Caspar Fairhall beg

Modern art is still perplexing, even baffling, for most people. What is abstract art? How do you make sense of a Cubist painting, and how can a urinal or a snow shovel be considered art? The answers are simpler than you might imagine. This course offers a gentle and conversational introduction to visual art from 1900 onwards. No prior knowledge required, just an open and curious mind. Handouts provided.
