Omschrijving	This course focuses on developments the visual arts went through from 1914 until the '80s. The course examines the paths taken by the arts through surrealism, abstract expressionism, pop art, minimal art, conceptual art, and other currents still. Students will become aware of the fact that during these developments, dominant artistic epicentres (as Paris and New York) are fragmented and multiplied, and that painting and sculpture are accompanied by other art forms, such as photography, participatory art and installation art.
