Art, Architecture, and Design in the United States (1800 to the Present) (HA 185A)
Tues. Thurs. 11:00-12:30
101 Moffitt
This course is taught by Professor Margaretta Lovell.
Looking at major developments in painting and architecture, sculpture, city planning, design, and photography from Romanticism to Post-modernism, this course addresses art, its social context, and its social power over the last two and a half centuries in what is now the United States. Issues include patronage, audience, technology, and the education of the artist as well as style, cultural expression, and the relationship of “high”art to vernacular, folk, and popular art. This class focuses on the ways in which visual culture incorporates and responds to narratives of personal, community, and national identity.
