ArtHist.II:ModernArt 1900-1945
This second part of survey begins with the art of the 20th Century. It examines the many challenges to the definition and role of art that emerge from the major movements of the century such as Cubism, Surrealism, Dada, and Abstract Expressionism. The course traces the impact of photography, mass production, and politics on the role of art in our contemporary society. It also examines the split that occurs between artists who wish to make politically engaged art and artists who wish to make art for art's sake. Offered every year.
