Today in class we talked about post-modernism. I had the feeling that this class presented an intersection between itself and the 411 seminar course. It was interesting to talk about post-modernism and deconstruction in a different setting. We discussed how we don\u2019t subscribe to this eternal idea of \u201cprogress\u201d that has haunted art history for so long, not really. Deconstruction played a huge role in this because it introduces the revolutionary idea that immutable meaning simply no longer exists. Things are always changing as well as cannons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We talked about Judy Chicago\u2019s \u201cDinner Party\u201d and how it introduces feminist art unto the \u201cbig leagues\u201d. I think the way the course is taught, successfully attempts to reintroduce important female artists to the conversation all the way from the Renaissance to the contemporary era. So today, when we discussed how women have been under-appreciated in art history, my immediate reaction was slight confusion. This mistake of hindsight is very telling. At the end of the day, it is artworks like Chicago\u2019s \u201cDinner Party\u201d that allow me to perceive art history as heterogenous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
