as the arts of colonial Latin America and Asia. Professor Bailey specializes in Jesuit art patronage and in the interaction of cultures that took place after Columbus' and Vasco da Gama's 'discovery' of America and Asia (1492; 1498), particularly in the hybrid art forms that resulted from these encounters.
Dr. Bailey has written over forty articles and authored or co-authored six books on Renaissance and Baroque, Latin American, and Asian/Islamic art. His book, Art on the Jesuit Missions in Asia and Latin America (1999) won the Bainton Prize in Art History in 2000. He has recently completed two new books, Between Renaissance and Baroque: Jesuit Art in Rome, 1565-1610 (2003), the result of a 2000-01 Fellowship at Villa I Tatti, the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence, Italy, and Art of Colonial Latin America (2005), part of the “Art & Ideas” series from Phaidon Press in London.
Dr. Bailey is currently working on two new books. One of them, Andean Forms and Symbolism in the Mestizo Style Architecture of Colonial Peru, is the product of research carried out in 2004-2005 in archives in Peru, Bolivia, and Italy. The other, Baroque & Rococo, has been commissioned by Phaidon Press for their “Arts & Ideas” Series.
Professor Bailey has also curated museum exhibitions on Renaissance, Baroque, and Asian Art, including “Hope and Healing: Painting in Italy in a Time of Plague 1500-1800” at the Worcester Art Museum (April 3-September 25, 2005). In 2001 he appeared on the PBS program NOVA, providing background on Chinese trade and ceramics for an episode entitled "The Sultan's Lost Treasure."
