    This course provides an introduction to the diversity of twentieth century visual culture of the United States, within the historical, social, and cultural contexts in which it is created. It will analyze ways in which American visual artists chose to respond to the issues of race, ethnicity, class and gender and explore how these concepts shaped their individual and identities and those of various cultural groups. Throughout the course we will endeavor to answer several questions: What is the significance of race/ethnicity, class and gender in 20th century and contemporary American art In what ways have the intersections of these categories shaped the experiences of American artists and their audiences at various historical moments during this century How do race, ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality inform representation in art and media culture We will also study how academic and public discourse explain/camouflage/reproduce race, class, and gender. Discussion will be focused on individual works of art, including photography, film, installation and video, and on historical and theoretical writings related to the problematic of human difference.
