Post-World War II visual social commentary will also be featured. Such artists as George Tooker, Paul Cadmus, George Segal, Duane Hanson, Leon Golub, Barbara Kruger, Elizabeth Catlett, Charles White, Faith Ringgold, and others will be shown. Themes include the cold war, bureaucracy, racial injustice, sexism and patriarchy, social protest and agitation, and many related issues of the recent past and present, including the expression of visual art that artists created during the widespread protests in 2020 following the murder of African American George Floyd. A major feature of the course will include examples from the African American artistic tradition, because that tradition regularly focuses on historical and contemporary racism in America, making it a fundamental feature of visual social commentary.
