ARTH 41.02 Twentieth Century Art in Europe, 1900-1945

The rapid changes of the first half of the twentieth century inspired artistic avant-gardes in France, Germany, Italy and Russia. We will examine “avant-garde” artistic practice as a cultural phenomenon, studying individual artists and their associated movements (Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism, Dad, Surrealism) through themes such as artistic responses to mass culture; new forms of technology; representations of sexual, racial, and class identity; and the relationship between art, nationalism, war and revolution.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
