This course engages students in a sustained exploration of the methods necessary to analyze visual images of women in their historical, racial, and class contexts, and to understand the status of women as producers, patrons, and audiences of art and architecture. We explore topics ranging from the analysis of the nude Venus type in Roman and later art to the work of such accomplished women artists across history as Artemesia Gentileschi, Berthe Morisot and Georgia O'Keeffe. Students will engage in a semester-long research project and present their findings to their fellow students.

Some classes will focus on an in-depth analysis of one or two artists while others will trace a broader picture. Among the topics considered will be the role of the fine arts and of the broader visual culture in constructing American Identities, and in defining the meanings of race, class, and gender. Artists discussed include painters such as Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, Thomas Cole, Robert Duncanson, Frederic Church, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakings, James McNeil Whistler and Mary Cassatt; sculptors include Harriet Powers, Hiram Powers, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens; photographers including Matthew Brady's Daguerreotypes, Alexander Gardner's Civil War photography, and Timothy O'Sullivan's and Carlton Watkins' landscapes.

This course explores 19th century art and the emergence of modern visual culture by mapping the major elements which led to the construction of 20th century spectacular society. It follows the different artistic shifts in 19th century art from classicism to romanticism to realism to symbolism and abstraction. It also examines the transformation of traditional genres, in particular history and landscape painting, in light of historical and political transformations within Europe and America. Alongside an analysis of changing artistic forms, this course links changes in representation to the development of visual practices and technological apparatuses such as the panorama, photography and film. By juxtaposing discussions of specific art works and an analysis of new visual and cultural apparatuses for the display of both art (museums) and commodities (world exhibitions), this course provides a comprehensive account of the modernization of perception and viewers in the 19th century. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Contemporary Arts College Art History Department Course Attributes: CA-School Core-300 Level, MJ-INTL-Area Studies-Europe

This course offers a general survey of European visual art during the first half of the 20th century. We will consider major artists and movements within the context of the social, economic and political upheavals of the time period, such as Colonialism, the impact of World War I, the Soviet Revolution, the rise of Fascism and the Spanish Civil War. We will focus on topics such as the social and symbolic meanings of abstraction, the contested ideas of Primitivism and Modernism, and the impact of new technologies, industrial mass production, and two world wars on the making and viewing of art. This is a 4-credit class and will have challenging requirements, including weekly readings that include difficult or challenging texts. The national standard is for a college-level class to have 3 hours of homework for each hour of class time, which would equal 6 hours of outside work per week. The reading and writing assignments for this class will usually require a minimum of 4 hours of outside work and sometimes as many as 6 hours, so please plan your weekly schedule to allow for this. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Contemporary Arts College Art History Department Course Attributes: CA-School Core-300 Level, GE-INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, WRITING INTENSIVE
