ART 4013 - Global Approach to Socialist Art and Architecture

Global Approach to Socialist Art and Architecture examines the global diversity and complexity of socialist art, whether it served to develop social consciousness in the socialist state or in capitalist country. The course emphasizes the major political, economic, philosophical, and cultural changes in twentieth and twenty-first century history that triggered artists’ interest in socialism and state sponsored art and visual culture. Finally, the course examines how socialist art has been appropriated in post-socialist societies, within the framework of the culture of consumption.
