Home: Painting Culture through a Sense of Place with Nancy Baker
Home is the place that anchors or defines you. Every culture develops a communal sense of home built in its distinctive landscape and its social development. Paintings chosen will draw from the landscape and genre tradition. This course will begin in the British Isles, seeing how painters from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales have shaped their regional visual images of a social sense of self. We’ll move on to Scandinavia to do the same. After looking at the American reassurance of the strength of home in the 1930s and Black artists who created their world sense at the same time, we’ll end with the Japanese way of blending figure and landscape to reveal their culture.
