Fall 2026
Art History 185 (Gerstel): The Art of Weaving in Greece, T 1-2:50 (Rolfe 2117)
Study of weaving in Greece, from ancient world through contemporary practices.
Art History C217B (Gerstel): Space of Monumental Painting, M 2-3:50 (Rolfe 2117)
Introduction to monumental painting with emphasis on Byzantium. Focus on particular spaces–domestic settings, churches, public buildings–and their component parts. Consideration of what kind of painting was appropriate, who beholders were, how painting responded to ritual, and how sound and light impacted choices about representations. Class also looks at what kinds of theoretical literature might be useful in framing discussions of monumental art, space, and reception. Rather than viewing monumental painting as decoration, study looks at it as animated and reactive. Study covers period from Roman wall painting to medieval settings.
