ARTH 209. Chinese Painting Since the tenth century in China, a tension emerges between art created as a means of self expression and works which were intended to display social status and political power and to convey conventional values. This course concentrates on the primary site of this tension, the art of painting.

Important for discussion, too, will be such questions as how the chapel decorations served as forms of communication and persuasion; why the controversies surrounding its recent cleaning figured in the news; why the Sistine Chapel has retained such power for us today. More generally, the course should stimulate thinking about the social and cultural roles and values attributed to art both of the past and present.

Decadent Dandies & Romantic Reformers: The Anglo-American Aesthetic Movement, 1870-1900 Espousing the credo of "art for art's sake," the Aesthetic Movement sought to liberate artistic expression from Victorian morality and philistinism. But clear definitions or precise boundaries for the movement remain elusive. Arising out of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement, intersecting with the Arts and Crafts Movement, and feeding into the Art Nouveau Movement, the Aesthetic Movement emerged in Britain around 1870 and spread to the United States shortly thereafter. Figures who will receive significant attention include the painters James McNeill Whistler and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, art critics Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde, and architects and designers E.W.

ARTH 247. Architecture Since 1950 This course begins by considering the international triumph of architecture’s Modern Movement as seen in key works by Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and their followers. Soon after modernisms rise, however, architects began to question the movement’s tenets and the role that architecture as a discipline plays in the fashioning of society. This course will examine the central actors in this backlash from Britain, France, Italy, Japan, the United States and elsewhere before exploring the architectural debates surrounding definitions of postmodernism. The course will conclude by considering the impact of both modernism and postmodernism on contemporary architectural practice. 6 cr., AL, Winter—R. Elfline

ARTH 285. Postwar Italian Culture: From Neo-Realism to the Open Work This course will consider a variety of approaches to cultural production in Italy from 1945 through the 1970s. Living in the shadow of both Futurism and Fascism, Italian artists, designers, writers and filmmakers sought to come to terms with the trauma of this period while simultaneously opening up new possibilities for aesthetic experience. The result was a powerful and diverse array of politically committed cultural practices that remain undertheorized. This course will be a laboratory for studying these artistic strategies (including neo-realist cinema, Arte Povera and Radical Architecture) and for understanding their continued relevance both within contemporary Italy and beyond. 6 cr., AL, Spring—R. Elfline
