  • ARHI 20442: 20th-Century Art II: 1955 to present

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This introductory course is subtitled "Techno-Capitalism and the Art of Accommodation." The post-World War II era, particularly in the United States, is marked by the greatest expansion of corporate and consumer capitalism in history. Massive wars are fought to defend capitalist ideology. (A case in point is the tragic Vietnam War.) How has art figured into these social transformations? Has art protested these conditions or easily accommodated itself to overpowering economic, political, and legalistic techno-capitalist regimes? These questions arise throughout this course, which concentrates on selective artistic events in the United States and Europe during the second half of the 20th century. Movements considered include pop art, minimalism, op art, arte povera, postminimalism, earth art, conceptual art, photo-realism, video and performance art, and other recent picture/theory approaches to art making. This course focuses on recent developments in painting and sculpture. It also examines associated theories of art criticism.

  • ARHI 20500: Introduction to Art and Catholicism

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This undergraduate lecture/discussion course will give students the opportunity to analyze and discuss the history of Catholic doctrine as it pertains to the visual arts. From the Council of Elvira in A.D. 306 to John Paul II's Letter to Artists of 1999, Catholicism has engaged with and debated the role of the arts as a legitimate vehicle for spiritual experience and theological knowledge. In this course, we will examine the changing, complex, and various ideas that have been brought to the question of the function of art in the Church. It will become clear that Catholic attitudes to the arts have been subject to a range of influences that have helped shape a still fluid and potential relationship between Catholicism and art. Among other topics we will examine the accommodation of traditional pagan practices in Late Antiquity; the impact of Byzantine and Carolingian theological discourse on the arts; Mendicant thought and practice regarding the arts; lay piety in the later middle ages; issues raised by the Reformation; the Council of Trent, and the Counter-Reformation; the implications of Modernism; neo-Thomist aesthetics; and the aftermath of Vatican II. In all instances, the course will be shaped by the discussions of primary readings (in translation when necessary) that will set these texts in a context that is social, intellectual, theological, and cultural. Each reading will then lead to an examination of the artistic environment that preceded and succeeded the ideas shaped by these texts. It is expected that students will leave this course with a rich knowledge of the central ideas and works of art that have come to shape the continuing dialogue between Catholicism and art.

  • ARHI 20600: Introduction to African Art: From the Traditional to the Contemporary Moment

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will examine the traditional art and culture of Sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, the class will survey through readings, images and video the artistic and ritual practices of Yorubaland, the Kongo, Dahomey, and Mande. An important aspect of the course will be critically analyzing how the West has constructed an understanding of African art and culture as being primitive. The course will disrupt this predominant perspective by considering the region's worldviews, histories, mythologies, and diversity of creative expression. We will then consider the impact of colonialism, post-colonialism, and globalization on the evolution of art making in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The rise of Rome is next considered in the context of Etruscan influences. There follows a detailed examination of the art and architecture of Republican and Imperial Rome.
