ARTH 440 Problems in Renaissance Art: Mannerism This seminar examines the style titled “Mannerism” by scholars centuries after it had already ended. Art and artists considered are those from the 16th century in Italy who provided an alternative style to what is most often called the “High Renaissance” practiced by Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. The term and the movement have been questioned repeat- edly over the past five decades especially in regards to its proposed dates, influences, development and practitioners. After presenting a foundation for the etymology of Mannerism/maniera, this course includes intense reading, discussion and analysis of the scholar- ship since the International Conference on the style in question (1963). Prerequisite(s): Any 300-level ARLH/ ARTH course.

Prerequisite(s): Any 300-level ARLH/ARTH course.


ARTH 480 After Postmodernism During the first half of the last century Aby War- burg, Erwin Panofsky and Heinrich Woelfflin defined theoretical corner stones for the emerging discipline of art history. Today contemporary art history faces multiple challenges from aesthetics, visual culture, media theory and the blurring line between “high” art and “low” art. After the linguistic turn, the pictorial turn, and the iconic turn we are left with an undefined Bildwissenschaft (image science). Recent research


practices call for the reevaluation of the foundations of art history. The goal of this class is to discuss some of the methodological challenges after postmodernism. Students learn prevalent notions in the discourse and engage in the contestation of ideas. Prerequisite(s): Any 300-level ARLH/ARTH course.

Art History (Graduate)


ARTH 700 Historiography of Art History Historiography is a thorough introduction to the principle developments and writings in the field of art history, with an emphasis on developments from the 18th-century onward. Readings for class meetings demonstrate various approaches to art history. Stu- dents write a 15-page paper and make a presentation to the class.

The course profiles out- standing artists from many aesthetic backgrounds, offering students significant examples to evaluate.

Specific examples of contemporary critical writings are used to explore the foundation of the dialogue between art and the audience. Working within their areas of specialization, students practice critical methods, identify forums for critical inquiry, learn the basics of major art theories and identify cur- rent issues that increasingly form the critical discourse in art and design. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 701.


ARTH 703 Modern and Contemporary Critical Theory This course is intended to provide students with an understanding of the importance of critical theory and how it has shaped the practices of both artists and art historians in recent times.

ARTH 706 Feminist Art The history of feminist art is rich and varied. The second- and third-waves, from 1970 to the present, are the focus of this course.

Feminism has been strongly influential on all areas of contemporary art, which is also a subject of discussion throughout the course.

Students enhance their ana- lytical thinking and interpretative skills by engaging in group discussions and completing independent research assignments on topics within feminist art. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 701, ARTH 702.
