From World War I to the close of the Cold War, from the advent of the movies to the electronic promiscuities of the World Wide Web, the unities of the modern world have dissolved into the multiplicities of postmodernity. The ways that art has intersected with the momentous shifts in life will be considered. In the utopian dreams of Constructivism, philosophical reveries of Cubism, subversions of Dada, and introversions of Surrealism and Expressionism, and in the low-brow allusion of Pop Art, unboundedness of Performance Art, and media-mimicking interventions of the 1990s, artists have probed the meaning of human experience and action in the 20th century.
