The Avant-Garde:
This course examines the theory and practice of four defining avant-garde movements between the two world wars which sought to create “a revolution of the mind”: Futurism, Expressionism, Dada and Surrealism redefined the style and politics of art. We read manifestoes, poetry, an expressionist play, a surrealist novel, see an expressionist film and look at paintings, photomontages, collages, found objects, which defy reality; and analyze the style and politics of the groups. Works include Futurist, Dada and Surrealist Manifestoes, the expressionist play, The Son and the expressionist film, Metropolis, the surrealist novel, Nadja, and poetry and art reflective of the movements and their impact worldwide.
