    Description
    This course will provide a chronological, thematic, and cross-cultural examination of the contributions of women as producers, patrons, subjects, and audience of visual arts from the Renaissance to the 21st century. Special attention will be given to issues of sex, gender, race, socio-economic, national, and political identities. The course will highlight social perceptions and obstacles relevant to women in the visual arts and will apply feminist and revisionist critiques to traditional art historical methodologies.
