ART 243 Making Art Modern: Radicals & Revolutionaries 19th Century
In the 19th century, artists developed new and radical ways to envision the world. Revolutionary artistic movements flourished in response to urbanization, industrialization, and colonialism. Along with these cultural forces, changes in patronage prompted artists to explore new styles and techniques like expressive color and the brand-new medium of photography. Through class discussion and site visits, students become familiar with the collections at the Museum of Fine Arts and study in person the works of Cassatt, Manet, Degas, Monet, and others.
