Course description
Beginning with the Great Depression and ending with the outbreak of World War II, the 1930s was a decade marked by social and technical change, and political unrest.
From Grant Wood's paintings of rural America to John Heartfield's political photomontages, artists in North America and Europe responded to this changing environment in a variety of ways.
Focusing on a wide range of artists, architects and photographers the course will include the following: American Scene Painting, modern architecture and the influence of the Bauhaus, British art, art of the Spanish Civil War, Socialist Realism, Surrealism and documentary photography.
