This introductory survey explores Latin American and Latinx art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Through a series of case studies we will investigate how these painters, photographers, muralists and others engaged international currents (from symbolism to conceptual art) while also addressing local themes, such as national and racial identity, class difference, gender inequality, political struggle, and state violence. We will also cover the history of collecting and exhibiting Latin American and Latinx art. This course has no prerequisites; students without an art history background are welcome. Advanced students who enroll in 334 will have additional assignments, including a research essay.
