ART 400-01 - Seminar in Art History (Spring)

4 credits (Spring)

Art and Theater in France, 1600-1900. This senior seminar for Art History majors studies the way that French visual artists represented theater and performance from the seventeenth through the nineteenth century. Working in a static medium, artists faced the challenge of translating the temporality of the dramatic performance and the aura of the performer into the language of art. Through our readings and discussion, we will identify the specifically visual language that artists created in order to represent the theater.

Prerequisite: Junior or senior standing in art history concentration.
Instructor: Knowles
