Art History. This course will explore the art and architecture of America from the early seventeenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, with a particular focus on national identity and self-invention. We will investigate how art informs and is informed by the religious, political, and socio-economic concerns of the period, and how the tensions and desires of an emerging nation were negotiated through its cultural artifacts.
