Rockwell, Warhol, Hopper, Van Gogh, Munch, Manet, Gauguin, and Toulouse Lautrec all achieved fame by portraying the world around them. All became celebrities - if posthumously - in the process and embodied - if unwittingly - the link between high art and popular culture. This course takes a look at their lives and work and focuses on what makes these individuals and their artwork important and enduring. In other words, what makes a masterpiece a masterpiece? The course also puts these great artists in context with the music, literature, and events of their times. Along the way, you will learn the terminology you need to interpret great art.
