Introduction to the modern era of Western art history, focusing on European and American histories. It begins reviewing the 18th-century European Enlightenment: scientific inquiry and new forms of representation are the models for the course. Proceeding through the 19th-century histories of colonization and land grabs, and then move to the 20th-century, focusing on the rise of urbanism, migration, and new developments in abstract art; additional focus on ethnicity, race, sexuality and gender across the Arts & Crafts Movement, and the rise of internationalism and global art histories in the 21st-century, ending the course by examining the present time period.
