Overview
What you will study
Abstract art has provoked strong reactions since it emerged in the early twentieth century. It has been derided, reviled, banned and burned. But it has also become one of the dominant and most celebrated forms of artistic expression of our time.
This Making Sense of Abstraction - Roots, Context and Meaning course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art will be examining the early manifestations of European abstraction through the work of artists including Wassily Kandinsky, Hilma af Klint, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian as well as later permutations elsewhere in the world including works by Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Saloua Raouda Choucair and Ibrahim El-Salahi.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- the creation of these paintings
- what the artists may have intended
- the cultural and political context of their period
- how viewers responded to them
- the unexpected, shifting meanings ascribed to the paintings by politicians and ideologues as the twentieth century progressed
