This course examines art and architecture created in the US from colonial times until now, with a focus on the twentieth century. The organization of the course is both thematic and (roughly) chronological. We will discuss major artists and architects, such as John Singleton Copley, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, and Andy Warhol, but will also view the production of art within a wider context of social, political, and cultural issues, covering topics such as Manifest Destiny, the New Deal, gender, and multiculturalism.
