Course description
The course will consist in four lessons given by the teacher helped with audiovisual aid. By focusing in the first two lessons in the painters Picasso and Dali, the student will be introduced in the “-isms”: Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Dadaism, etc. A special and detailed study will be made on the Picasso’s Guernica, being one of the most representative paintings of the 20th century. The second part of the semester, lessons 3 and 4 will focus on the irruption of the new images coming from the “Movida Madrilena” (we will study Almodovar as filmmaker), and of the technology in architecture (Calatrava) and on the need of reshape old urban models, like in the case of Bilbao. Although the course is a natural transition from the course Spanish Contemporary Culture (I), it is not necessarily to have study this course to join the present one.
