ART 227 - Realism to Impresionism

Institution:

Assumption University

Subject:

Description:

This course seeks to explore the major avant-garde movements in Western Art in the second half of the 19th century. Concurrent with the evolution of a modern society, as well as technological advances such as photography, Realism in England, France, Germany and other European nations, as well as in America, sought to combine an awareness of the changing social milieu of new urban centers and redefined rural areas with a penetrating modern vision and style. Subsequent formal and thematic innovations in Aestheticism and Impressionism redefined ideas of the subject of art and its means. This class will explore these works in terms of contemporary criticism, painting practice, and the construction of Modernism in this period. Norris/ Three credits
