FC ARHU CD

4 credits
This course examines artistic interventions in the Americas between the early 20th century and the present. Taking a thematic approach, this course will consider how artists of the Americas positioned their practice in relationship to local cultural and political struggles (including revolutions, dictatorships, and modernization) as well as dominant international art trends. This course will also introduce students to key critics and scholars that ask, “What is Latin American art and why is it a distinct field?” Field trip(s) required.
