    Description
    Surveys and analyzes the global expansion, development, and transmission of art practices since 1945. Post World War II cultures produced rapid economic, technological and social changes. In turn, artists responded to these social changes by producing works of art that both comment on and absorb the cultural environments in various ways through individual visions and shared ideological perspectives. Examines art since 1945 by looking at the works and the ideas and technologies that inform them. Also examines the public and private spaces in which art is seen and understood.
