AHST 206 American Art to 1945 Division of Liberal Arts
3 credits 45.0 hours
200 level undergraduate course
American artists today are the inheritors of a great art-historical legacy that we, ourselves, were surprisingly slow to fully recognize.

Because Philadelphia played an enormously important role in the development of early American art, whenever possible we will visit local venues where such art was made, and is displayed. Artists to be considered include: the colonial sculptor/spy Patience Lovell Wright, distinguished painters J.S. Copley and Benjamin West, architects Thomas Jefferson and Julia Morgan, Philadelphia natives Mary Cassatt and Thomas Eakins, Regionalist painter Grant Wood, the popularizer of mobiles Alexander Calder, and Frank Lloyd Wright, the controversial designer of the western Pennsylvania tourist attraction: “Fallingwater.”

AHST 311 Dirty Pictures: A History of Art Censorship Division of Liberal Arts
3 credits 45.0 hours
300 level undergraduate course
There has been some form of art censorship, virtually everywhere in the world, as long as there has been art. For centuries visual artworks deemed offensive have been altered or destroyed, their audiences restricted and their creators fined, imprisoned, harassed, and/or physically harmed. The purpose of this course is to examine important cases of art censorship, to try and understand why this phenomenon has been so widespread and long-lasting and to consider its implications within, and beyond, the art community today and for the future. After briefly surveying the history of art censorship in the Western world from antiquity through the mid-20th century, this course will focus on five recent case studies - particularly notorious instances of art censorship that occurred in the U.S. between 1982 and 2004. We will examine the basic facts of each case, then review and discuss the principal responses it has generated and its subsequent implications, from several points of view. Some of the complex questions to be explored will include: Exactly what constitutes ‘censorship’? Under what circumstances might censorship be justified? Should different criteria be applied to potentially controversial public art, vs. the art displayed in art galleries and museums?
