AVCS 3710 - Modernism and the Wider World5 credit hours
Formerly - ARTH 3710
In this course students explore the concept of modernism in visual art. They read, talk and write about why the practices of art changed radically starting in the mid-nineteenth and into into the 20th century, and how the unequal power dynamics between genders and between the West, its colonies and other powers shaped these changes. It was in this period that European artists began to understand art as a tool for radically intervening in the social world around them. We could say that modern artists were the first “engaged artists” in the sense that we use that term now. This was a time of rapid change politically, technologically and culturally and artists were intensely involved with and responding to these changes.
