This course introduces students to the history and practice of writing about modern and contemporary art. Beginning with examples of historical criticism, we will then investigate more recent discussions around modern art, analyzing contemporary criticism's numerous forms in relation to its diverse venues (newspapers, magazines, and monographs, among other sites) and audiences. While reading comprises a significant portion of our curriculum, students will also regularly generate their own writings based on responses to objects in The Phillips Collection as well as to exhibitions in other museums, galleries, and collections in Washington and New York to be visited during the semester. Instructor: Dr. Suzanne Hudson. Enrollment is restricted to students accepted into the Illinois at the Phillips Collection program in Washington D.C.
