ARTH779F
Seminar in Japanese Art; Art and the Cold War: The View from Japan
The Cold War was a global event, and its art ideologically motivated, but English-language histories rarely include objects or perspectives from outside America and Europe. East Asia, of course, was a major site in the East-West struggle between "the free world" and Communism: it saw China's Communist Revolution, the war in Korea, and America's long occupation of Japan. Adopting the view from Japan, this course will consider the cultural role of the art of the Cold War in social, geopolitical and transnational contexts.
