Course Description
Spain’s major transition from a fascist regime to a democratic state in the 1970’s revolutionized artistic thought and expression. This course looks at a defining period in Spanish art, which to this day remains one of the country’s most interesting social movements.
From ephemeral art in the 70’s to neo-conceptual art in the 90’s and on to current trends in Spanish art, students are walked through the vivid world of Spain’s contemporary art scene. The trends and values established during this influential period are seen to have a lasting impression on the national psyche.
