ARTH 331 - Latin American Art of the 20th Century

Institution:

St Mary's College of Maryland

Subject:

Description:

A study of the visual qualities, symbolism, cultural contexts and conceptual frameworks of major stylistic movements in 20th century Latin America. Countries considered may include Argentina, Brazil, Cuba and Mexico, among others. Nineteenth-century Academic Art provides the starting point for understanding the emergence of Modernismo at the turn of the 20th century. The course then explores Modernismo as both a visual art style and an overarching socio-cultural theory that defined the Latin American avant-garde through mid-century. This class also considers the diverse range of abstract art produced in post-modern Latin America as well as contemporary Latin American art produced in the early the 21st century. Slide presentations, lectures and discussion. Prerequisite: ARTH 1 00, 220, 250, ART 1 05, or consent of instructor.
