This course probes the construction of identity and its various expressions in the domestic architecture, wall painting and portraiture of the ancient Romans. We will examine the way the Roman house reflects notions of Romanness through its plan, orientation, and programs of the illusionistic frescoes; we will also study the rhetoric of Roman portraits, with particular attention to the representation of aristocrats and the imperial family. If time permits, we will also explore those of the Vestal Virgins, Rome's premier priestesses.

This course addresses the art of the 1950s and '60s in Europe, from its relationship to World War II and the Holocaust to the era of the Cold War and the Bomb. The 1950s saw a major shift in the art world from a focus on abstract painting to new experiments in assemblage, Combines, Pop strategies, Neo-Data, New Realism, and the Situationist International. The course takes Cobra as a case study, focusing on the Fall 2016 UMCA exhibition "Human Animals: The Art of Cobra," curated by the professor.
