AH 210 – VAN GOGH TO WARHOL
This course examines the foundations of modern painting in French Impressionism and its influence on other avant garde movements, including Expressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau, Surrealism and Dada, Cubism, De Stijl, and Italian Futurism.
These threads are followed to Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art in the US. Throughout the course connections are made with other media (sculpture and architecture) and other regions (UK and Russia). The course includes on-site sessions in Rome at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna and a field trip to the Musée d’Orsay and Centre Pompidou in Paris. It is highly recommended that students visit the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice on their own.
