VF251: Representation of the Feminine Nude in Western Art: The Contributions of Women Artists in Art History Part 1

Part 1 of a 2 part lecture series on The Contribution of Women in Art History (Painting and Sculpture)

The Representation of the Nude in Western Painting: 

The nude is an enduring tradition in Western art and has always been a major theme for many artists. After a period of semi dormant representation during the Middle Ages, it became a constant preoccupation at the Renaissance. During the modern era, many artists are no longer interested in depicting the ideals and traditions of the past.

Lecture 2: March 4 - During the 19th and the 20th centuries
