great professor, too chill, but really makes you learn and think through esoteric readings and well-explained lectures and discussions

He's brilliant and I don't think he realizes it. Listening to him while fully focused is an absolute pleasure. His lectures are often dense and sophisticated, becoming hard to follow for non-art history experienced students. Graded mainly on 3 tests which require memorization of 40+ works each. If you like art and analysis, take it.

Took his course on Modernist art, which is not his specialty but I never would have known. The course went from the beginnings of impressionism to the start of abstract expressionism with amazing lectures. Three exams with memorization of 50 artworks each and comparison essays. Very doable course that lets you focus on learning about modernism.

I personally like Prof. Halevy. very chilled teacher. But his lecture is not very easy to understand and some students sleep in his class. TA grades everything so idk whether he is a tough grader or not. btw he seems do not have habit to give feedback in any papers.
