Subject:

Description:

The American Renaissance (1876-1917) was a period of intense contradictions: explosive economic expansion and the concomitant creation of monopolies, seen against an increasing visible gap between the rich and the poor. Amidst the impressive socio-economic changes that took place at the turn of the century, architects, painters, sculptors, and decorators of the American Renaissance created some of the most outstanding and most sophisticated examples of American art. The artistic production of the period is indicative of the artists' extensive training and their desire to embellish their country with the very best money could buy. This lecture course will discuss the unparalled artistic production of the time in all its manifestations, with particular attention to the cultural factors that detemined the life of the "Gilded Age." Offeredalternate years. Three hours. Ms. Terrono.
