Modernism and Post-Modernism
The focus of this lecture-only course is the
emergence and development of modernism to
around 1970, and its legacy in post-modern and
contemporary art to the present day. It will
explore the expanding range of materials and
their applications ranging from traditional
painting and sculpture to video and installation,
considered in the context of the various
movements, such as cubism, surrealism,
minimalism, neo-expressionism and others but
also in terms of relevant issues and themes
which are not confined to specific movements.
While the course is predominantly concerned
with developments in Europe and North
America, it will also respond to the changing
perception of art, from a relatively insular
western view to a more global approach
embracing the art of other continents.
