Description:

PQ: Consent of instructor. This survey class focuses on issues that are central or unique to the twentieth century (e.g., abstraction, traditional and new media, art and politics, mass produced design and culture). We consider different conceptions of modern art that emerged during this period (e.g., modernism, avant-garde, postmodernism) and the ways in which such understandings overlapped or differed, actively fostered exchange, and rejected or influenced one another. Artists include Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, John Heartfield, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, and Cindy Sherman. Visits to local collections, such as the Smart Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago, required. C. Mehring. Autumn.
