DESCRIPTION
During the 19th century, Paris was the center of artistic activity. A shift occurred in the early 20th century which displaced that center to the south. This course investigates the work of three international artists with distinct cultural roots ?Picasso, Matisse, and Dalí? in relation to Mediterranean myth and culture, within the wider framework of European art movements. In each case, the acceptance and/or rejection of tradition, the interaction with French art and artists, and personal experience will be discussed. The role of both outside stimuli (war, relationships) and inner forces (memory, imagination) will be examined as well.
