AH 307 - Discovering Difference: Art in the Age of Encounter

(3.00 cr.)

The centuries following Columbus's "discovery" of the New World in 1492 were marked by an unprecedented degree of interchange between formerly unconnected cultures. In Europe, Asia, and the Americas this contact had wide-ranging effects in terms of politics, economics, religion, culture, and art. Using art and visual culture as points of entry, this course examines the historical, cultural, and aesthetic implications of this interchange. Fulfills Art History non-Western requirement.
