ARTH 403 19th Century Art
In this course, students will examine the major figures and movements of 19th century art in Europe and the United States. Our focus will be on developing the skills of seeing and analyzing works of art and placing them within their historical and cultural contexts. The sweeping changes this period saw in politics, philosophy, technology, and social reform make the nineteenth century a particularly rich period in which to explore artistic reactions to turmoil and cultural interchange. Offered every other year.
