ARTH 352 - Women, Modern Art, and Society Credit Hours 3
This course focuses on women artists in Western culture and the societies in which they lived and worked from the 19th century to the present. Women’s production as artists, the various styles and subject matter they embraced, and their relation to artistic trends of their eras are explored. These include such as artists as Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, who were integral to the Impressionists, and Lee Krasner and Elaine DeKooning, who were driving forces for Abstract Expressionism, feminist art of the 1970s, environmental and social justice artists, and postmodern and contemporary artists who challenge identity and history such as Pipilotti Rist, Catherine Opie, Yael Bartana, Tania Bruguera, and Kara Walker. Attitudes about gender in Western culture and critical analyses related to gender-such as “the gaze” and gender as a construction or performance-are considered in order to understand issues surrounding women and art.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in multicultural studies.
