Western art from 1520 to the present.
Class description
This survey covers the history of art from the Renaissance up to the present day. It offers both an overview of the major periods and movements, styles and trends of the art of the Western world, and attempts to generate discussion about critical issues which currently preoccupy the discipline of art history; these include, among others, the self-conscious reflection on the different methods available in approaching art, issues of gender, and the role of genre and medium.
