Description: In the late ’60s, the question of color photography came into focus. Wrestling with the previous generation of artists who only took black and white seriously, the young artists started using color film and revolutionized the language of photography. Our class will start here, starting by understanding this new language in prominent formalist theories during that time. We will then move forward in time and look at the works of preceding artists, who narrate through that language, utilizing it for personal and political ends. By the end of the course, you will gain skills to analyze photographs you encounter everywhere — from those in news articles to those in gallery shows. You will also have a comprehensive understanding of how photography can be used for artistic means, and how are those photographs distinguished from photographic materials we encounter every day.
