Key Questions
|
|
|
|
- Why did the idea of
the 'irrational' and the 'unconscious' develop at the end of the 19th
century? How was this 'modern thought' expressed artistically?
- In responding to new
influences from within and without Europe, in what ways did 20th century
artists reject and/or modify established traditions of artistic
expressions in their search for new ways of expressions?
- How did 'modern
thought' influence and support the rise of fascism, communism and
totalitarianism in the 20th century?
- In what ways is
Conrad the bridge between 19th century and 20th century thought?
- What major changes
in artistic expression (art and music) accompanied the shift from the
more classically focused artistic movements of the 19th century to
'modern' art and music?
