Introducing Modern Western Art: Movements and Artists
Introducing Modern Western Art: Movements and Artists. Instructor: Prof. Soumik Nandy Majumdar, Department of History of Art, IIT Kanpur. The developments in modern western art challenged not only the traditional concepts of art but it also challenged our visual perception. Through a series of art movements led by extremely innovative artists, modern art redefined itself continuously in terms of idea, medium, technique and social relevance. It changed the paradigm of art once and for all. A chronological study of modern western art highlighting a few significant artists and their contributions thus unfolds a fascinating story of art that left a deep impact on global culture.
