ARTH 83.03 Modern Art, Spectacle, and Strategies of Resistance

In this seminar, we will take a historical and theoretical approach to understanding the diverse sets of strategies that artists have employed to disrupt, contest, playfully oppose, and ironically challenge power, broadly construed.  We will focus on nineteenth and twentieth-century (mostly European) artists who were committed to producing critical or counter-discursive art in moments of political tribulation.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
