Learning Object: A history of modern art in 73 lectures

TitleA history of modern art in 73 lectures
Authors
AbstractThis sequence of 73 lectures offers a history of modern and contemporary art from the late nineteenth century to the present day. The lectures were originally given to students in the Department of Fine Arts, University of Hong Kong and are presented here as sound files with data on screen identifying the images being discussed. For copyright reasons no images are presented in this video version of the lectures. The lectures are from a sequence of three linked courses, which cover the period from around 1880 to the present day. Each course is self-contained but together they add up to a larger whole. The chronological sequence of the courses is: Vision in Crisis (c. 1880 - 1914), Modernity and its Discontents (c. 1914 - 1945), and Towards the Global (c. 1945 - now). In addition there is a short audio introduction to the whole sequence, recorded for this online version, which users are recommended to start with. The consolidated list of lectures which follows below helps give an overview of their individual content, and enables users to find specific lectures that might cover topics they have a particular interest in. Sometimes a topic will be treated over several lectures, in part because sound files often present a two hour session as two one hour segments. Lectures have a number identifying their place within each individual course, but they have also been given a number to indicate their place within the master sequence of the whole.
