HART 521 Art in the age of Revolt: Early Modernity |
3 Credits |
This course aims to consider what has counted
as modern in art since --and before-- the advent
of the avant-garde in Europe in the
mid-nineteenth century. The changing relations
between notions of modernity and the aims
of artists and their works is reviewed. The significance
of movements in art, such as romanticism,
realism, impressionism, and post-impressionism,
towards the development of `modern art' is assessed.

Constable, Courbet, Manet, Monet, Cezanne,
Gauguin, Seurat, Van Gogh. Notions of modernity
and modernism in art will be examined as part
of a consideration of the aims of modern art,

HART 525 Art & History at the Museum |
3 Credits |
The aim of this course is above all to seize the
opportunity of an important museum exhibition
held in Istanbul (at SSM or elsewhere) by using its
educational potential: The course will not
only be based on "although not limited to" the exhibition
material, it will also be taught at the museum.
This course aims to provide students with knowledge
on a given art history/ history topic based
on a closer study of "the real works" displayed at the
exhibition but also based on the design and
implementation of museum practice-oriented projects
that will be integrated in the museum
educational activities.
The topic of this course will change each time it is
offered since it depends on the opportunities
provided by ongoing exhibitions in İstanbul

HART 531 The Dome of Gold : The Art of the Byzantine Empire |
3 Credits |
This course examines the art and architecture of
the Byzantine Empire from its beginnings in the sixth
century until its end in 1453. The story of Byzantium begins
with emperor Justinian's attempt to revive the glory of
ancient Rome in Constantinople. This was short-lived,
as ethnic and political upheavals in the following centuries
set the eastern empire on a path of decline
into the status of a medieval principality. Austere saints
in dim candlelit interiors replaced the festive images of
salvation that had adorned the walls of Justinian's
dazzling bright churches. Despite this inclination toward
mysticism, links with Antiquity were not severed, and
a profoundly classical humanism came to permeate even
the strictest and most transcendental of Byzantine mosaics,
ivory plaques, illuminated manuscripts, or icons.
It is no accident, therefore, that even under the Paleologue
dynasty, there should have been a true classical revival
which anticipated the Italian Renaissance.

HART 533 Heavenly Spires: Introduction to Medieval European Art and Architecture |
3 Credits |
The art and architecture of the Middle Ages in Western
Europe from the time of Charlemagne until the Late
Gothic era. The spread of indigenous Germanic
traditions, and the eventual demise of Roman culture.
Charlemagne's renovatio as the threshold of both an
ordered society and a new age of faith. Churches and
monasteries proliferating in Carolingian and
Romanesque Europe as new centers of learning and art.
The subsequent shift of the economy from the
countryside to the growing cities, leading to a new
cultural milieu displaying unprecedented
responsiveness to the material world. The contrasts
between the realism of Gothic imagery and the highly
stylized, almost abstract forms of the Romanesque;
between the bright interiors of the new soaring
cathedrals that rose over the skylines of medieval
cities, and the dark, massive structures of the preceding
era. Gothic cathedrals as the most impressive symbols
of this High Medieval moment. For the possibility of
being taken as an undergraduate course, see HART 433.

HART 550 Caravaggio |
3 Credits |
Caravaggio was one of the greatest artists of all
time. He was also one of the most controversial.
Nicolas Poussin once said of Caravaggio that he
came into the world to destroy the art of painting. Artist,
convicted murderer, and adventurer, Caravaggio was
offensive and provocative in art as in life. His drunks
and thugs impersonating saints set in Rome’s filthy
alleys and seedy taverns shook the art world to the core.
Caravaggio sneered at classicism and the canons held
sacred since the Renaissance and chose to rely on
natural observation instead. This course focuses on issues
of style, content, and patronage to understand Caravaggio’s
art and its deeper implications. Was his rejection of
refinement a criticism of the excesses of the church?
Was it an appeal by the embattled Roman church
to the poor and underprivileged? Or was it simply a radical
avant-garde statement for its own sake?

HART 580 Bauhaus |
3 Credits |
For one extraordinary moment between the two world
wars creativity was set free from social bonds and bold
experimentation in the arts echoed revolutionary changes in
technology and society. At the vanguard was Bauhaus, the
school and movement that merged art, architecture, and
design into a style free from the bonds of history and
national boundaries. Bauhaus was truly an
international art for a new age. This course looks
at the key moments in the history of Bauhaus
against the cultural and intellectual backdrop of interwar
Europe and treats them within the wider context of
modernism. It covers a variety of related art, architecture
and design movements starting briefly with an overview of
the origins of modernism in the work of William
Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau
and concluding with important movements such as
Constructivism, Cubism, De Stijl, New Objectivity,
Suprematism and Futurism.

HART 635 Ottoman and Safavid Art History |
3 Credits |
This course is an introduction to the art and architecture
of the Ottoman Empire and its neighbor and
rival to the east, Safavid Iran, during the
16th?17th century heyday of both. We will
consider how each empire used artistic means ? architecture,
painting, decoration, and other arts ? to
put its own distinctive perceptual stamp on the world
within its reach. To this end, it considers a
number of major works (as well as some minor ones) of
each dynasty in a constellation of
contexts: political, cultural, stylistic. A running theme
will be the notion that art serves
''power'' and how this paradigm has affected the study
of Ottoman and Safavid art history.

HART 644 Designing the Nation. Art and Nationalism |
3 Credits |
This course examines the role of the visual arts and
architecture in nationalist ideologies. The first part of
the course is an introduction into visual
representation, style, iconography, and
symbolism. Examples used include a comparative
study of public and imperial imagery of
ancient Rome, Napoleonic Europe, the Soviet Union
and Nazi Germany. The main part of the
course focuses on subject matter, idioms and aesthetics
systems in official architecture, public monuments
and the fine and decorative arts perceived as representative
of a nation's origins or cultural affiliation:
from revivalist idioms (Gothic to Renaissance and
Byzantine to Ottoman) to themes and idioms
drawing from history, myth and folklore. The lectures
will concentrate on case studies from Central
Europe and the Balkans, but will include an
overview of developments in the visual arts and architecture
of England, Germany, France, Russia, and Turkey.
