AL 34402 - British Post-Modernist Art and Architecture

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Arts and Letters (Non-dept.)

Description:

This course will look at the evolution of post-modern thought and examine its development in the context of the late modern movement. Issues such as the classical revival in painting, the influence of pop on new figurative art, new wave Italian design and Memphis, and post-modern architecture will be seen against a backdrop of political and social change in the 1980s. The course will be taught in a series of slide lectures, followed up by a gallery visit, and a study trip to a recent building such as Richard Rogers' controversial Lloyd's of London (in the City) or James Stirling's Tate Gallery extension.
