CHH568 History of Art 3: Modernism in War and Peace 1914-1945
£111.00
Sickened by the industrialised slaughter of WWI, German war veteran and architect Walter Gropius undertook to harness art and technology to improve living conditions for all. In 1919 he launched the Bauhaus art and design school in Weimar. The Bauhaus indeed improved aspects of all our lives, but its influence is not without criticism. Meanwhile, within fine art, Matisse and Picasso were still vying for leadership, and Surrealists were mining the ideas of Freud and Jung in ways both shockingly new and as old as man himself. Topic discussions are supported by slides and online study notes and recordings.
