Title: Creating the Modern: Intersections of Art & Society in the Nineteenth Century

Authored by Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki

For the course: ARTH 366 Studies in 19th Century Art and Architecture

 

Creating the Modern by Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki is a visually rich open textbook for visual studies, art history, and nineteenth-century studies. �Topics such as class and gender, academism and the avant-garde, the reception and consumption of progressive art, the culture of spectatorship, psycho-social illness, Eurocentrism, and religious and racial prejudice encourage a multi-faceted understanding of how the narrative of nineteenth-century art is a narrative intrinsically attached to the problematics, and promise, of emerging modernity.� Read and view the resource
