Description: This seminar will consider both the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of an aesthetics of realism. As a form of art concerned with the world as it is, in all its imperfection, realism is often assumed to ignore ideas of beauty, and even to court harsh, rough or ugly appearances. But as we will see there is both theoretical basis for an aesthetics of realism and a long history of its visual development. Cross-list: HART 579. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for HART 379 if student has credit for HART 579.
