Sources
This course has been created from a variety of art history books as well as catalogues on the particular artists. We make sure that for every topic, we combine canonic pieces with the work of artists that do not belong to the mainstream because of social class, ethnicity, etc. These artists' work now has been revisited by modern scholars with a more inclusive agenda.
