Haverford College

Subject:

Description:

HU R.Oberter We will examine the 19th C as an age of "ocularcentrism." At this time, a culture of looking emerged with the development of new visual technologies and the opening of art museums. In the middle of the century, Europeans and Americans alike had great confidence in vision. This course will look at moments of both optimism and skepticism about the ability of the brush, the pencil, and the camera to capture what the eye could see and what it could not.
