ARTH 368 - British Modernism

Institution:

Savannah College of Art and Design

Subject:

Description:

British art in the early half of the 20th century was predicated upon an ambivalent relationship with Modernism. The dominant English tradition in art, associated with romantic individualism, empiricism and the importance of literary and allegorical subject matter was at odds with the aims of European modernism. A corresponding issue is the way in which the discourse of British art has created a particular kind of division between figurative artists, often deemed eccentric and conservative, and those who engaged with the socio-political aspects of Continental modernism. Alternatively, this course traces the genealogy of British modernism thematically, discussing the significance of rural revivalism, formalism, futurism, primitivism, abstraction, and surrealism as central to its manifestation. Prerequisite: ARLH 208 or ARTH 207.
