Description:

In many ways, photography is considered to be the medium that most perfectly represents the aims and principles of modernism. This seminar considers European and American photography in its "high modernist" era (1900-1940) as medium shaped by the key texts and events of modernism, such as the writings of Bergson, Freud, and Marx, and by World War I. The course investigates some of the lesser-known figures in photography in addition to the monoliths of the era, including Moholy-Nagy and Stieglitz. Prerequisite: Photography 101.
