Class Details
Artists sometimes produced works that refer to their own profession. This lecture/discussion course will focus on examples from the end of the Middle Ages to the present, such as self-portraits and portraits of other artists (e.g., Rembrandt, Vigee-Lebrun), legends about the origin of art (Boucher), studio scenes with contemporary or historical artists (Delacroix, Matisse), and images of one or more art works (Magritte, Picasso). Analysis of the changes that took place in art-about-art subject matter over seven centuries will yield a visual record of what artists thought about their own profession, i.e., a pictorial version of art theory.
