Course Description:
This seminar takes a global and cross-cultural view of landscape art in the early modern through contemporary periods. Landscapes often appear to be politically neutral. They offer us escapes to unspoiled places where nature is celebrated- sublime wildernesses, pastoral pasts, and Edenic gardens. Yet in many parts of the world, the rise of landscape art coincided with and contributed to ideologies of expansionism, colonialism, industrialism, and resource extraction. In this class, we wrestle with these contradictions as we consider the global history of landscape art. |
