These practices are referred to, under different monikers, as high modernism, mid-century modernism, and more recently as global modernisms. Over the next three months we will explore variants of global modernism by exploring different movements and styles such as: Socialist Realism, Zaria School, Neo-Constructivism, Gutai, Cannibalist Aesthetic, Brutalism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Indigenous modernism, and other ideas and movements in the post WWII international context. We will pay special attention to how the canon of Western art was challenged by new movements and ideas coming from non-Western nations and how those ideas led to major transformations of the late 20th century. We will examine a variety of aesthetic practices including experimental and emerging new media works, along with political and social contexts (decolonization movements, Indigenous movements, Cold War) that influenced them. Among ideas of artistic media and themes we will also explore art institutions and how they shaped ideas of modernism and after. The course takes a chronological and thematic approach to the era covered and will provide a basis for studying contemporary art]]> 2021-01-04 20:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/UniversityofWaterlooARTHISTORY/9uwkzzyhq3ly8k9q/wish/1053618727 UniversityofWaterlooARTHISTORY https://padlet.com/UniversityofWaterlooARTHISTORY/9uwkzzyhq3ly8k9q/wish/2420036202 2022-12-14 02:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/UniversityofWaterlooARTHISTORY/9uwkzzyhq3ly8k9q/wish/2420036202
