ARTH-A 456: THE ARABESQUE FROM KANT TO COMICS (3 credits)

About

Uses the arabesque, an ornamental design of flowing lines and curvilinear motifs, as a vehicle to explore issues of media history and intermediality, social networks and cultural transfer, as well as the rise of new and non-traditional art forms between roughly 1750 and 1880, with an outlook into the arabesque's persistence in 20th and 21st-century art.
