VISA 1800O - Sources of Contemporary Art

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

The Modern Art movement, based on rejecting tradition and breaking rules, found itself supplanted by new artistic styles, cultural values, and sources of support just before the end of the 20th century, thus yielding to what has become known as Postmodernism. This course will examine the radical impulse that continues to drive the artists and art work of this period, looking closely at ways "tradition" and "modern" are transgressed to form new attitudes, views, and visual perspectives. Students will be asked to define Postmodernism in a variety of interdisciplinary formats. This class will satisfy VA concentration requirement for History of Contemporary Art. Restricted to 20 concentrators.
