Modernity in Italy (1860-1990)

The aim of this course is to study the artistic evolution of modernism in Italy beginning with the Macchiaioli and the impressionists. The course will then consider three subsequent stages: Giorgio de Chirico, Carlo Carr, G. Morandi (metaphysical painting, oneirism and Surrealism); the two phases of Futurism (Balla, Boccioni, Severini, Fillia, Depero, Prampolini); and finally the post-WWII stages, including the birth of Design in Italy, Bauhaus, the crisis of the 1970s, the anti-design of Memphis Milano.

Materials for this course will be provided by the instructor.
