Seattle Campus
Arts and architecture of Europe and America from Romanticism to the present.
Class description
This survey of 19th and 20th Century Art covers the history of art from the late 18th-Century up to the present day. It offers an overview of the major periods and movements, styles and trends of the Western art of the last two centuries 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, the legacy of Romanticism, and the role of genre and medium. Because discussion is an integral part of the course, class participation is vital to the success of the class as well as to studentsí grades.
