Description:

This course surveys European art from 1940 to 1980, with the inclusion of comparative examples of global contemporary art. A major focus of this course will be the changes in the visual arts from the concept of the "avant-garde" to the conception of an artist as a cultural creator. While exploring movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, and Pop Art, students are encouraged to consider how their own artistic practice contributes to the shaping of cultural environment, as well as the social responsibility attached to that practice. Prerequisites: ARTH 111 and ARTH 112, or instructor permission. Three credit hours.
