  • ARHI 44120: The Greeks Overseas: Greek Colonisation

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Taught as AH 352 at host institution. This seminar explores the art, architecture and archaeology of the Greek colonies in Southern Italy and Sicily (Magna Graecia) from the eighth through fourth centuries B.C. Beginning from Greek presence in Italy in the Bronze Age, it traces the establishment of trading emporia and colonies in Magna Graecia from the eighth century onwards. The motives for the establishment of colonies and the actual process of their foundation will be considered. Recently scholarship has focussed on variations in patterns of colonization through space and time and the interaction between colonists and local indigenous populations. The organization of urban and ritual space, the relationship of city and territory, the emergence of regional architectural and artistic styles as well as the relations between the Greeks and the native peoples they encountered during the colonial process will all be considered. There will be a mandatory field trip to the Greek colonies of Pithecusae, Cumae and Paestum.

  • ARHI 44220: Medieval Art in England (1066-1530)

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course introduces students to the art and architecture of the English Middle Ages, a period during which England developed from a state on the periphery of Europe into a major international power. It was a period in which the visual arts were at the centre of religious and secular life, and when wealthy patrons lavished vast sums of money on spectacular artistic and architectural commissions. With a short summary of the existing Anglo-Saxon art history before 1066, the course starts with the Norman Conquest, which introduced the monumental Romanesque style from Europe into English art and architecture. A relationship with European art and culture remained central to the development of art and architecture in England right up to the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, when so much of the visual culture of the country was swept away with the Catholic Church. The course will focus largely on object-based studies of the various media of production, from the massive scale of architecture, and major cycles of painting, sculpture and stained glass to the most delicate illuminated manuscripts, ivories, jewellery and metalwork. In some areas England followed a European lead, while in others, notably architecture, textiles, stained glass and alabaster sculpture, the English provided a cultural lead to their European neighbours. Throughout the course, more general questions will also be explored, particularly the socio-economic context in which art was produced. A programme of visits to museums and medieval buildings will support these thematic concerns, enabling students to discuss issues of context and function, and a visit to a conservation studio will illustrate the problems of attempting to read the history of the past through surviving artefacts which are often faded remnants of their original selves.

  • ARHI 44418: 18th Century British Art and Architecture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course traces the history of British art and architecture during the "long" 18th century, generally considered by scholars as running from c1680 to c1820. Students are introduced to themes in British art during this epoch, treating each theme principally through the works of one well-known British artist: e.g., Reynolds and portraiture in The Grand Manner; Gainsborough and the English landscape; Hogarth and social and political satire; Hayman, West and British history painting; Wright of Derby and the art of science and light. Included are the development of philosophies of art and art institutions (notably the Royal Academy) in this period and at the demands made on art in public and private spheres; the sites of artistic display, including private and "public" galleries, exhibitions, and architectural painting, particularly in major public and semi-public buildings; and themes in British architecture evident in a range of building types, their style and decoration: e.g., palaces and grand houses; hospitals; state and civic buildings; cathedrals and churches; museums and galleries; and college buildings. The course will include several site visits to buildings and galleries in London.

  • ARHI 44441: Twentieth Century African American Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course surveys and evaluates art by African Americans from 1870 to the present. Strong emphasis is placed on the cultural, social, and political contexts in which African Americans produced art. The course also considers race and representation, the idea of a "black aesthetic" and contemporary reconsiderations of race in art. This survey of African American art looks at various expressions of artistry by African Americans including: neoclassical sculpture and religious painting from the 1870s to the 1890s; the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s; social realism and government sponsored projects of the 1930s and 1940s; abstract expressionism of the 1950s; protest art of the 1960s and 1970s; and identity and racial politics of the 1980s and 1990s. The course format consists of a lecture/discussion structure. Led by the instructor and accompanied by images, students are expected to fully participate in the analysis and discussion of imagery. Occasionally, we will watch pertinent videos in class. This course encourages students to engage art objects through careful observation, contextual and analytical reading, and thoughtful critical analysis. Writing and critical reading are crucial components of this class as well. We will use the text by Sharon F. Patton, African-American Art (Oxford University Press, 1998). Additional readings will be assigned and provided to the students. There is no prerequisite for this course.

  • ARHI 44470: Twentieth Century Architecture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    What is the appropriate architecture for modern times? Convinced that the 20th century constituted a new epoch with distinctive design problems different from previous periods, architects, clients and critics have debated the answer to this question. This great debate unfolded within parameters set by new aesthetic theories & movements, new building materials and technologies, new political systems, and the ever-present constraints imposed by economic considerations. This debate constitutes the central theme of this course. In a history of architecture conceived in this manner individual buildings or design movements are treated not as examples of different styles but as critical positions or arguments in an international debate about form, function, materials and technologies. This version of Twentieth Century Architecture has been revised to take advantage of the city of London specifically and the English experience more generally and special emphasis will be given to English examples of twentieth century whenever possible.

  • ARHI 44714: Ming and Qing Painting

    4.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Many historical events helped to develop and influence paintings in the Ming (1368 to 1644) and Qing (1644 to 1911) periods. In this period, Chinese society underwent a transformation. The economy and population grew, literacy rates rose, and more people enjoyed cultural activities, including painting. Along with these factors, Western cultural influences started to reach even the ordinary urban populace during this period. Art historical issues will be taken up from points of view such as patronage, politics, historical perceptions of art, social change, and international relations. Topics and focus for the seminar will be announced prior to the new semester.
