ARTH 28.06 European Art in the Age of Revolution (1750-1850)

Visual arts were transformed in the second half of the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth century by dramatic upheavals in social, political and cultural life. In addition to taking account of stylistic movements such as Rococo, Neo-classicism and Romanticism, we will devote our attention to relationships between artistic and social change, political and institutional pressures upon artists, changing ideas of art’s purpose and audience, and artists’ shift to direct engagement with modern life.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
