HART283 Russian Modernism 3 cr.

A survey of modern art and architecture in Russia
from the beginning of the twentieth
century. The course will explore issues of
national identity and cultural autonomy that
informed the emergence of modernism; the
postcolonial relationship to European art; the
tension between nationalism and internationalism,
and how the experiences of exile and diaspora
affect these feelings and the artistic
expressions
thereof; how artists respond to forces such as
imperialism, authoritarianism, and revolution;
and
how globalizing and transnational social,
economic
and political processes call into question the
notion of Latin American art. (Formerly
“Twentieth Century Russian Art”)
