Section Info: This course examines the ways in which artists re-conceived how art should look and function in response to the many changes -- social, political, and technological -- that accompanied the modernization of Europe from 1880 to 1940. Topics to be covered include the avant-garde, the relationship between modernism and "primitivism," the advent of pure abstraction, art's responses to the political upheavals of World War I and the Russian Revolution, the birth of modern design, and the politics of reality and representation. Although primarily focused in Europe, the course will also treat related modern movements in Japan, Mexico, and the United States.
