ARTH 3251 - Dada & Surrealism Art History

Institution:

Georgia Southern University

Subject:

ARTH Art History

Description:

This course will examine the profound and lasting contributions made by Dada & Surrealist artists as well as other revolutionary modernists of the early 20th century who sought to escape the traditional and rational in art and thought. An analysis of topics (dada and performance; neo-dada; dada and surrealsit women; surrealism and photography; dada, surrealism and ethnography; collage; and the impact of surrealism in the United States) will be analyzed to define rogressive ideas, which led to the dismantling of previous standards and the rise of an anti-art spirit, which continues today in various guises. Primary documents will be consulted regularly in order to provide a wider appreciation of the variety of Dada and Surrealist media (e.g. literature, film, theater, typography). The format for this course is lecture with discussion.
