SUMMER ART HISTORY COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT
ARTH 346: Nineteenth-Century European Art from 1850
Summer Session I: May 28, 2013 - July 7, 2013, Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:30 – 8:00 pm
The late-nineteenth century was a dramatic time filled with rapid changes in politics, science, and social theory, and the art world dealt with all of it. How did artists respond to these changes? Can art drive these changes?
The Impressionist, Neo-Impressionist, and Symbolist artists were avid readers of psychological theories and often struggled to incorporate them within their work. New theories advanced in the 1880s by Charcot, the so-called father of modern neurology, created a stir of interest in the self and the mind, which impacted artists in diverse ways.
In ARTH 346, students will learn about the intersections of art and…
- Politics and economics
- Literature
- Optics and color theory
- Industry
- Psychology
- Darwinism- social, biological…
- Painting technique and materials
- Social change, the rise of the bourgeoisie
Students will study some of the world’s most beloved artists- Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin (and many more!) and the ways their personal relationships with each other as well as with poets, novelists, journalists, and scientists impacted the development of artistic trends in France.
