ART 252 - Feminist Art Histories


Credits: 4
Examines the impact of gendered power dynamics and feminism on the history of art from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Through the lens of gender studies, students learn about major movements and moments in art history, including Impressionism, early twentieth century European and American avant-gardes, the transnational emergence of feminist art practice, postmodernism, identity politics, and global contemporary art. Students explore how artists address systemic inequalities with respect to gender, race, and class. Content emphasizes women and queer identifying artists, and the role of visual art in alternately constructing and problematizing ideas of “woman,” femininity, and masculinity.
