This summer session course offers an introduction to art history through a selection of seminal works drawn from Western and East Asian traditions. Structured chronologically and articulated through key thematic concerns—belief and devotion, power and the human form, nature and landscape, and modernity and innovation—the course investigates how artists have given form to spirituality, identity, the natural world, and the conditions of modern life. By engaging canonical Western artworks in comparative analysis with works from China, Japan, and Korea—with a special focus on Korean art—the course foregrounds both cross-cultural perspectives and the distinctive contributions of East Asian traditions. Lectures and discussions will cultivate close visual analysis, comparative interpretation, and critical engagement, enabling students to grasp art’s enduring significance in shaping human history.
