This broadly chronological survey begins with Sargent and Cassett in the context of European traditions. Impressionism comes to America through the art of Chase and Hassam, and other members of 'The Ten'. Early Modernism follows with Henri, Glackens and Sloan, leading artists of 'The Eight' and the Ashcan painters, including Bellows. The major regionalists include Benton, Wood, and O'Keefe with Hopper emerging as the most significant artist of the century. With New York as the new center of Western art in post-war America, Pollock defines abstract Expressionism, followed by Warhol and Pop-Art. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Science & Letters College Humanities Department Course Attributes: Communications Requirement, Humanities Requirement
