CL: Art Hist 2896 (801). Notes: An extra media fee of 4,400 yen is required. Field trips are mandatory in this class. Prior to spring 2017, the course was “As St 2096 Writing Seminar I: Modern Japanese Art “. Topical Section Description: This is a writing-intensive Art History course examining Western influence on modern Japanese visual expression spanning the early Eighteenth century in the Edo period through the end of the Second World War. This period is marked by two watershed events linked to Western interventions: the collapse of centuries-old samurai feudalism and Japan’s defeat in the Second World War. The course begins by introducing Japan’s early encounters with the West and the following effort to modernize itself. Western influence touched every aspect of Japanese life including the visual arts. The course will explore the evolution and transformation of Japanese visual arts in which Western knowledge and culture played a crucial role, and often challenged Japan’s long-standing traditional values and artistic practices. The course will chronologically highlight ways in which Japanese artists had to question and gauge their own artistic practices and styles to cope with the aesthetic pendulum swinging back and forth between the foreign and domestic in the rapidly changing political, societal and cultural climate.
