APPROACH

This programme looks at art as a key for the interpretation of contemporary phenomena: the language contexts and scopes of art, the manipulation and consumption of images from the early stages of the industrial era to the technology and communication media development that characterize the contemporary scenario.

The programme consists of one single module, which grants 6 CFA credits.

By the end of the programme, successful students will be able to:

• Identify the historical avant-gardes

• Decode the language of modern art

• Put the 20th century artistic currents into the right context

• Understanding of the political and social context

• Analysis of the historical and chronological patterns

• Study of the 20th century debates and conflicts
