1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Group 4, 1 course The Paris of the 19th century, of Zola and the Impressionist painters was the city where the large-scale development of new methods of industry, finance, merchandising, government, and culture were given their most coherent concrete form. In the 20th century Berlin was at the center of, successively, German Expressionist painting, the European film industry, Nazism, and the Cold War. These two European capitals were at the intersection of individual personal experience and titanic historical forces. Close examination of painting, novels, film, architecture and urban planning, and the context within which they were produced. May be counted toward the European Studies interdisciplinary minor.

Group 3, 1 course Art criticism is a challenging literary genre. It seeks to put into language something which is inherently non-verbal, and leaves meaning open and unfixed. We discuss the idea of art theory ("aesthetics"), and some art-theoretical texts which have been foundational for Modernist and contemporary art; we discuss art criticism as a very particular kind of creative writing; we look at some central examples which distinguish themselves by having a theory of art underpinning them; we read and discuss contemporary art criticism; and we write some art criticism of our own.

1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Group 3, 1 course The self-portrait has a long and varied history: part manifesto, part self-expression, part philosophical investigation, the self-portrait invites questions of creativity and identity. How does an artist construct a self-portrait to represent both the self and the artistic project The answers to this question provoke an examination of the changing uses and transformations of the genre. The course incorporates both original sources written by the artists themselves and scholarly sources contextualizing the artists and their self-portraits. Discussion-based course. May not count toward the European Studies interdisciplinary major.
