ARTH 198 - Introduction to Modern Art

This course provides a survey of modern art, from its origins during the French Revolution to WWII. We look in depth at key artists and ideas that shaped the development of modern art in the West. Our approach will prioritize the political context and ideological impact of a select group of paintings and sculpture. Although our focus will be on Europe, we also consider how artists found inspiration in other cultures and events beyond their immediate borders.
