Description:

This course will examine the development of modern art in Europe and the United States, focusing on the period between 1880 and 1950. Starting with Post-Impressionism, we will trace the key movements in modern art (including Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism), and consider some of the more traditional forms against which they defined themselves. In the final weeks of the semester, we will also examine the concept of Postmodernism by looking at works produced between 1950 and the present. Norris/ Three Credits
