Overview
This module can only be taken by students wishing to major in art history and in conjunction with the Modernism lecture module AH20030.The Modernism Seminar Series will consider some of the most important themes of Modernism in visual art and augment the lecture series Modernism. Classes are based on group participation through detailed analysis of key works of art, texts and concepts pertaining to the evolution of modernism in the twentieth century. These include primitivism, the role of the public manifesto and the relationship between modernist art and the gallery space. Students are encouraged to develop a keen understanding of the social and intellectual background to modernism by reference to the work of major thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Clement Greenberg.
