Section Information for Fall 2014

This course examines women artists, their quest for professionalization, their interactions with modernism, their representational strategies in the arts, and their negotiations in personal lives as they confront the social, cultural and institutional changes in these decades.  We will think historically and historiographically about these issues in American art by looking at a series of case studies.  Students will write short critical response papers, and a longer research paper with a formal presentation at the conclusion of the course. This course fulfills the US, “1861-1914” OR “1914-present” requirement.
