COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This lecture course surveys major artistic movements and artists from the 1860s to the 1970s.

It begins by examining the roots of Modernism, considering 19th-century movements such as Impressionism and Symbolism; it proceeds to the early 20th-century avant-garde, exploring the legacies of Futurism, Cubism, Surrealism and abstraction; it concludes with major post-war modern art movements, including gestural abstraction, Pop, Conceptual Art, Land Art, and Performance Art.

In doing so, it takes into consideration the modes and agenda of differential modernisms that emerged around the world to open up a crucial discussion of multi-modernism.
