The course will examine the major international developments from 19th-century post-impressionism and symbolism (Cézanne, Gauguin, van Gogh, Monet, Moreau, Redon, Rodin, Seurat, Toulouse-Lautrec; Ensor, Hodler, Minne, Munch) through the early 20th-century developments of art nouveau, Jugendstil, fauvism, cubism, futurism, and expressionism (Brancusi, Braque, Chagall, Delaunay, Delaunay-Terk, Derain, Léger, Matisse, Picasso, Rouault; Boccioni, Carrà; Beckmann, Barlach, Kandinsky, Kirchner, Klee, Klimt, Kokoschka, Kollwitz, Marc, Modersohn-Becker, Münter, Nolde, Schiele; Larionov, Goncharova, Malevich). Lectures will consider both key figures and artists' groups, colonies, publications, and exhibitions; involvement in the arts and crafts movements; relation to cultural, social, and political issues; and critical and popular response to the new art.
