About

This Introduction to Non-Western Art History course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) aims to introduce an expanded model of art history that treats the art of native cultures and results of colonisation as indispensable to the discipline of Art history.

Overview

About the course

European art history is punctuated by the recurring influence of non-Western art; from the African masks that underpinned Cubism to the Chinese ornaments that populate early Impressionist paintings. Conversely, we can also find American traders in the Japanese ukiyo-e of the 19th Century, and Greek philosophers in the miniatures of Mughal India.

Art history means history without borders, and to do justice to the breadth of the topic means examining the fruitful, troubled and fluctuating dialogue 'East and West'. This Introduction to Non-Western Art History course is offered at the University of the Arts London (UAL).

Programme Structure

Over the course we will cover:
  • The arts of Western Africa and their intimate, living link to cultures
  • The multi-faith arts of India and their development through various kingdoms
  • The arts of China, both religious and secular, including the deeply philosophical practice of scholarly painting
  • Distinct Japanese schools of art, and how they relate to earlier Chinese practice
  • Colonial painting itself
