A/HI 261: Introduction to Latin American Visual Culture after 1900

Art History · 3 credits · Art and Art History

This course introduces students to the richness and vast production of art, architecture, and visual culture of Latin America after 1900. The course covers formative movements and approaches to the visual field, emphasizing late 19th century uprisings against colonial rule before focusing on the 20th and 21st centuries. Students will learn how artists contended with shifting perspectives on race, class, and gender, alongside their relationships to national political movements and European avant-gardes. We will trace the emergence of Chicanx and Latine artistic practices in the postwar United States, as American artists further established concepts around identity. Finally, the course analyzes a vast array of practices, using artist statements, manifestos, and secondary texts to comprehend the dynamic production of such communities throughout the Americas.
