This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
The art of Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter has been the subject of critical and scholarly engagement and reconsideration from its inception to today. Exploring the primary documents of the German Expressionist movement, both artist- and critic-generated, the course will question how these formative texts conflict with current definitions and perceptions. The seminar will consider recent scholarship that has documented and investigated market and exhibition practices. Both Brücke and Blaue Reiter artists worked collectively. How did these communal artistic projects succeed or fail? This seminar will address the multi-faceted production of German Expressionism, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, architecture, film, and literature. The course will use the collections at the Clark and the Williams College Museum of Art.
