Prerequisite: ARTH 1700 or permission of department

This course studies art styles and movements that have comprised the larger (and contested) categories of Modem, Postmodern, and Contemporary Art. Looking at major works and their relationship to these critical paradigms, students in the course learn to analyze the historical and theoretical foundations for the works by studying artistic influence, cultural context, counter-movements, critical reception, and artists’ writings.
