Description: This course introduces the major developments, key figures and works of early modernism, a trajectory whose beginnings are now generally located in the late-nineteenth century. Covering a period from roughly 1900 - 1945, we will trace Modernism's unfolding in the avant-garde practices of the first three decades of the 20th century, as well as the first anti-modernist critiques, ending with Modernism's eventual destruction in the authoritarian politics of the 1930s, World War II, and the Holocaust.
