MASTERS OF THE BAROQUE
AHIS2314S001 3 points.
This course examines three masters of European Baroque art—Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680), Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), and Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669)—artists who are all well represented in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through classroom discussions and museum visits, we will examine Baroque art as part of a continuing and developing accumulation of forms and ideas throughout the 17th century, and consider the impact these artists had on their contemporaries and in ensuing centuries. Roughly half of the class sessions take place at the Metropolitan Museum, a luxury that allows for close, firsthand analysis of art, but it is not an art appreciation course. It is a history course concerned with a study of ideas, artists, and visual facts and their application to emerging art forms within their cultural-historical context. In addition to developing a critical eye, the class is intended to develop analytical thinking and communication skills as well as knowledge of the subject matter.

The Hudson: Art, Industry and Ecology
AHIS2900X001 3 points.

How has the human material and imaginative relationship to the local natural world changed as we transformed that world through development and use?  How have artists from different backgrounds documented and responded to these changes?  How have they envisioned responses that healed the environmental and social wounds caused by this development?

In the nineteenth century, painters who depicted sites along the Hudson River helped establish New York City as the capital of America’s art world.  During the same decades painters and tourists traveled upriver on steamboats to visit New York’s sublime landscapes, industrialists were building factories, foundries and mines along the Hudson’s shores, taking advantage of those same steamboats to move their products to market.  The profound, transformative industrialization of the Hudson continued and expanded through the second half of the twentieth century, at which point a nascent environmentalist movement effected the passage of laws that began to address the environmental damage it caused. 

Although the Hudson River School is seen as focusing exclusively on natural subjects, the painters recorded this history and, at times, responded critically to it.  In fact, artists have played a vital role in calling attention to the Hudson’s history of industrialization and its potential for recovery throughout the past two centuries.  At the same time, the aesthetic value of the river has been essential to the passage of environmental regulations. This course traces that story by looking closely at works of art and visiting sites associated with this history.  In addition to studying works of art tracing from early landscape painting to realist depictions of the social tolls of industry from the turn of the century to the environmental critiques of land artists and others from recent decades.  In addition, we will look at objects produced by artisans and other workers which shed light on diverse groups’ experiences of the history of the Hudson, including Native Americans, African-Americans, and immigrant laborers.

The class will combine lecture, discussion, and several field trips.  Students will produce two short critical papers and one longer essay and participate in an industrial site mapping project.

EVAL THE EVID OF AUTHENTICITY
AHIS3010S001 4 points.
The adjudged authenticity of a work of art is fundamental in determining its value as a commodity on the art market or, for example, in property claim disputes or in issues of cultural property restitution. Using case studies some straightforward and others extremely vexing--this course examines the many ways in which authenticity is measured through the use of provenance and art historical research, connoisseurship, and forensic resources. From within the broader topics, finer issues will also be explored, among them, the hierarchy of attribution, condition and conservation, copies and reproductions, the period eye and the style of the marketplace.

JACKSON POLLOCK & THE NY SCHOOL
AHIS3426S001 3 points.

Coming on the heels of the MoMA's blockbuster exhibit, this seminar will trace the rise and fall of Abstract Expressionism, from its pre-World War II precipitates in Europe (Surrealism) and in America (Regionalism), to the crucial moment when, as scholar Serge Guilbaut has argued, New York 'stole' the idea of modern art, and finally, through the decade when Pop Art rendered Abstract Expressionism obsolete. Although special emphasis will be given to Jackson Pollock, whose persona and work reside at the literal and figurative center of the movement, we will also look closely at works by Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Willem DeKooning, Lee Krasner, Louise Bourgeois, Helen Frankenthaler, Eva Hesse, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Cy Twombly. Class lectures and presentations will be supplemented with trips to New York's world-renowned museums.

NYC AND THE HISTORY OF MUSEUM
AHIS3441S001 4 points.

This course will introduce students to the history of museums and display practices through New York collections. The birth of the museum as a constitutive element of modernity coincides with the establishment of European nation states. Throughout the course of the nineteenth century, museums were founded in major European and American cities to classify objects, natural and manmade, from plants and fossils to sculpture and clothing. This course presents the alternate art history that can be charted through an examination of the foundation and development of museums from cabinets of curiosity to the collection-less new museums currently being built in the Middle East and beyond. We will consider broad thematic issues such as nationalism, colonialism, canon formation, the overlapping methods of anthropology and art history, and the notion of 'framing' from the architectural superstructure to exhibition design. We will visit a wide variety of museums from the American Museum of Natural History to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum as in-depth case studies of more general concepts. Students will have the opportunity to meet museum educators, conservators and curators through on site teaching in a variety of institutions.

American Art in a Global Context: 1750–1914
AHIS3442S001 4 points.

Through an examination of painting, sculpture, decorative arts, photography. fashion and visual culture of the United States from 1750 to 1914, the course will explore how American artists responded to and operated within the wider world, while grappling with issues of identity at home. Addressing themes shared in common across national boundaries, the class will consider how American art participated in the revolutions and reforms of the "long" nineteenth century, and how events of the period continue to impact our country today. The period witnessed the emergence of new technologies for creating, using and circulating images and objects, the expansion and transformation of exhibition and viewing practices, and the rise of new artistic institutions, as well as the metamorphosis of the United States from its colonial origins to that of a world power, including the radical changes that occurred during the Civil War.  With many sessions taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the class will investigate how American art engaged with international movements while constructing national identity during a period of radical transformation both at home and abroad.
