FaVU-1SDU20Acad. year: 2024/2025
In Winter Semester 2024/2025, the seminar will be focused on the topic Fine arts and war conflicts in the 20th and 21st centuries. In the face of military conflicts, artistic creation offers a diverse range of responses, from straightforward propaganda and support for the war effort to complex and multi-perspective interpretations. In the lecture part, the course will present selected works of art that were created in the 20th century or during the 21st century in the context of war conflicts or in response to them. It will also focus on various aspects of them, media, ways of working, but also on their reception. The course will also include discussions with invited artists whose work is relevant to the subject, and consultations for the final practical work.
