This is the second of a two-part seminar class surveying ideas about art practice from the last two hundred and fifty years. This second seminar addresses concepts current between 1918 and 2000. These dates open with the end of the First World War and conclude with the end of the last century, and primarily concern the cultural periods known as Modernism and Postmodernism. The class will require students to evaluate concepts like readymade, dematerialization, and deconstruction in relation to the texts in which such terms originate. Such concepts will also be considered in relation to works of art, literature, and historical events of the time. Students will gain a fuller understanding of the cultural periods under review in this seminar. Lectures and discussions will be reviewing these concepts in relation to broader themes like Self, Form, and Beauty, that remain as relevant to contemporary art as they have been for historical work. Because this class presupposes continuity between Freshman and Sophomore seminars, students will be expected in this seminar to deepen their understanding of any such themes that may have been introduced in the first year.
