This course will consider cultural interchanges between the Islamic world and the West from the early Middle Ages through the advent of colonialism. It will episodically focus on cultural border regions where inter-cultural conflict and cohesion are both evident. Topics may include: the classical heritage of Islamic art; pagan, Christian, Islamic and Israeli urbanism in Jerusalem; the arts and architecture of multi-cultural Norman Sicily and Medieval Spain, Ottoman-Italian dialogues in architecture, Persian and Italian approaches to naturalism in 15th and 16th century painting, Orientalist art, and colonial architecture and urbanism. Issues to be addressed include the self-definition of cultural identity vis-a-vis the "Other" and the underlying permeability of cultural borders. Finally we will use our historical perspective to critically focus upon conventional contemporary notions of an East-West divide. 4.000 Credit Hours 4.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Art History and Music Department

In modern period, Latin American nations, the by-product of European colonization, developed artistic traditions that grew out of their own distinct realities. This course looks at two great shaping forces of modern Latin American Art: nationalism, which called on visual art to both create a national identity and to reflect it; and modernism, an aesthetic movement that insisted on artistic autonomy. In more recent years, the political integrity of Latin American nations has been challenged by oppressive governments and imperialism, leading artists to seek new ways of expressing ideas and identity within and beyond the national sphere. We will also be seizing the many opportunities that New York offers to see Latin American art first hand at sites that include El Museo del Barrio, Sotheby's, and the Cecilia de Torres Gallery. 4.000 Credit Hours 4.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Art History and Music Department
