Course Description:
This hands-on seminar meets at the Hill-Stead museum in Farmington to discuss the museum's major collection of Impressionist art in the context of recent scholarship on artists including Manet, Monet, Degas, Cassatt and Whistler and the role of collecting in American society ca. 1900. The seminar will take advantage of the location in a historic house and the physical proximity of major art works by staging discussions in front of works in the collection. As a culminating assignment, students will have the opportunity to assist on curatorial research and planning for a future exhibition and to develop a public facing presentation for museum visitors. |
