New
Starting with Cubism, Surrealism and Abstraction, this course on modern art will examine the work of pioneering and controversial artists such as Picasso, Braque and Dali before moving across to the American art scene and the work of Pollock and Rothko. You will look at Pop Art in Britain and the US, as well as contemporary developments such as installation art.
Mountains swathed in mist, great chasms, Gothic ruins and shipwrecks; this is the stuff of Romanticism, a movement that swept across Europe in the 18th century.
This is one of three courses (The Renaissance, French Impressionists and Modern Art) covering the history of art across three terms. Each course is self-contained and courses may be taken consecutively or individually in any order.
