Prof. Plante. Examines the ways in which artists—painters, sculptors, film makers, performance artists—from the 19th- and 20th-centuries have constructed and organized representations of the human body. Dependent upon the writings of Lacan and other post-Freudian theorists, the body will be examined as a site across which history, memory and cultural politics have been played out. Artists studied will include Cassatt, Duchamp, Eakins, Madonna, Mapplethorpe, O’Keefe, Lorna Simpson, and Kiki Smith.

Prof. Plante. Examines the ways in which Abstract Expressionism has been interpreted, both from the view of American critics and historians and their European counterparts. Emphasizes the extent to which formalist criticism evolved around Abstract Expressionism, and that only recently have scholars challenged those apolitical reading of this art, considering the political and economic factors which contributed to its international predominance on the global stage. Artists will include De Kooning, Frankenthaler, Hofmann, Krasner, Newman, Pollock, and Still.

Prof. Plante. Charts the development of American, and some European, art during the 1960’s, away from the international dominance of Abstract Expressionist style toward a more diverse range of styles such as Color Field painting, Pop art, Minimalism and Post-Minimalism, and Performance art. Attention will be paid to the development of artistic and cultural criticism during this period (Greenberg, Sontag, Barthes), and the arguments about the role of culture in American society, the status of so-called †and “low†art. Artists studied will include Frankenthaler, Hesse, Judd, Lichtenstein, Morris, Smithson, and Warhol.

3.00 Credits
Prof. Plante. Examines both European and American conceptions of postmodernism, as it originated in post-structural and psychoanalytic theory. Emphasis will be place upon artists working since 1980, including Basquiat, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, Warhol and the politically based art project of Gran Fury, the Guerrilla Girls and the Names Project. Interpretive strategies will be taken from readings in European literary theory, with emphasis place upon the shift in criticism in art-making, away from Europe, toward an ideology formed around the issues of racial, sexual, and gender performance of identity.
