In this three-session seminar, students will visit the Museum’s collection of Latin American art and learn about Latin America’s rich culture in art and its masters. In each session, we will visit different galleries across the Museum’s Susan and Fayez S. Sarofim Campus, taking advantage of curatorial criteria and the sociopolitical-cultural panorama, as well as discussing the artistic movements that combine, discourse, or contrast diverse artistic expressions that echo these trailblazing manifestations. Students will learn about manifestos and needs that allowed these new visual expressions, and their influences on established local Latin artists. Students will contemplate a comprehensive analysis regarding subject matter, forms, technique, media, and materials.
