ART-HIST 464
Modern Art & the Grotesque
|
|
|
This course explores how the grotesque shaped the history, practice and theory of art in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The grotesque plays a major role in many modern styles, and its expressive possibilities encompass the capriccio, the carnivalesque and burlesque, the fantastic, and the abject and uncanny. Artists have incorporated the grotesque as a means to push beyond established boundaries, explore alternate modes of experience, and to challenge cultural and aesthetic conventions. Prerequisite: ART-HIST 303 or permission of the instructor.
