Fine Arts of 20th century 2

Subject guarantor:

Name of lecturer(s):

Tomáš POSPISZYL

Learning outcomes of the course unit:

The aim of the lectures, divided into 4 semester blocks, is to introduce students to the development of the broadly defined visual culture from the second half of the 19th century to today. The presentation will not be limited to only a listing or comparison of individual artists or art directions but will focus on a wider societal-historical context of the generation of modern art including relationships with other related artistic disciplines. Individual, chronologically covered topics will present the social changes of the audience and artists, marking the relationship between technological developments and art media and approach the modern artistic scene of the globalized world. Attention will be given to the historically developing theories of modernism and potential methodlogical approaches to 20th century culture. The independent blocks will be devoted to important persons in art over the last 150 years as well as topics from the world of mass culture in which the dynamics of cultural productions of our civilizaton with be defined.
