History of Art, Painting, Architecture, Photography & Cinema Course - Module 3
The course—offered in three monthly modules (April, May, and June) of four sessions each—will discuss central issues in the history of modern art through iconic works by: Paul Cézanne; Louise Bourgeois; Le Corbusier; Marguerite Duras; Federico Fellini; Toyo Ito; Rem Koolhaas; Kazimir Malevich; Hannes Meyer; Aleksander Rodchenko; Arnold Schoenberg; and Giuseppe Terragni. Modules may be taken individually or sequentially. Using a critical and non-linear approach to the history of art and architecture, the sessions will explore paradigmatic points in the field during the 20th century. The diverse group of selected speakers (art historians, curators, architects, and psychoanalysts) provides, in itself, an overview of new art criticism and research in São Paulo.

Rearticulations, Artistic Redirections, and Psychisms
Wars, genocides, the consolidation of the culture industry, and new forms of communication and the spectacularization of life have impacted and produced significant changes in the mode of psychic and artistic perception-representation of life. Influenced by surrealism and psychoanalysis, artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Marguerite Duras brought—each in their own way—reflections on the body, the subject, and women in contemporary society to their visual and literary works.
