Modern Art: History and Theory

X441 (2 semester units in Art History)

The European/American modernist revolution that began in the late nineteenth century and continued into the twentieth subverted traditional art and laid the groundwork for contemporary art. Through illustrated lectures and class discussions you examine important artworks from the Romantic period through the Pop art era. You also explore the cultural conditions that produced these works—including the lives of the artists—and investigate the critical/theoretical writing that shaped the aesthetic discourse and subsequent art history.
