This course examines the role of art in a contemporary society inundated with visual imagery. We will situate the major art movements of the 1960s and 70s (Pop, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Performance) within the socio-historical context of the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. The course considers how contemporary art comments upon such diverse issues of race, gender and sexuality. We will also look at how the critic, the gallery and the museum help to determine how art is defined. Satisfied Gen Ed Domain 2 requirement. Required for all Art majors. Offered once every year.
