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?
