Students will look at a range of modern and modernist visual artefacts, from paintings and sculpture to the photograph, the illustrated magazine, the silent movie, the avant-garde journal and the animated film.
ARTT1105 will explore what we mean by modernity and its relationship to technology and mass culture. Itᅠwill examine the history of the avant-gardes from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1960s ᅠby locating artistic production in the context of new form of mechanical image production, the emergence of mass culture, the history of colonialism and the rise of totalitarianism in theᅠtwentieth century. We willᅠinvestigateᅠthe ways in which artists drew on popular culture and non-Western art to critique modernity and problematise conventional approaches to artistic production, gender norms,ᅠand subjective experience. Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Dada, Realism, and Abstract Expressionism will be some of the movements and trends discussed in the course.ᅠStudents will look atᅠa range of modern and modernist visual artefacts, including sculpture, painting, photography and film. Particular attention will be devoted to the development of modern art in non-Western countries such as Japan and China, and Latin America.
