WiSe 12/13: American Art 1945-1970

Vivien Green Fryd

Kommentar

This course explores the theory and practice of mostly American art since 1945, focusing upon modernism and postmodernism. Beginning with the emergence of large-scale abstract painting in New York in the post-war years, we go on to explore challenges to 'formalist' conceptions of the picture and its priority on aesthetic quality as the guarantor of artistic value. We consider what was at stake in the redeployment of avant-garde artistic strategies in the 1950s, and the adoption of serial forms and mechanized production processes by Minimalist and Pop artists in the 1960s. We examine the so-called 'dematerialization' of the art object and the rise of Conceptual Art; the relationship between art, its institutions and politics; the emergence and impact of new media; and the rise of installation art as a dominant presentational form. We will also bring our concerns up to date by engaging with the work of selected contemporary artists. As well as examining a range of different art forms, we will also keep track of the critical debate that surrounded their emergence. Students will be given an initial introduction to key ideas drawn from formalist, Marxist, psychoanalytic, and postmodern theory with an emphasis upon gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity. A priority is placed upon the visual analysis of specific art objects which we will view at the Neue National Gallery and the Hamburger Bahnhof and an attentive, critical engagement with key texts. The format will be a lecture class although class discussion is encouraged. Schließen
