Italian avant-garde and European modernism 1910-1920: the consequences of the First World War (PhD)
Prerequisiti
Lessons are addressed to PhD students but can also be usefully attended by undergraduate students
Programma
The First World War acted in two conflicting ways in European art: it accentuated the rediscovery of national artistic tradition and, at the same time, accelerated the propagation of the visual idioms of the international avant-garde. The course aims to investigate these two processes by following the work of some Italian artists (Giorgio de Chirico, Carlo Carrà, Mario Sironi) from 1915 to 1920.
Obiettivi formativi
The main educational objective of the course is to interpret the work of some Italian artists during the years of the First World War (and in the immediate aftermath of its conclusion) through an in-depth analysis of their visual language choices in relation to the changed cultural and political scenario of Italy and Europe.
Riferimenti bibliografici
