Art & the History of Art 275 - Contemporary Art

This course traces the different paths of painting, sculpture, and photography in the United States and, to a lesser extent in Western Europe, since World War II. Initially, most of these paths took shape in relation to a “crisis of modernism,” but increasingly, they have taken on a different vitality, drawing energy from a wide variety of postmodern and post-colonial subjects and debates: identity politics, transnationalism, diaspora, and more.

Limited to 25 students. Spring semester. Visiting Professor Lee.
