FNAR 7383 - The Art and Culture of Spain
Credits: 3
Reviews the history of Spain, the sociopolitical and economic struggles that led to the Spanish Civil War, the subsequent 36-year authoritarian government of Francisco Franco (1892-1975), Spain’s modern connections to centuries-old values and customs, and Spain’s associations with ideologies outside of the country. Examines critic Julius Meier-Graefe, author Camilo José Cela, and modern painter El Greco. Focuses on what constitutes the Spanish identity and what defines modernity in the context of Spanish culture and art. Examines two painters who are relatively unknown outside of Spanish art historical circles: Ignacio Zuloaga (1870-1945) from the Basque Country and Santiago Rusiñol (1861-1931) from Catalonia. Students explore art and architecture from across centuries and use their own aesthetic awareness and critical skills in expressing their opinions based primarily on the visual (versus art historical) and affective aspects of objects and space. May be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: arts and cultural traditions; global studies; humanities.
