Contemporary Art and Film from 1945 to the Present
This upper division art history course will trace visual culture from the end of World War II to the present. The focus will not be merely on conventional visual art (painting & sculpture), but will also explore new media (video and digital art) in order to offer a broad overview of postwar and postmodern artistic practices and culture in general and consider the way that various art forms have dissolved into one another.
Our discussions will be divided thematically and chronologically and will consider the social and historical contexts in which the works were created. Emphasis will be placed on experiencing and understanding the art as an extension of our everyday world. Issues in contemporary art to be examined will include Abstract Expressionism and Action painting, Minimalism and Post-Minimalism, Process art, Performance art, Appropriation, popular culture, time and space, Earthworks and Land art, and Video art.
