ARTH 41.01 Modernism and Modernity: Art in late nineteenth-century France

From 1848 to 1914, French art and the modern city of Paris dominated the international art scene. This course explores the radical visual culture of the period in painting, sculpture, prints and photography, from the realism of Courbet and Manet to the abstraction of Seurat and Cézanne. We will focus on how new technologies, political and social revolutions, and exhibition culture influenced the work of Cassatt, Degas, Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and Rodin, among others.
