Course content
The academic content of the course will vary from semester to semester. The course is an in-depth course in a specific topic in recent art, from Romanticism to the present day. The course can shed light on a specific era or an artistic movement in visual art and/or architecture (eg the landscape art of Romanticism, the social images of Realism or the architecture of Postmodernism) or be thematically limited (eg political caricatures, gender perspectives in art). Through examination of different types of work, students will get an introduction to current theory and method.
