Module description

The module will examine European Art c.1880 - c.1940 paying particular attention to the artistic development of the British painter Walter Richard Sickert and his relationship to European painting and illustration. It will also broadly explore the various artistic movements and new developments (i.e. Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and the Avant-Garde) during this period, particularly in relation to Sickert and British art but also within European art as a whole. The module will also explore relevant themes and subjects developed by these movements and will explore a broad range of critical and theoretical texts, written both by Sickert and by a number of key figures during this period.
