This course will be a critical examination of painting in
France between 1850 and 1900. We will focus mainly upon the
work of Manet, Morisot, Degas, Cassatt, Monet, Renoir,
Caillebotte, Seurat, Van Gogh, and Gauguin, as well as on
photography and popular imagery. Images will be analyzed in
relation to such recurring themes as urbanism, modernity,
the avant-garde, mass culture, politics, gender, fashion,
race, and class. We will also consider various art
historical methodologies (i.e., feminist, social historical,
Marxist, formalist).
