2039-410 - The Art of Art History

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course will trace the history of how we look, talk and write about those things that western culture calls "art." The course will concentrate, in a looselychronological manner, on the development of art history and criticism from its roots in 18th century Germany to a multiplicity of viewpoints of the late 20th century. This inquiry will examine the people behind a tradition within the literature of the visual arts that not only re-examined the same issues, but also challenged, expanded and elaborated on one another's work. The course will show art history and our conception of art as something that is always under revision and is always in fl ux. (2039-225, 2039-226, 2039-227 and a non-20th Century Art History elective) Credit 3
