Description
This course examines the artistic practices and critical accounts which constitute "modernism" in the visual arts, primarily in Europe and the United States circa 1848-1970, with comparative case-studies related to art after the Russian Revolution and in Japan after World War II. It examines the impact of historical events--from World War II, to Civil Rights, to Feminism--that have led to the "post-modernism" that continues to inform art and art criticism in the present. Prerequisite: Completion of one course in Art History, or sophomore standing, or consent of instructor.
