This course is a survey of major artists, styles, and movements in European and American art and architecture from the 15th century to the present. This overview will revolve around crucial moments in the history of art, the formation of different aesthetics and the politics of representation. We will start by discovering the invention of linear perspective during the Renaissance and we will continue exploring the sensorial appeal of Baroque art, the serene presence of Neoclassical art and architecture, the long list of groundbreaking “-isms” (Cubism, Constructivism, Dadaism, Surrealism, etc.) that defined the Modern art era era or the joyful, anarchic and “tasteless” aesthetics of postmodernity.
