    Description
    This course focuses on the history of art and architecture in Mexico from the Olmecs to the Muralists and beyond. Emphasis will be placed on an in-depth consideration of particular artworks and monuments and their connection to historical, social, political, economic, and religious contexts as well as their role in the formation of cultural and/or national identity. Interdisciplinary perspectives will be explored and each culture/period will be considered both by itself and as it relates to earlier and later manifestations.
