ART-HIST 463
Primitivism and Its Aftermath
|
|
|
This course explores one of the seminal movements of the modern era and its ramifications for the visual arts today. Class discussions will consider the complexities and contradictions of primitivism of its rejection of modernity. We will look at European artists' attempts at deliberate regression through their appropriations from archaic, folk, and non-western art traditions, from 1800-on, while also situating these creative endeavors within the cultural and political contexts of the period. Prerequisite: ART-HIST 303 or permission of the instructor
