Institution: Scripps

Description: The seminar will examine in depth one movement, artist, or other selected topic within the art of the 20th century. Open to juniors and seniors. Topic changes each year. In spring 2022, this course examines the artistic movements of Dada and Surrealism from the beginning of World War I to the end of World War II, with stops in Zurich, Berlin, Cologne, New York, and Paris. It will explore how painters, photographers, filmmakers, and writers challenged aesthetic, political, and social conventions in such forms as the visual arts, poetry, and performance and will look at how Surrealism subsumed Dada, dominated Paris, and spread during World War II through a diaspora of artistic emigres to Latin America and the United States.
