Arts Programs
Following World War II, the center of modern art made a definitive shift from Europe to the United States. Jackson Pollock and other abstract expressionists were followed by pop art, minimalism, postmodernism, and the pluralism of today. Delve into the range of postwar American and international art movements and learn about their formal concerns, vocabulary, and most influential artists. Examine technical innovations, social issues, and multicultural currents present in these movements and gain insights into key figures including Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Stuart Sherman, Frank Gehry, Jeff Koons, and Takashi Murakami.
A trip to a spring exhibition is included.
