Deconstructing the Western Canon: A New Approach to Art History
In short: This introductory lecture sets the stage for a comprehensive 73-part series on modern art. It establishes a critical framework that seeks to move beyond traditional boundaries by integrating diverse global perspectives.
The series primarily examines European and American art but intentionally incorporates Chinese art to challenge and destabilize Western-centered narratives of art history. By questioning these established centers, the course aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of how modern art evolved.
While the core lectures focus on these regions, the curriculum also includes global perspectives through student presentations and workshop-style content from other courses.
