History of Art Tripos, Parts IIa and IIb, 2017–18: Special subjects

The Faculty Board of Architecture and History of Art gives notice of the special subjects for the History of Art Tripos, 2017–18. The Board shall have the power of subsequently issuing amendments if they have due reason for doing so, and if they are satisfied that no student’s preparation for the examination is adversely affected (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 342, Regulation 11(b)).

Paper 5/6. Gothic art and architecture in France, 1100–1300

This special subject examines the exceptionally fertile period of French medieval art and architecture between the era of monastic reform and the end of the building boom at the end of the 13th century. Starting with Romanesque art in such areas as Normandy and Burgundy, it will examine the major sources of art comment in the 12th century including the writings of St Bernard and Abbot Suger. The Parisian art milieu c. 1150, including Saint-Denis, will act as a springboard to further consideration of the development of Gothic architecture in northern and eastern France (Notre-Dame, Paris, Laon, Soissons, Chartres, Bourges, etc.). Developments in metalwork and portal sculpture will be considered, and also illumination. High Gothic (Reims, Amiens) will follow, with consideration of the portfolio of Villard d’Honnecourt. The Parisian milieu will then be returned to with examination of Gothic architecture and ‘scholasticism’, the Sainte-Chapelle and Court art under Louis IX, and the emergence of Rayonnant. Issues for discussion will include Gothic sculpture, theology and ‘moralitas’, the reception of French art and architecture in Western Europe more generally, and the loss of authority of French architecture to the geographical ‘margins’ from 1300.

Paper 7/8. English Renaissance art and architecture

The reigns of Elizabeth I and James I saw an unprecedented flourishing of the visual arts in England. In this era of political and religious instability, English artists and patrons experimented with new forms and motifs, forging a unique and idiosyncratic style. Yet this was an art full of contradictions: it revelled in a revived medieval chivalry while grappling enthusiastically with classicism, celebrated grandeur in the country house and royal portrait while embracing the intimacy of the portrait miniature. This special subject will examine the tensions and pluralism of English art c. 1550–1625, paying close attention to the social and cultural contexts that framed and shaped it. The course will cover panel painting and limning, architecture, sculpture, printmaking, the luxury arts, and the court masque alongside the period developments in literature and theatre with which they were imbricated. The complexities and significance of gender (particularly under Elizabeth), religious confession, and courtly self-fashioning for the arts will be addressed. Throughout, English art’s relationship to continental models – at the time and in subsequent historiography – will be critically assessed, as will its connection to the idea of Renaissance.

Paper 9/10. Paris 1750–1800: the birth of the modern art world

Many of the features that characterize the modern art world have their origins in Paris in the years 1750–1800. They include the birth of the public art gallery, in the Palais du Luxembourg and the Louvre, the rise of a new, articulate middle class public of art lovers, critics, and painters, or the development of new venues to discuss art, such as the Salons. The works of Winckelmann were published in French translation immediately after their first appearance in German; the rediscovery of Herculaneum and Pompeii had a great impact on the development of neo-classicism and the new discipline of archaeology. At the same time, critics, artists, and the public were obsessed with the art and art politics of the Grand Siècle. A common theme that links all these developments is the emergence of an educated, articulate public as a main actor in the Paris art world. This seminar will explore how these developments interacted to make Paris around 1750 the place where the modern art world was born; more in particular, it will consider how these, often conflicting, developments manifested themselves around a series of public debates, such as the disputes caused by the rediscovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum, or excavations at Tivoli; the position of sculpture as a public art, and its conflicted relation with models from Antiquity or the Renaissance; innovations in history painting, still life, and genre scenes; or the debates that surrounded the transformation of the Louvre from a palace for an absent king to the first public museum; the new artists and audiences that met in the Salons; or the debates caused by the publication of Winckelmann’s History of Classical Art.

Paper 11/12. Italian art and architecture in the age of Giotto

Italy’s artistic culture underwent a revolution in the decades around 1300 – a seismic shift towards more naturalistic modes of representation most strongly associated with Giotto di Bondone (c. 1267–1337). This course disentangles the Florentine master from Vasarian myth and modern attribution debates, reassessing his achievements within the context of his own time. The course considers Giotto alongside other leading painters (his Florentine compatriot Cimabue and the Sienese Duccio, Simone Martini, and both Lorenzetti) as well as the architect-sculptor Arnolfo di Cambio, setting them against the dynamic backdrop of Tuscany’s burgeoning urban centres (Florence, Siena, Pisa). The course explores links between art and literature, especially through the poetry of Dante, and the emergence of pictorial allegory capable of communicating complex philosophical and political concepts. Beyond Tuscany, the course examines several other major artistic centres where Giotto worked: Rome, where the papacy energetically renewed the eternal city’s early Christian past; Assisi, headquarters of the Franciscan Order and site of the peninsula’s most intensive concentration of fresco cycles; Padua, where the university encouraged artists to engage with classical antiquity and the new science of optics; and Naples, whose Angevin kings refashioned their southern capital with Gothic architecture imported from France.

Paper 13/14. Vision and representation in contemporary art

This course explores the changing status of the art object from the mid-1980s to the present day, considering how vision and representation took centre stage. While the optical had been fundamental to the Modernist project, with the rise of Minimalism and Conceptualism in the 1960s and 1970s these concerns had been displaced. By the 1980s artists and theorists influenced by political breakthroughs in the decades before, returned to the visual field to explore the limits of representation in a changing world. Beginning with appropriation and moving through to recent returns to image-making in post-internet art, as well as queer experiments with alternative forms of portraiture, the course will trace the politics of looking and being looked at. This course will also address changes in technology, exploring artists’ investigations of digital and analogue media and the range of theoretical interests this has supported from Hito Steyerl’s discussion of the ‘poor image’, to Tacita Dean’s fetishization of film, and Ryan Trecartin’s experiments with mimesis. More broadly, this course will provide a framework to consider Contemporary Art in the work of art historians. It will not only address the history of art-making over the last thirty years, but also explore how art historians might approach the unstable and changing world of contemporary practice.

Paper 15/16. Painting and patronage in Imperial Russia

From the reign of Peter the Great (1682–1725), artistic practice in Russia underwent a period of remarkably accelerated development, complementing the long-standing tradition of icon painting with a wealth of experimentation in secular art. At the same time, the country acquired art collections of international repute, thanks to the activities of patrons as ambitious as Catherine the Great. This course examines the vibrant visual culture which resulted, from the imposing portraits of the eighteenth-century court, to the iconoclastic antics of the pre-Revolutionary avant-garde. By focusing both on painters unfamiliar in the West and on works as canonical as Malevich’s Black Square, the course will challenge standard interpretations of the modernist mainstream, and consider the role which Russia played in the wider development of Western European art.

Paper 17/18. Art against the world: visual art, 1945–1989

Against the perceived complacency of post-war modernist painting, Conceptual Art and related movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s renewed the promise of the early 20th century avant-gardes. Again, art was to dismantle culturally dominant patterns of thinking and acting. The course will examine how these ambitions played out 1945–1989, interrogating three interrelated ideas: that progressive art can resist the spectacle of consumer culture, that art can offer a critique of its own institutions, and that art can offer new models for political action. Artists studied will include Abstract Expressionists in the 1950s, Conceptual artists in the 1960s, and the women’s art movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The course looks in detail at the socio-political context of the Cold War, and at the anti-war, civil rights, and women’s political movements. Geographically, the course focuses on the art of the United States, drawing comparative studies from the USSR, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe.

Paper 19/20. British architecture in the age of enlightenment, industry, and reform

The century from c. 1750 to c. 1850 was one of almost unprecedented development in British architecture. New relationships with the ruined buildings of the ancient Græco-Roman world emerged in response to the effects of the Grand Tour and of the incipient science of archaeology, while an indigenous antithesis was represented by surviving or revived Gothic forms. The ideologies of the Picturesque and of Romanticism incorporated both classicism and medievalism, as well as more exotic forms of architecture inspired by Britain’s trading links with the Far East. This was also the period in which Britain emerged as the world’s first industrial nation, leading not just to new building materials and building types but also to rapid expansion of cities. In this special subject, the architectural effects of changing political and social imperatives in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries will be studied against the background of longstanding British traditions in building and landscape design.

Paper 21/22. Collecting Islamic art

This course offers a broad examination of the emergence and development of the field of Islamic art from the 19th to the 21st century. It will begin with an exploration of the rich artistic output of individuals like Owen Jones and Jules Bourgoin whose borrowings of patterns from sites like the Alhambra almost instantaneously sparked global interest in Islamic ornament and architecture. The course will go on to examine the effects of these discoveries on artisanal productions worldwide and their role in major movements such as the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau. It will navigate through the rooms of collectors like Frederic Leighton and Albert Goupil, look closely at the Orientalist oeuvre of artists like Jean-Léon Gérôme and his one-time disciple Osman Hamdi Bey, and cast a critical eye on modern modes of displaying Islamic art in exhibitions and museums. Through these examples, participants will have the opportunity to discuss such concepts as Orientalism and Islamic aniconism and look in depth at the complicated history of archaeology and the circulation of objects that affected the formation of the field. The course will include visits to the Fitzwilliam Museum to study its Islamic art collections on site.
