HART 213 History of Photography and Moving Image |
3 Credits |
This course will review the invention of photography
and film in the context of different arguments
concerning the history of representation and
representational practices. In what ways were
photography and film new? In what ways did they serve
contemporary interests? What, if anything, do
photography and moving image practices share? The
work of different historians of film and photography
will be reviewed, as well as a range of work by
photographers and film-makers which has been judged
to be important in those histories.

HART 234 Classical Mythology in Art |
3 Credits |
This course is intended as an introduction to Greek
and Roman mythology. The aim is to
acquaint students to the major mythological characters
and stories. Greek and Roman gods,
goddesses, demigods, heroes and their stories have
employed and interpreted in
works of art, literature, and music throughout centuries.
This course aims to offer a basic yet
solid background to students who wish to have a better
understanding of such reflections in various
fields of cultural production. Without disregarding the
religious and ritual aspects of mythology,
this course focuses on the characters and the stories
themselves rather than theory. Following
the trail of Ovid, the course will explore how myths were
used in the visual arts.

HART 330 The Imaginary of the Middle Ages in Modern Art and Popular Culture |
3 Credits |
This course explores the appropriation and reenactment of
imaginary concepts and forms of
?the medieval? in modern art and popular
culture. It discusses selected works of art,
architecture, literature, and cinema from the
nineteenth century to the twenty-first. Where
appropriate, as with the Bayeux Tapestry and
the Overlord Embroidery, medieval sources of
inspiration will be brought into the discussion
to problematize the relationship between the
imaginary of the Middle Ages that was appropriated
and reenacted, and the dynamics behind
the production of the medieval work of art. In cases
where connections are not immediate
(the works of J. R R. Tolkien), or where the source
of inspiration is itself imaginary
(the Legend of King Arthur), the emphasis will be on
different modes of the imaginary
at play in medieval and modern contexts.

HART 333 Heavenly Spires: Introduction to Medieval European Art and Architecture |
3 Credits |
The art and architecture of the Middle Ages in Western
Europe from the time of Charlemagne until the Late
Gothic era. The spread of indigenous Germanic traditions,
and the eventual demise of Roman culture.
Charlemagne's renovatio as the threshold of both an
ordered society and a new age of faith. Churches and
monasteries proliferating in Carolingian and Romanesque
Europe as new centers of learning and art. The subsequent
shift of the economy from the countryside to the growing
cities, leading to a new cultural milieu displaying
unprecedented responsiveness to the material world. The
contrasts between the realism of Gothic imagery and
the highly stylized, almost abstract forms of the
Romanesque; between the bright interiors of the new soaring
cathedrals that rose over the skylines of medieval cities,
and the dark, massive structures of the preceding era.
Gothic cathedrals as the most impressive symbols of this
High Medieval moment. For the possibility of being taken as
a graduate-level taught course, subject to extra
readings and other requirements, see HART 533.

HART 334 Roman Art in Context |
3 Credits |
This course aims to present a survey of Roman
art in its archaeological, historical, cultural
and social context. Rather than a simple
presentation of aesthetically pleasing art
objects, the course questions and
scrutinizes the peculiar visual language created
and conveyed by images. The following
questions are discussed: What do we mean
by Roman art and what artistic media does
it include? How does it relate to Greek
art? How did the Romans express power and
political agenda through art? How did they
express pleasure or self-image? While
the presentation of the material is chronological
for better understanding, the approach is
contextual and thematic. Particular attention is
paid to the understanding of the different
media, which comprise portrait and relief
sculpture, sarcophagi, wall painting, mosaics,
and minor arts, such as gems. Students are
expected to learn the basics of Roman
art and take the first steps in questioning
its historical value.

This course aims to consider what has counted
as modern in art since --and before-- the advent
of the avant-garde in Europe in the
mid-nineteenth century. The changing relations
between notions of modernity and the aims
of artists and their works is reviewed. The significance
of movements in art, such as romanticism,
realism, impressionism, and post-impressionism,
towards the development of `modern art' is assessed.
Students may expect to consider works by
key artists such as Delacroix, Ingres, Turner,
Constable, Courbet, Manet, Monet, Cezanne,
Gauguin, Seurat, Van Gogh. Notions of modernity
and modernism in art will be examined as part
of a consideration of the aims of modern art,

HART 426 Leonardo and Michelangelo: Heroes of the Renaissance |
3 Credits |
This course looks at the work of Leonardo da Vinci and
Michelangelo Buonarotti, the two protagonists of the High
Renaissance whose fame has assumed mythical proportion
over the centuries. The work of these artists will be
analyzed against the cultural and intellectual background
of sixteenth-century Italy. Issues discussed include
the philosophical and scientific inquiries that defined the
humanist discourse, new challenges of knowledge, and
rise of the mercantile aristocracy. The focus of the course
will be on the impact of these developments on the arts
and the re-definition of the Renaissance visual code.
Leonardo's analytical scrutiny and Michelangelo's sweeping
vision are two opposites that epitomize the new visuality.
The class will analyze major works of the period to
understand the development of their respective styles
and their impact on the artistic scene. The course will
conclude with an examination of the myth of Leonardo
and Michelangelo, its reception and relevance today.

HART 431 The Dome of Gold : The Art of the Byzantine Empire |
3 Credits |
This course examines the art and architecture of the
Byzantine Empire from its beginnings in the sixth
century until its end in 1453. The story of Byzantium begins
with emperor Justinian's attempt to revive the glory of
ancient Rome in Constantinople. This was short-lived,
as ethnic and political upheavals in the following centuries
set the eastern empire on a path of decline into the status
of a medieval principality. Austere saints in dim candlelit
interiors replaced the festive images of salvation
that had adorned the walls of Justinian's dazzling bright
churches. Despite this inclination toward mysticism,
links with Antiquity were not severed, and a profoundly
classical humanism came to permeate even the strictest and
most transcendental of Byzantine mosaics, ivory plaques,
illuminated manuscripts, or icons. It is no accident,
therefore, that even under the Paleologue dynasty, there
should have been a true classical revival which
anticipated the Italian Renaissance.

HART 434 Art and Architecture of the Medieval Mediterranean |
3 Credits |
This course provides a comparative survey of the
medieval art and architecture (3rd - 13th centuries)
of the Mediterranean basin. The history of medieval
art and architecture has been traditionally
divided into various (Late Antique, Early Christian,
Islamic, Romanesque, Gothic, Jewish)
compartments by temporal, stylistic and geographic lines.
One aim of this course is to challenge such
divisions by focusing on the larger Mediterranean basin in
comparative light, and introducing continuities,
interactions, contacts and conflicts that render
the above categories obsolete. Another aim is to
challenge the established practice of art and
architectural history by focusing, instead of the form
alone, on the comparable circumstances
under which art and architecture were produced.

HART 444 Designing the Nation. Art and Nationalism |
3 Credits |
This course examines the role of the visual arts and
architecture in nationalist ideologies.
The first part of the course is an introduction
into visual representation, style, iconography,
and symbolism. Examples used include a comparative
study of public and imperial imagery of ancient
Rome, Napoleonic Europe, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
The main part of the course focuses on subject
matter, idioms and aesthetics systems in official
architecture, public monuments and the fine
and decorative arts perceived as representative of a
nation's origins or cultural affiliation:
from revivalist idioms (Gothic to Renaissance and
Byzantine to Ottoman) to themes and idioms
drawing from history, myth and folklore. The lectures
will concentrate on case studies from
Central Europe and the Balkans, but will include an
overview of developments in the visual arts and architecture
of England, Germany, France, Russia, and Turkey.

HART 450 Caravaggio |
3 Credits |
Caravaggio was one of the greatest artists of all
time. He was also one of the most controversial.
Nicolas Poussin once said of Caravaggio that he
came into the world to destroy the art of painting. Artist,
convicted murderer, and adventurer, Caravaggio was
offensive and provocative in art as in life. His drunks
and thugs impersonating saints set in Rome’s filthy
alleys and seedy taverns shook the art world to the core.
Caravaggio sneered at classicism and the canons held
sacred since the Renaissance and chose to rely on
natural observation instead. This course focuses on issues
of style, content, and patronage to understand Caravaggio’s
art and its deeper implications. Was his rejection of
refinement a criticism of the excesses of the church?
Was it an appeal by the embattled Roman church
to the poor and underprivileged? Or was it simply a radical
avant-garde statement for its own sake?

HART 480 Bauhaus |
3 Credits |
For one extraordinary moment between the two world
wars creativity was set free from social bonds and bold
experimentation in the arts echoed revolutionary changes in
technology and society. At the vanguard was Bauhaus, the
school and movement that merged art, architecture, and
design into a style free from the bonds of history and
national boundaries. Bauhaus was truly an
international art for a new age. This course looks
at the key moments in the history of Bauhaus
against the cultural and intellectual backdrop of interwar
Europe and treats them within the wider context of
modernism. It covers a variety of related art, architecture
and design movements starting briefly with an overview of
the origins of modernism in the work of William
Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau
and concluding with important movements such as
Constructivism, Cubism, De Stijl, New Objectivity,
Suprematism and Futurism.
