Section Information for Spring 2011

Classifying twentieth-century art in geo-political terms (i.e. European, American/Latin American, Asian art) obscures the impact of global interchange on artistic production. This course proposes an alternative vision. In the first half of the twentieth-century, European and Latin American artists cultivated inventive means for both the exploration of international currents and the transmission of their own ideas. Forms of intellectual diffusion, such as manifestos, journals, extended international sojourns, interactions with visiting artists or intellectuals, the formation of collections, the circulation of exhibitions, the creation of exhibition spaces, and the foundation of groups, became sites of critical dialogue, serving to generate a sense of interconnectedness or to counteract geographic separation. This course explores these forms of intellectual diffusion through case studies of the artists who contributed to their formation.
