Teaching Challenge:

History of Art and Architecture 172w provided an introduction to American art and visual culture in the years between the Civil War and the Cold War. Thematically-focused lectures concentrated on such issues as the shifting status of the art object within an environment of rapidly proliferating consumer products, the incorporation of scientific and industrial processes into artistic practice, the continually renegotiated relationship between nationalism and abstraction, and new methods of understanding history and subjectivity in the face of urbanization, mechanized reproduction, and the development of the mass media.
