Introduction to Modern Art, Architecture and Design

Save Cancel My Note:

An introduction to major developments in modern art, architecture and design in Europe, the Americas, and across the globe from the mid nineteenth century to the present. Focus will be on the history and theories of modernism and its international legacies, and the relationship of the visual arts, architecture and visual culture more generally to the social, cultural and political contexts of the modern era. While the precise topics covered may vary from one instructor to another, foundational movements and trends to be discussed will typically include Beaux-Arts style, the Arts and Crafts Movement, Impressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau, Cubism, Dada, Surrealism, Purism, Art Deco, the Bauhaus, the International Style, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism and Post-Modernism. Cross-currents in various media will be emphasized as we seek to understand the origins and complexity of modern visual forms in relation to political and cultural history and to critical theory. Students will engage a wide range of readings in historical sources, theories composed by artists, architects and designers, critical responses to the arts, and secondary critical literature. NO PREREQUISITE.

Writing Intensive Topics: Art of Anthropology and the Anthropology of Art

Save Cancel My Note:

How have anthropologists looked at art, and how have artists adopted the guise of the anthropologist? The first half of the class will explore the history of anthropologists' inquiry into the visual arts. In the second half of the course we will turn our attention to the ways in which artists have taken on the role of anthropologist. Beginning with Hal Foster's seminal essay "Artist as Ethnographer" (1996), we will explore the strategies that artists have adopted in order to ask ethnographic questions of the world. Finally, we will turn toward artists who have used their practice as a means of critiquing anthropological paradigms and the imbalanced structures of colonial hegemony they have historically embodied. As a final project, students will each design and execute an artistic project guided by anthropological or ethnographic questions.

Greek and Roman Painting

Save Cancel My Note:

This course provides a survey of the major achievements of ancient Greek and Roman painting, broadly understood and encompassing wall painting, panel painting, painted pottery, and mosaic. We will study monuments ranging over a millennium in time and located throughout the ancient Mediterranean. Particular attention will be paid to the social, political, and religious aspects of ancient Greco-Roman painting, and to questions of innovation in artistic practice. Special emphasis will be placed on students' cultivation of the tools of art-historical analysis, and of the presentation of that analysis in written form. Prerequisites: Intro to Western Art (L01 113) or Intro to Modern Art (L01 215) or permission of instructor.

Nineteenth-Century Art and Visual Culture

Save Cancel My Note:

This course introduces students to nineteenth-century art and visual culture. The story of the long-nineteenth century (1789-1914) has tended to be taught as a series of -isms: Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism and Naturalism, Impressionism, and Symbolism, ending in fauvism. This course studies canonical artists and artworks in tandem with counter- or alter-histories of art in order to paint a more nuanced picture of the approximately 100 years (1814-1914) under exploration. This course questions how current stories of nineteenth-century art have been produced and codified. This course lastly highlights the continued relevance of nineteenth-century art and visual culture to contemporary artists working today. Prereqs: Intro to Western Art (L01 113) or Intro to Modern Art (L01 215), or permission of instructor. Prereqs: Intro to Western Art (L01 113) or Intro to Modern Art (L01 215), or permission of instructor.

Global Contemporary Photography

Save Cancel My Note:

This course explores contemporary photographic traditions from around the world. We begin by grappling with a few of the theoretical issues that lie at the heart of the medium's power, such as the aura of a photograph and its potential evidentiary value. We examine how photography emerged as distinct from other artistic forms such as painting and was deployed in unique ways across the globe to assert power, counter claims of hegemony, and express identity. The scope of the class is not limited to high-art photography, but also explores the family photography and vernacular traditions, focusing on a range of genres including portraiture, narrative, and performance. Finally, we end by exploring how contemporary photographers have stretched the potential of the medium by experimenting with digital technology and non-traditional modes of display. Prerequisites: Intro to Western Art (L01 113) or Intro to Modern Art (L01 215), or permission of instructor.

Rococo to Revolution: Art in Eighteenth-Century Europe

Save Cancel My Note:

The Long Eighteenth Century serves as a bridge between two fundamentally different times. The Europe of 1700 was dominated by absolutism and the ancien régime. The Europe of 1800 was in an age of revolution. This course will explore the dramatic shift in artistic representation and individual self-conception that occurred throughout the century to usher in our modern age. Important topics to be considered include: the rise of the Academy; the Enlightenment and the Encyclopédie; the Grand Tour; Art and Science; and the French Revolution. Focusing on the development of artistic trends, the course will address transformations in painting, sculpture and architecture throughout Europe.

Greek Art in Rome: Discourse, Dedication, and Reflection

Save Cancel My Note:

Throughout the modern period, Ancient Greek art has been perceived of as a genuinely original and creative tradition, in which both individual artists and regional schools made some of the most significant advances in the long development of European art. Roman art, by contrast, has been seen as derivative and secondary; Johann Joachim Wincklemann, the founder of modern art history, classified it among the "style of the imitators." But this traditional dichotomy rests in large part on the Romans' own reactions to their encounters with the arts of Greece. Through the analysis of textual sources, architecture, statuary and painting, this course will investigate the status and influence of Greek art in the city of Rome from the third-century BCE until the late Imperial period, and will seek to understand how Roman responses to and uses of Greek art have come to shape the modern perception of both traditions. Prerequisites: L01 112, L01 113, L01 211, or L01 215; one 300-level course in Art History preferred; or permission of instructor.

The Forbidden City

Save Cancel My Note:

Home to 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), the Forbidden City today occupies the heart of Beijing and comprises the largest ensembles of pre-modern architecture in China. This seminar examines the origins of the palace, its construction in early Ming, the coded symbolisms of its plan and decoration, the rituals of court, and the lives of its denizens, from emperors (including Pu Yi, the "last emperor") to concubines, from Jesuit missionaries to eunuchs. The course also considers the twentieth-century identity of the site as a public museum and the backdrop to major political events, as well as its role in the urban design and contemporary art of twenty-first century Beijing. Prereqs: L01 112, L01 113, L01 211, or L01 215; one 300-level course in Art History preferred; or permission of instructor.

The City in American Arts and Popular Culture, 1900-1940

Save Cancel My Note:

From the mid-nineteenth century forward, artists, writers, sociologists, and cultural critics have identified the city as the primary site of a vast array of historical changes associated with modernization. This course will explore the range of cultural responses to the new 20th century city up to World War II. The American city was seen as both an incubator of difference, and of mass conformity and manipulation; a dynamic space in which to form fluid networks that catalyzed new forms of creativity, and a place of strangers and social alienation. We will trace the history of these polarized responses in the 20th century arts and literature of the city, looking at the vibrant popular culture of film, vaudeville, and cross-dressing; new aesthetic forms such as collage and expressionism; and new urban subjects. Prereqs: 300-level course in American 20th c. Cultural History, American Art, Literature, or permission of instructor.

Global Impressionism

Save Cancel My Note:

How and why Impressionism has achieved this global reputation (positive, negative, and nuanced positions between those poles) has not been thoroughly or systematically interrogated. But this is precisely what this seminar proposes to do. This course maps the global dissemination, exhibit-ion, reception, and publication of French Impressionism, in tandem with the rise of local Impressionisms worldwide. Globalization must be understood as concomitant with localization. This course attends to especially critical exhibitions, publications, and places must be understood to underscore that there always remains more work to be accomplished in the production of a truly global art history. It scrutinizes how the physical translation of French Impressionist artworks foreshadowed, coincided, and fostered its stylistic translation into local Impressionisms and literary translation into histories of Impressionism. Prereqs: Intro to Western Art (L01 113) or Intro to Modern Art (L01 215); one 300-level course in Art History preferred; or permission of instructor.

The Digital Art Historian

Save Cancel My Note:

Within the humanities, the perceptions exists that art history lags behind other disciplines when it comes to technology adoption. And while the "digital humanities" are now widely embraced, the definition of the field remains mutable and even contested. Is it practical, theoretical, or a combination of approaches and methodologies? This course operates under the premise that what constitutes digital art history is less about rigid interpretations and practices, and more about creating a technologically astute and nimble professional capable of "learning to learn" technologies as they emerge; determining when and how a technology may be useful in research, instruction, and other professional work; and understanding how to effectively apply technology in a broad range of contexts. "The Digital Art Historian" will emphasize experiential learning though the use of digital tools and analysis of a range of digital projects, grounded in a rubric of critical reflection. By the end of the course, students will have a significantly more thorough understanding of how to be an art historian in an increasingly digital world. Meets for 8 sessions, typically held every other week. Prereq: Graduate standing in Art History and Archaeology Dept.
