ARTH 6093 American Art(3 hours)
A survey of American art from the first European encounters with the New World to the dominance of American art in the twentieth century. It examines artworks in their cultural, historical, social, and political contexts touching on subjects such as conquest and colonization, religious diversity, the representation of nationhood, imitation and emulation of Europe, westward expansion, urban-industrialism and capital, the relationship between art and capital, tensions between rural and urban spheres, negotiations of race and difference, and the willing creation of a specific kind of American art. The goal of the course is to examine carefully how art reveals, develops, and inflects these themes and others. Slide lecture and discussion.
