Subject Description | A subject on the series of French avant-gardes over the half-century from 1885 to 1935. An examination of theories of avant-garde culture will lead to a focus on institutions (e.g. the Salon des indépendants), artists' groups (e.g. Nabis, Surrealists), individualists (e.g. Rousseau, Duchamp), and the dealer-critic system. Issues like the relation of art to politics, the body and sexuality, the discourse of abstraction, and the crisis of the art object will be considered in relation to new scholarship in areas like Pointillism, Cézanne's legacy, the Fauves, Cubism, collage, abstract sculpture, Dada, post-War realism, and Surrealist art and photography. |
Assessment | An essay of 2000 words and a classpaper of 2000 words. |
