Prerequisiti

The seminar is intended for PhD students in the Humanities Class, but can also be followed by undergraduate students as a logical supplement to the seminar intended for them. Given the subject matter, which spans artistic, political, ideological and cultural-historical culture, it is also intended for an audience not exclusively of art historians

Programma

Art and politics in the Italian 20th century from the end of the Second World War to the 1970s


The seminar will examine the most relevant episodes of the dialogue between Italian artists and some political ideas and facts from the end of World War II to the 1970s. The topics discussed in this part of the seminar will be: the political controversy between realist and abstract art; works of art in the years of industrial development and their political discussion; the work of Italian artists in the years (1968-1978) of contestation and terrorism
