Description
IN YOUR FACE: CONTEMPORARY ART SINCE 1945 TO 2000
A study of the dramatic shift in the form and content of visual art from the end of World War II to the present. Within a lecture/discussion format, this course investigates issues of significant artistic and cultural concern beginning with the rise of Abstract Expressionism in the U.S. The course also explores the art of women and other traditionally marginalized cultural groups and the return to figuration in art in the avant-garde of the eighties and nineties. ARH-0175, ARH-0176, or ARH-0308 are preparatory but not required courses. Gallery and museum work/research is integral to this course. Offered upon rotation with other courses in modern art.
