HART296 Modern + Contemporary Latin American Art 3cr

This is an introductory course to the art and visual culture of Latin America from the
pre-conquest era to the present. After a survey of pre-conquest cultures, our focus shifts to
Spanish and Portuguese colonial art, then to art of the independence era in the first half of the
nineteenth century, the rise of modernism across Latin America in the 1920s, and finally,
contemporary Latin American and Latino American art, including Chicano American art.
