Annotation

Transformation of thought, culture and art in the Enlightenment and after the Great French Revolution. Long 19th century from classicism, empire and historical styles to romanticism, realism, symbolism and impressionism to secession.

The birth of modern art and architecture around 1900. Fauvism, expressionism, cubism and cubist architecture, abstraction, dada, art-deco, functionalism, social art, surrealism and their changes until 1945.

The aim is to understand the new meaning of 19th-century art for today, and, conversely, a reflected understanding of modern art and the transformation of its stimuli into contemporary art. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the changes of fine arts from the beginning of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century through cross-sectional topics.
