| Course Description | The useful arts of eighteenth-century France – furniture, interior decoration, clothing etc.. -- have always been considered among the masterpieces of decorative arts history. A revolution in scholarship has made it possible to understand how these objects inaugurated some of modernity’s key values: individualism, private home life, consumer culture, women’s involvement in the arts, global capitalism, and an orientalist fascination with the Near and Far Easts. Several class sessions will take place in the great decorative arts galleries of the Metropolitan Museum and the Frick Collection, where students will give presentations on individual objects. |
