This class begins with the history of Modern Art in 1750 in the context of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. It covers the major movements in European Art from Neo Classicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism. Artistic developments are presented within their historical and social contexts. We will study the changing role of art in society by considering the impact that dramatic political upheavals and the Industrial Revolution had on the idea and production of art. Offered every year.
