This interdisciplinary course examines New York's Pop Art of the 1960's. Incorporating heavy black outlines, flat primary colors, Benday dots used to add tone in printing, and the sequential images of film into painting, Pop gurus such as Warhol and Lichtenstein crafted images which drew on popular and powerful commercial culture for their style and subject matter. War and romance comic books, Madison Avenue advertising, television, and Hollywood movies and movie stars provided Pop artists with grist for their new, bold mills. Pop Art threatened the survival, many feared, of the sophisticated, modernist art and high culture it mocked. Themes to be examined: Pop Art's embrace or parody of popular culture; shower curtains, coke bottles, lipstick erotic or banal art; post WWII and a new art mirroring a society of contented women and men with ample time to enjoy cheap and plentiful material goods. ARH 0175 or ARH 0176 are preparatory but not required. Recommended for Graphic Design students. Incorporates museum work.

Speed, travel, life in the fast lane of the new industrial city, and the changing dynamics of new technology informed and propelled Italian Futurism, the early twentieth century avant garde movement. The Futurist Manifesto of February 1909, which appeared on the front page of the French newspaper, Le Figaro, shivered with enthusiasm for a new language in all of the arts: visual arts, music, literature, theatre, film, and cooking-a reflection , after all, of historical and sociological issues portrayed in modern Italian literature from the early 1900's on. This course will investigate the artistic ideals that inspired the Futurists to create their vision of modernity, and, as well, the "Futurist Cuisine" of the artist, critic, founder of the movement, and cuisinier, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. He hoped his "extreme eating experiences" would shock Italians into a futuristic world. Cooking will be included in the course. ARH 0176 is preparatory but not required.
