History of Art IV - Modern art until 1945 A series of lectures will acquaint students with basic development of visual art in international and national contexts from the middle of the nineteenth century until 1945. It captures transformations of art in the nineteenth century through the realistic movement to Impressionism, up to the post-Impressionist generation. It acquaints students with the onset of Modernism, decadent moods of the turn of the centuries, the early avant-garde and subsequently with development of modernist tendencies in the period between the two world wars. In addition to lectures providing a broader insight into the issues under review, the cycle also includes lectures focused on a more detailed analysis of creative attitudes assumed by selected key representatives of artistic streams being developed in the defined period.
