ARTM101.05
ART HISTORY: 20TH CENTURY TO GLOBAL CONTEMPORARY ART,
MTH 1530-1700

This course surveys visual art from the 20th century to the present. Emphasis is given to works, figures, movements, and ideas that created new trajectories for art-making within specific social and historical contexts. While attention is devoted on art movements and practitioners within the purview of Western art history, discussions can expand on how they are reframed and enacted in multiple strands of modernism. FOCUS: With the advent of Abstract-Expressionism, Pop Art, and Minimalism, the center of the avant-garde shifted from Europe to New York; then, in what is sometimes identified as Marshall Plan Modernism, the New York school was exported to Paris, sponsored by the International Section of The Museum of Modern Art, and the USIS.

What is race and ethnicity? How do constructions of race and ethnicity continue to exert powerful effects in society and over individual lives (politically, socially, and economically) in the United States? This course addresses these questions and provides an introduction to the historical and contemporary ideas and manifestations of “ethnic studies” as a field of study—its subject matters, its methodologies and theories, its literatures, and its practitioners and institutional settings.
