A lecture course in the history of major figures and movements of twentieth-century European and American art. The course begins with the revolutionary experiments of early twentieth-century French art and shifts at mid-century to the U.S., and especially to New York. Featured artists will include Matisse, Braque, Picasso, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Miro, Pollock, de Kooning, Newman, Johns, Rauschenberg, Stella, Morris and Smithson. The aim of the course is to develop the students' literacy in the canonical art of the century, but will offer occasions to question the canon, as well. Requirements will include readings, a mid-term and a final, and may also include a field trip to New York. Prerequisites: ArtH 101-102 or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 40.

Hour: PALERMO
