AHis 302Z - American Art and the Western Tradition

Institution:

SUNY at Albany

Subject:

Description:

By focusing on types of art (the portrait, history painting, genre painting, landscape art, etc.) and artistic styles (Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, etc.) the course will examine the development of American art from its European origins. The main focus of the course is how American art-even with its European origins-becomes distinctively American. Particular attention will be given to American art that can be seen locally, from the Hudson River Collection in the Albany Institute of Art and History to the Tiffany windows in Albany and Schenectady.
