Division I
This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
TThis course explores the image of the artist and the studio from a diverse range of interpretive perspectives. Artists turned to so-called representations of representation in an effort reflexively to grapple with the nature and terms of their enterprise. We will explore such studio scenes as less a real than an imagined space ¿ as home to the most urgent and intimate concerns of the artist¿s vocation, in short, the artist in the modern age. Such representations have attracted a substantial body of ambitious art historical writing. Accordingly, and even as much of the class will center on 19th-century-art, we will also consider key examples from other periods, including works by Vermeer, Velasquez, and others. Student projects may focus on any period of the history of art.
