Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

This course traces transformations of the practice, function, and social and political meanings of the art of painting throughout the 19th century in France. Moving from David's images of revolution and empire, to the Impressionists' renderings of the world of bourgeois pleasures, to Cézanne's redefinition of the nature of pictorial form, it considers such issues as the role of the academy, the changing notion of the artist, the function of theory and art criticism, and the relationship between painting and the new art of photography.
