DESCRIPTION

Based on a framework of art and architectural concepts, the course emphasis is placed on training to look at, analyze and appreciate modern art and architecture, whenever it is possible, through direct contact in Madrid streets and museum. Starting with a quick view on the classical roots of European arts, the syllabus pays particular attention to the outbreak of «Avant-garde» movements and the crystalization of Modern Art in Europe (1880-1945), its internationalization from its new centre in the USA (1945-1970) and its rich diversity in our globalised world. Though the course focusses on modern international art, particular emphasis will be placed on the works of Gaudí, Picasso, Dalí, Miró, and other outstanding Spanish artists and architects.

Course work consists of lectures and discussions, always based on pictures, DVDs and, very often, on-site visits, in which students? presentations will have a key role. Students will be asked to prepare assignments and make presentations on outstanding artists and selected works of art and buildings, some of which will be visited and studied ?in situ? during the organised visits to museums and tours in Madrid, but also taking advantage of private journeys to other Spanish and European cities.
