| Description: | This sophomore seminar explores American art and material culture from the aftermath of the Civil War to the dawn of the twentieth century. Readings and classroom discussions consider the interplay between artworks and complex cultural and historical developments of the period including the rise of international travel and trade, rapid industrialization and urbanization, mass consumerism, growing income inequality, immigration, the crisis of faith, the closing of the West, and the changing status of women and African Americans. Key artists to be considered include James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, Thomas Eakins,
Mary Cassatt, and Henry Ossawa Tanner. We will end the semester with a sustained
consideration of the work of Winslow Homer, in which major concerns of the Gilded Age-about truth and falsehood, the boundaries of citizenship, and the power of art-converge.

| 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: | This course provides an introduction to art of the American West in a multicultural context. The West has held a central place in America's collective consciousness since the nation's founding. We will explore the defining myths of the West from the late eighteenth century to the present
and how the region has been continually reinvented through an array of visual media including maps, paintings, photographs, films, guidebooks, and performance art. Topics include the construction of national and regional identities, expansionism, the national park system, landscape and ethnic tourism, Japanese internment, the west as modernist icon, and the aesthetics of Native survival and resistance. Classes will be discussion-based.
This course is designed to emphasize different forms of scholarly writing. While we will read and discuss primary and secondary sources throughout the semester, a large component of the class will be the development and refinement of a series of student papers that practice the skills of descriptive and critical writing. Short writing assignments and revisions will be due throughout the term.

| Description: | The late sixteenth century was a time of crisis and conflict. Change echoed across Europe and its Empires. Religious reform, scientific discovery, and political upheaval shook the foundations of early modern society. Yet from this turbulent time, an era of extraordinary artistic achievement emerged, defined by a dynamic new visual language. This course will examine how 'the Baroque' became a global language, from its early beginnings in Rome, to Spain, France, Flanders and the Dutch Republic, even extending beyond the borders of Europe to Asia and the Americas. In addition to studying leading artists such as Caravaggio, Bernini, Rubens, Vermeer and Velázquez, important themes to be considered include: Space and Spectacle in Urban Planning; the Mundane and Profane in still life and genre; Collections and Curios; the Church Triumphant; and the Portrait.

| Description: | This course will survey sculpture in Europe and the United States from about 1800 to the present, with an emphasis on the period 1890-1980. A rapid traverse of Neoclassicism, Realism, and the rage for statuary in the later 19th century will take us to the work of Rodin and a more systematic exploration of developments in sculpture of the 20th century. Particular emphasis will also be given to the work of Brancusi, Picasso, Matisse, Duchamp, Giacometti, Oppenheim, David Smith, Serra, Morris, Judd, Hesse, and Bourgeois. An important theme running through the course as a whole, from an age of nationalism and manufacturing to our own time of networks and information, is the changing definition of sculpture itself within its social and political context. We will also explore various new artistic practices-video, performance, installations and body art, for instance-and interrogate their relationship to sculptural tradition and innovation. Prereq: 112, Intro to Western Art, or 211 Intro to Modern Art, or permission of instructor. |

| Description: | Sex, drama, and tourism: through case studies of the most influential Japanese print artists, this course focuses on courtesans, actors, and travelers during the Edo period. These prints depict life in and around the new capital of Edo (Tokyo), including the pleasure quarters, fashion and consumer culture, actors and kabuki theater, gender and class, travel for purpose and for pleasure, and famous landscape print series. To build skills in digital art history, this course will train students to use ArcGIS online and ESRI Storymaps through a series of workshops integrated with Japanese print culture.

| Description: | From textbooks to museums to private collections, we experience histories of modern art though selections that present narratives of which art matters the most-- to artists, to critics, to the general public, and, supposedly, to history as a whole. How have established canons come to be, who are they for, and how do they resist or engage revision over time? This course examines narratives of modernism and its relationship to rhetorics of criticism, the power of the art market, sensationalized biographies, the practices of collectors and museums, nationalistic interests, and histories of exclusion. Who rises to the top in significance? In what ways have women artists, artists of color, and LGBTQ artists been included or excluded? Artists may include but are not limited to Manet, Monet, Morisot, Cassatt, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, Claudel, Tanner, Sickert, Valadon, Duchamp, Cahun, Picasso, Beckmann and Krasner. Students will research comparative case studies, and creative their own alternative timelines of modern art, 1870-1950.

| Description: | The question of the materiality of borders has attained new urgency with the resurgence of nationalist and anti-globalist movements. Calls for a "big, beautiful wall" on the U.S.-Mexico border are but one striking example of this phenomenon. A wall, a fence, a line, or zone may focus attention on a narrow space, yet does so at the expense of broader narratives of structural inequality, the lingering violence of colonialism and the rapid scale of climate change. The simplicity of a barrier is a particularly damaging fiction, one that avoids examinations of the larger forces that divide us. This upper-level and graduate seminar will delve into the history of
"border art" as a category, whether public art, sculpture, installation, new media, or performance, using the U.S.-Mexico border as an extended in-depth case study. Analysis will not be limited to this region, as the course encourages a comparative approach that places disparate regions into dialogue with each other. In addition, we will also consider the issue of divides and borders locally, within the St. Louis area and its suburbs.

| Description: | 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. |
