AH 265 - China/Europe/Japan:Art and International Trade

Institution:

Colorado College

Subject:

Description:

Considers the impact on art of expanding sea trade between Europe and East Asia in the early modern period. Begins by examining what goods went where; how increasingly global trade affected particular economies; how the East India companies operated; and what effects stepped-up contact had stylistically and iconographically on art forms such as porcelain, prints and paintings. On a more theoretical level, the course addresses "things foreign" as a means of asserting cultural authority at home; and the impact of vastly expanded markets on the artist's practice and identity. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Diverse Cultures and Critiques requirement.) (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
