Description:

Beginning with the naturalist tendencies of the Impressionists in the 1860s and 1870s, this course follows the progression of art toward constantly new methods of expression: expressionism, cubism, constructivism, surrealism, Dadaism, etc. The purpose is to come to an understanding of the change that occurred in the practice and theory of art during the first half of this century. The intention is to explore the foundations of modern art when art no longer mirrored reality, but took to analyzing its role in the construction of reality. (Isaak, offered alternate years)
