ARTH 356 Mid-20th to Early 21st Century Art&Arch

This course examines the significant developments in European and American art and some architecture from c. 1945 to the present. In some aspects, this course will be a continued discussion of some of the themes and concepts introduced in ART 352. In addition, this course will examine the intersections between fine art, the media, outsider art, and popular culture that in many ways define the visual culture of the period. Issues of gender and race, censorship, art activism and public art, the environment, the role of the museum, and "new" artistic media will also be explored. The ongoing debate amongst cultural historians and artists concerning the definitions of Modernism and Post-Modernism will also be discussed. PRQ: Junior standing, ARTH 245 or 246 or 248; or consent of instructor. Scheduled: Scheduled as needed. Meets: ANO.
