*Looking Back: The Western Tradition*  
Jeffrey Hamburger, Joseph Koerner  
Tuesday/Thursday, 10-11:30am  
The history of western art, like any story, has a plot (Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, etc.), protagonists (Michelangelo, Picasso, Pollock), and a climax (Modern Art). By looking backward instead of forward, beginning with contemporary works and ending in the Middle Ages, this **introduction to western art** considers how the past continuously informs an ever-changing present. Combining the canonical with the critical, this course introduces both the western tradition and the practice of art history itself.
