Exploring Art History and studio art offers insights into the historical, cultural, and social frameworks that shape our understanding, critique, and production of visual art. The timeless examination of master artists both inspires and cultivates interests as varied as the styles, forms, and broader cultural significance of the artworks that captivate us.
Art history examines artistic works—broadly defined—within their historical settings. Scholars in this field analyze visual culture, encompassing everything from urban design and iconic architecture to painting, sculpture, printmaking, and even film and popular visual media. By nature, art history is interdisciplinary: it draws from political history, religion, economics, and other disciplines to interpret artworks and the intentions behind their creation.
Our faculty specialize in diverse areas, including European art, American visual culture, contemporary art, and Islamic and South Asian art and architecture. We provide comprehensive courses on Western Art, World Art, and Architectural History. Advanced students can engage in specialized seminars focusing on particular themes and critical debates in Art History.
