Origins of Modernism:
Nineteenth-Century Visual Culture (3) (IV.4)
This course examines visual culture in the nineteenth century with a focus on the development of painting in France. Art played a formative role in nineteenth century life and culture and was intimately related to other dramatic transformations of the period in realms such as industry, social theory, science and colonialism. The course addresses the role of visual culture in the construction of the past, the negotiation of gender, racial and sexual difference and the representation of social class. In addition to painting, we will analyze the invention and uses of photography, the birth of the motion picture, developments in sculpture, and the mass publication of prints. Artists discussed include: Goya, David, Ingres, Gericault, Delacroix, Turner, Daguerre, Daumier, Courbet, Bonheur, Manet, Cassatt, Monet, Rodin, Van Gogh, Seurat, and Cezanne. Cost: 2 WL 2 (Alinder)
