BCLA 3011 - The Birth of Modern Art: Matisse, Picasso, Dalí (3 Cr.) Arts/Humanities

Course description

The work of these three international artists with distinct cultural roots is explored on an individual basis within the wider framework of European art movements. In each case, we will study the acceptance and/or rejection of tradition, the interaction with French art and artists, and personal experience. We will also pay attention to the role of both outside stimuli (war, relationships) and inner forces (memory, imagination). The course will include course related excursions to the Picasso Museum, the MNAC (Catalan National Museum of Art) as well as a trip to the Dalí Theatre Museum in Figueres.
