ARTH 6913 19th-Century European Art

(3 hours)
Examines the development of art, primarily painting, in France-and especially in Paris- from 1785 to 1900. Our objective is to account for a series of dramatic changes in the making and reception of art in the period. This course will put the work of these artists into a broader cultural, historical, social, and political context and examine various discourses that shaped the art of the 19th century, such as the impact of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, the classical revival, the rise of Romanticism, the encounter of new cultures, industrialization and urbanization, the impact of photography, and the emergence of the avant-garde. Slide lecture and discussion, with class visits to the Philbrook Museum of Art.
