Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.
This seminar will offer a survey of film theory and history tailored for art historians, especially but not exclusively for modernists. The influence of cinema on twentieth-century aesthetics cannot be overstated, yet art historians routinely work without enough knowledge about the history of cinema or the grammar and rhetoric of its techniques. The history of montage, continuity editing, cinematography, and narrative form will be covered as we encounter major works from world cinema in dialogue with significant movements in modern art. German Expressionism, Surrealism, Italian Neorealism, Film Noir, Hollywood Auteurism will be among the major movements covered, as will the entry into the fine art world of moving image media.
