Description
Dada and Surrealist art and literature from their origins in World War I to their interwar flowering and later influence. These two movements radicalized our modern understanding of painting, sculpture, collage, photography, and film, and paved the way for many subsequent developments down to Postmodernism. The course traces their philosophical and theoretical sources in idealism, materialism, and psychoanalysis. Classroom activities are supplemented by film screenings and museum visits, emphasizing direct contact with artworks in local museums.
