Exploring SPAINtings

This guide supports the coursework for Professor of Humanities Jennifer Chase's section of HUM2020: Exploring SPAINtings, which examines the contributions of Spanish culture to the world's great paintings.

Welcome!

Stories have always been “told” through art. A work of architecture, a dance, a sculpture, a performance, a symphony, or a painting may tell a story, or layers of several stories, that inform us about ourselves and help us connect in ways that are profound and not easily articulated. Since my first trip to Spain in graduate school many years ago, and still today, the wisdom and unspoken empathy conveyed through the brushes of these masters have deepened my understanding of the issues that affected those in the past and remain today. So, the idea for HUM 2020: Exploring SPAINtings was born. - Professor Jennifer Chase
