This course will explore the responses of artists to war and conflict since the Renaissance up to the present with a particular focus on the modern period. It examines a diverse range of Australian and international works, including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography and video, and considers their modes of presentation, dissemination, critical reception and impact. Ethical and social issues are discussed in depth, as are the relationships between commissioning organisations, artists and audiences. There is a strong focus throughout on object-based analysis with several classes being held at the Australian War Memorial, the National Gallery and the National Library.
