ART 325 - 19th Century European Art: Revisionist Readings

Institution:

Hollins University

Subject:

Description:

Department Feminist, postcolonial, and social-historical methodologies have contributed greatly to the transformation of the study of 19th-century European visual culture. Scholars employing these revisionist practices, have, for example, expanded the canon, questioning accepted definitions of modernity; studied the impact of class, race, ethnicity and gender on the production and reception of works of art; deconstructed the power dynamics of the art world; and offered fresh and often contemporary interpretations of monumental works and movements of this era. The course comprises a series of readings of these revisionist texts relating to such movements as Impressionism, Pre- Raphaelitism, and Post-Impressionism, and such specific themes as visual culture's relationship to empire building, the representation of female sexuality, and the visual culture of urbanization. Also listed as GWS 325. Prerequisite: ART 264. Not offered in 2008-09. (w, x, r, AES, MOD)
