  • ARHI 60360: The Age of Rembrandt: Northern Baroque Painting

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Open to all students. Epitomized by the self-conscious art of Rembrandt, Northern Baroque painting and printmaking not only became a domestic commodity sold in a more modern-looking marketplace, it also continued to serve its traditional political, moral and spiritual functions. This course will concentrate on paintings and prints produced in Flanders, Spain, and the Dutch Republics during the 17th century, an era of extraordinary invention. The work of artists such as Rubens, van Dyck, Velázquez, Zurbarán, Leyster, Hals, and Rembrandt will be considered in the context of a number of interrelated themes, including the business of art, the status of the artist, art in service of the state, the rise of genre, gender stereotypes, allegory, and art, religion, and spirituality.

  • ARHI 60361: Eighteenth-Century European Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Profound and universal inquiry into all aspects of knowledge marked the history of the century of the Enlightenment and the Grand Tour. The rise of the collective idea of nature, the study and instrumentality of the antique, the foundations of religion, the state, morality and reason, the relationship of the arts to the state, the philosophy of aesthetic were all critically analyzed and questioned. This course investigates various stylistic trends in 18th-century art in Italy, France and England with a focus on the institutionalization of art through the academies. Discussion also centers on classical art theory and its relationship to the academies in light of the social, political and religious climate of the period. We will also consider the aesthetical, art historical and social consequences of the writings of Kant, Burke and Winckelmann. The course begins with the late baroque paintings of Carlo Maratti and his followers and then moves to subsequent stylistic trends as neoclassicism, Egyptian revival, and the rococco. Attention is also given to the vedute painters and to such diverse personalities as Piranesi, Mengs, Kauffmann, Tiepolo, Watteau and Chardin.

  • ARHI 60415: Art of the African Diaspora

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course will allow students to consider how the term Diaspora is used to describe the dissemination of peoples of African descent that started with the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and how such movements have impacted their art making. The African Diaspora has created religions, prompted the formation of political movements, and has coined ideologies: from Ethiopianism, the Harlem Renaissance, Negritude, to the Black Arts Movement, and the post-black era. The course will interrogate these important markers in history and examine their roles in the art of the African Diaspora. Although the course is designed around the concept of the Black Atlantic, we will also consider traditional art forms of Sub-Saharan Africa and investigate the ways in which they influenced artists in Europe and the Americas.

  • ARHI 60442: 20th-Century Art II

    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 60470: Architecture of the 20th Century

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course is a survey of the significant themes, movements, buildings, and architects in 20th-century architecture. Rather than validate a single design ideology such as Modernism, Postmodernism, or Classicism, this account portrays the history of architecture as the manifestation-in design terms-of a continuing debate concerning what constitutes an appropriate architecture for this century. Topics include developments in building technologies, attempts to integrate political and architectural ideologies, the evolution of design theories, modern urbanism, and important building types in modern architecture such as factories, skyscrapers, and housing. Class format consists of lecture and discussion with assigned readings, one midterm exam, a final exam, and one written assignment.
