Topic for spring 2014: U.S. Art of the 1960’s

This class will examine the 1960’s as a decade of dramatic change in American art, paralleling the change in the American way of life. By 1960, many of the Post-war baby boomers were reaching adolescence, and led a movement away from the conservative lifestyle and attitudes of the 1950’s. Minorities, women, and young people challenged the Establishment in all relams. Art during the decade will be seen to start with a critique of consumerism through Pop art, and evolve toward a widespread questioning: of institutional authority, of gender and racial stereotypes, of our involvement in Vietnam, and of the modernist canon.
