Course surveys major concepts and methods of 20th century art theory and criticism from the early formalism of Roger Fry and Clive Bell to the late Modernism critical theories of Clement Greenberg. Instruction covers other art-historical points of view such as stylistic analysis, iconography, structuralism and semiotics, and the social history of art. Discussion of contemporary critical positions of Post-Modernism includes Post-Structuralist attitudes and responses to late 20th century art found in Deconstructionism, Feminism, Neomarxism, and identity politics.
