Graduate Seminar: Primitivism (3) The history and development of European and American twentieth-century art have been influenced in a number of ways by the "discovery" of "Primitive art" and the often associated, notions of "Primitivism." The terms "Primitivism" and "Primitive art" have now become problematic and are rarely used because of such issues as colonialism, racism, and the continued economic disparities between the so-called "Developed" and "Third" Worlds. The terminology, however, was frequently used throughout the twentieth century and so is retained for our purposes to trace the historic development and use of these terms, rather than implying that the art referred to was either crude or unsophisticated. This seminar examines how fascinations with all things "Primitive" have shaped Western art, revealing more about the Western Imagination than the "Other".
