ART 323 Women in Art

This course focuses on international modern and contemporary women artists. After a brief historical survey of 16th to 19th century works by women, we focus on significant contemporary women artists around the globe. Topics include: how gender issues are encoded in images of women; international socio-political contexts for the creation of art by women; requirements, restrictions, and obstacles women in the past endured to become artists; often-neglected female artists’ contributions to major global modern and contemporary art movements; theoretical and philosophical writings from and about women artists and art historians; and the contemporary shift to accessibility and visibility through global exhibitions, museum collections, biennales, and literature.
