FINE 4994/5994: Topics Seminar in Art History II (W: 12:30-3:15PM): This Art History seminar will focus on the art, design, literature, and legacy of the Russian Constructivists and the German Bauhaus in the years surrounding the two World Wars. We will discuss the utopian ideals and (perhaps inevitable) demise of these wildly influential groups of artists and intellectuals from the early 20th century.
