This course provides an introduction to European and American art of the late eighteenth century to 1900. We will investigate the connections between art and historical events, from the Industrial Revolution to globalization. We will cover such artistic movements as Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism. Artists will include David, Goya, Turner, Monet, Van Gogh, and Rodin. We will look at their materials and techniques, and we will consider how they represented the issues animating their time: gender, race, class, technology, and power.
