Institution:

SUNY College at Old Westbury

Subject:

Visual Arts

Description:

Survey of the major American and European artists and movements of the 20th century. Beginning with the work of Cezanne and its impact on the formation of Cubism and Futurism, the course emphasizes the contradictions and parallels in the various avant garde practices from 1910- 1945. The changing affiliations of artists are discussed; their political associations, as in the case of the Italian Futurist or the Russian Constructivists; or their aesthetic associations, as in the breakdown of modernists' ideas around 1925 and the general return to the Modernist avant garde positions around 1945 with the formation of the New York school. Offered periodically. Prerequisite: EC II placement.
