NEW: Practicing Arts

The development of photography might have been the single most important factor in the birth of modernism.  It effortlessly beat academic painting at its own game, juxtaposed high and low elements of culture, emphasized the importance of process in art, and opened eyes to the incongruous and unexpected.  This course will examine both photographic modernism and photography's relationship with other expressions of modernism, in a timeline from Maurice Denis's declaration of independence of the picture plane in the 1880s to the use of deadpan photographs by artists beginning with Ed Ruscha in the 1960s.  In between we will cover the photomontage, rayograms, found objects, advertising, newspapers, documents, as well as photographers from Degas and Zola to Frank, Arbus, and Winogrand.  There will be concurrent readings from relevant examples of literary modernism.
