Art History & Cultural Policy - The Modern World 1848-1914
Art and the Modern World, 1848 to 1914 examines the key developments in Western art from 1848 to the outbreak of World War One in 1914. This period saw the beginnings of modern art, when traditional practices of making and viewing art were challenged. Industrialisation brought rapid social changes that impacted dramatically on how the world was experienced and understood.

The module is organised in three sections:
1) Western European modernism, following the traditional narratives of modernisation, Industrial Revolution, and associated artistic breakthroughs;
2) Art and Society, exploring connections between art and categories such as gender, sexuality, ecology, and science and medicine in European society;
3) Decentring Western Europe, focusing on non-Western European modernisms, as well as the impact of colonisation and imperialism on art marking during the examined period.
