DESCRIPTION
The History of Art IV course will present the tendencies and developments in modern and contemporary art from a wider perspective. The course begins with lectures on the state of contemporary art world. Afterwards, the particular artists or movements will be placed within broader contexts and issues ranging from modes of perceiving art, aesthetics and the question of beauty, Freudian psychology and its impact on art or other psychological, sociological, philosophical and political contexts. The outcome of this course therefore is not only to present the chronological history of 20th century art, but to address major topics, which this art dealt with and which transcend single works of art or artistic movements.
