Art and War: Artistic Movements in the 20th Century

Thursday, November 19, 2015 6:30 - 8 pm Kirkland Arts Center Gallery

Delve into the historical context and formal properties of three art movements that addressed the tumultuous 20th century. First, we will analyze two responses to the destruction and loss suffered during World War I, when artists asked important questions about mankind’s ability to trust their own logic and reason. Second, we will discuss how the United States’ involvement in Vietnam and the Cold War in the 1960s may have contributed to the emergence of Minimalism.
