Is it for you? This is an intermediate/advanced class, so it is most appropriate for students who have taken at least one HAA or AFVS course that covered art of the 20th century. If you have never taken an HAA or AFVS class this might not be the ideal entry point, but we can discuss the possibility. Contact Prof. Lambert-Beatty with questions.
