Requirements / organisational issues:
In November 2018, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne will present an ambitious exhibition on American art from the 17th to mid- 20th century. This will be the first exhibition to offer a survey of American art in a German museum in over 40 years. The exhibition will include substantial loans of important paintings, prints, and photographs from American museums that are rarely seen in Germany.
This course will work in tandem with the museum exhibition by introducing students to the key themes of American art and allowing for the unique opportunity to work directly with American art found in the museum exhibition. Among the periods represented and discussed during the course will include colonial and Revolutionary art, Native American depictions, the Hudson River School, representations of the Civil War, Realism, and the Armory Show of 1913. Further information will be uploaded on ILIAS.
This course has two mandatory components:
1.) An excursion to the Wallraf-Richartz Museum on Monday, 3 December
2.) Participation in a workshop in February: each student will research and present on an art object from the exhibition
No exceptions will be made and students will be required to commit to both requirements in order to take the course.
