ARH 5073: Issues in Contemporary Art (4 cr.)

This seminar will examine contemporary art from

1945 to the present, focusing on developments in

painting, sculpture and installation art with an

emphasis on artists from Europe and the United

States. Topics include: abstraction vs.

figuration, conceptual art, feminist art,

post-modernism and current tendencies in 21st

century art. During the regular academic year,

students complete a research paper, present an

oral report, and are expected to attend all

mandatory field trips. Because of the

abbreviated time frame, this course is offered

for 3 credits over the Summer Session, and will

not count as a seminar for purposes of major

credit. Prerequisite: One art

history class or permission of the instructor.
