In this class, we will not be reading Some reference books that you can consult if you need background reading canonical text book type of material but we will be focusing on close reading of specific bodies of material or specific art historical problems to get a good crosssection of the disciplinary debates.

Ömür’s research bibliography on JIAAW wiki is always helpful (although not updated in recent years): http://proteus.brown.edu/harmansah/4971

You have access to several study collections on ArtSTOR, a massive image database that Brown Libraries are subscribed to:
