| Description: | 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. |

| Description: | The Aztec and Inka, arguably the best-known cultures of the ancient Americas, produced a wide range of arts that served imperial goals. Material culture including sculpture, architecture, textiles, and ceramics embodied ideological power for the Aztec and Inka's diverse conquered subjects. This course traces the roles that art and architecture played in the Aztec and Inka empires, both as tools of conquest and, following the European encounter, as victims of conquest.
As a writing-intensive course, students will consider Aztec and Inka imperial arts and will contend with the way they understand non-western art. The first half of the course will address the imperial agency of Aztec and Inka objects. In the second part, students will examine the afterlife of the works from a post-colonial perspective. Finally, incorporating indigenous points of view, students will endeavor to decolonize their understanding and writing about Aztec and Inka art.

| Description: | This course surveys the arts and archaeology of Mesoamerica (present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Central America) from 1500 BCE to 1521 CE. Beginning with early advanced civilizations and ending with the Spanish conquest, we will examine the material culture of selected cultures as our point of entry into the understanding of ancient social, political, and religious life. Visual analysis of sculpture, painting, ceramics, architecture, and other art forms will be supplemented by archaeological evidence, Colonial documents, theory of religions, epigraphy, and the natural sciences. We will also critically read contemporary scholarship in order to address class themes of ideology, regional interaction, sacred landscape, writing, and materiality.

| Description: | This course provides an overview of transcultural encounters within and beyond Europe circa 1450 to 1650. During this period, visual forms and artistic practices linked places in disparate corners of the world, such as Venice and Istanbul, Mexico City and Florence, Manila and Acapulco, Amsterdam and Agra. Focusing on cities as cosmopolitan centers of artistic production, the course will consider the mercantile networks, imperial strategies, and artistic technologies that heightened the mobility of art, as well as the local manifestations and native traditions that continually reshaped it.
Students will gain a deeper understanding of the diversity of art and architecture during this period of increased cultural exchange, cultivate tools of art-historical analysis, and hone skills in presenting such analysis in written form. |

| Description: | This course will consider the practice and use of photography in America from its invention up to the present, offering various ways of thinking about the medium and its relation to society and culture. Students will come to understand the ways photographic practices shape public perceptions of national identity, ethnicity and gender, nature, democratic selves, and a host of other concerns. We will discuss famous practitioners such as Matthew Brady, Jacob Riis, Lewis Hine, Walker Evans, and Robert Frank. We consider not only the social and public uses of the medium through such episodes as the New Deal/FSA and photojournalism, but also the private explorations of 'fine art' photographers, and the everyday practices of the snapshot.
Prereqs: Intro to Western (L01 112) or Intro to Modern (211), or one course in American History, American Cultural Studies, or permission of the instructor.

| Description: | Discourse about African American identity has been indelibly shaped by the nexus of language and visual representations that configure blackness as a deviant other to the West and U.S. citizenship. From racist caricature in travel narratives and pro-slavery tracts, to contemporary representations of "welfare queens" and "thugs," visual representations serve as allegedly transparent, and objective, examples of the perpetual and inevitable failure of people of African descent to be human. To combat these representations, many photographers, visual artists, and film and television producers have attempted to challenge and subvert this history of visual imperialism. Combatting this imperialism requires untangling the web of raced and gendered representations shaping what Patricia Hill Collins has called "controlling images" of African Americans-images such as Mammy, the pickaninny, Sapphire, Jezebel, the Welfare Queen, Coon, Sambo, Thug, and Man on the Down Low. At the same time, even discourses of respectability and "good" blackness can contribute to hegemony. In this course, we'll begin with representations of the slave in the 19th century and end with representations of (an always) gendered blackness in social media in order to explore the ways in which African American male and female identities have been shaped and resisted in visual culture. |

| Description: | Among the many accomplishments in the history of Greco-Roman art, ancient writers especially valued the development of pictorial illusion. Pictorial illusion refers to the techniques of reproducing or approximating aspects of the visual perception of the material world on a two-dimensional surface. These include foreshortening, the application of highlights, and the indication of multiple points of depth in space relative to the picture plane. The purpose of the course is to explore the material, stylistic, and technical history of illusionistic painting practices in the ancient Mediterranean world from Classical Greece to Late Antique Rome and to seek to understand the cultural and social significance of those practices. In addition to examining specific historical questions in the development of ancient painting, the course will investigate trans-historical connections between vision, visuality, and methods of representation. Prerequisites: One of L01 112, L01 113, L01 211, or L01 215; one 300-level course in Art History preferred; or permission of instructor. |

| Description: | From 1500 to 1800, Europeans primarily used exported porcelains and lacquers to engage with China and Japan, which were neither under colonial control, nor easily accessible by travel. Collected first in kunstkammers by rulers and nobles as emblems of power, these initially rare, exotic luxuries retained their prestige even as they became more widely available and explicitly gendered. Combining deep object studies with collectors' case studies from across Europe, this course examines how early modern Europeans used porcelains and lacquers to satisfy their curiosity about and material desire for China and Japan. In addition to practical training in essential primary sources such as inventories, it will also introduce theories of luxury and consumption, gift exchange, cross-cultural interaction, material culture, and the global movement of objects. |

| Description: | Many areas of 20th century US culture between World Wars I and II were inspired by post-revolutionary Mexico. The Mexican Revolution (1910-1917) profoundly reoriented modern Mexico, introducing new cultural and aesthetic forms and historical themes over subsequent decades. Mexican artists contributed to a new national consciousness drawing on indigenous Mexico and on the new politics of workers and peasants, given monumental expression in mural painting. The bidirectional exchange between US and Mexican artists was of great importance for the cultural revitalization of the New Deal and after in the US. Among artists, writers, anthropologists, and tourists, the vogue for things Mexican was fed by many sources, including increasing travel, diplomatic exchange, and a yearning for alternatives to US modernity. The seminar will support travel to Mexico City, funded by the Art History and Archaeology Department. Must be a graduate student, or an undergraduate major or minor in Art History and Archaeology. Recommended courses: one 300- or 400-level course in 20th c. US art or history; or one relevant course in Latin American Studies program. |

| Description: | This course will examine some of the public controversies that surround the development of modern art over the last 150 years, to probe the question of the social and political functions of transgressive art. After reviewing key theories of the avant-garde, we analyze both the persona of the modern artist (e.g. Van Gogh, Picasso, Pollock) and the place of women artists in the revolutions of modernism (e.g. Cassatt, Hoch, Kahlo). A key issue to address is how modernism tests limits by asking what is (and is not) art (Duchamp and Brancusi). Some of the most controversial exhibitions in this time frame, from the Salon des Refuses in 1863 to Mirroring Evil in 2002, highlight the challenges raised by modern artists' treatment of the body. Controversies over public funding of contemporary art, debates waged over public art in St. Louis, and the recent episodes of iconoclasm with respect to Confederate monuments and memorials will close the course.
