  • ARTH 222: Baroque Art

    3.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    The term Baroque, used for the first time in the nineteenth century, defines the artistic expression of the 17th century, throughout Europe, Great Britain and even Central and South America. Unlike the reserved naturalism of the Renaissance, and the exaggerated spatial and proportional distortions of Mannerism, the two movements that preceded it, the Baroque in most of its manifestations in painting and sculpture is characterized by an emphasis on classical proportions and dynamic compositional arrangements. In architecture and interior decoration, illusion and the energetic juxtaposition of various elements creates spectacular theatrical effects. This course will examine the diverse expressions of the Baroque within their proper socio-political and religious conditions. We will consider issues of patronage and the resultant artistic products, as well as the respective participation of male versus female artists in the production of Baroque art. Three hours. Ms. Terrono.

  • ARTH 225: History of American Art

    3.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    From the commemorative spirit of the colonial portraits, through the nationalistic content of the Hudson River School and the American Renaissance, to the subjective expression of the Abstract Expressionists and the various non-figurative movements of the twenty-first century, American Art displays an impressive variety of forms, which often give us substantial information about the society they were created for. This interdisciplinary course will examine the diverse artistic production in the United States from its earlier manifestations in the colonial period to the highly individualized tendencies of the twentieth century. The intent is to familiarize students with the multiplicity of examples of painting, sculpture and architecture, which illustrate a remarkable progression in the arts, with particular focus on the socio-economic and political conditions within which these forms were developed.
