Course description
A canon is a group of works that are considered to be high quality and representative of a field. In the art world, some artists and artworks are considered to be ‘greater’ or ‘more important’ than others. But how are these judgements made, and by whom? How can they change over time? We will discuss these questions, looking at a range of practical examples, and consider some of the issues – for example in terms of exclusivity and exclusion – that they raise.
