ARTH 474-DL1: Advanced Studies in Contemporary Art: Pictures Generation
(Fall 2020)

Section Information for Fall 2020

This seminar examines how art changed in the wake of 1968 social and political turmoil as artists took aim at the institutions underpinning art production: studio education, disciplinary boundaries, institutional controls, and visual culture that privileged particular ideologies.  1974 through 1984 marks the heyday of “The Pictures Generation”, whose different ways of approaching picture making included appropriation, pastiche, performing the image, and reading one picture through another. This course will examine these impulses through critical reading, class discussion, written analysis and research.

ARTH 474 DL1 is a distance education section that meets synchronously. Students should expect to meet on the day and time scheduled.
