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).
