Prompted by globalisation in the present day, many have suggested that narratives of modern art focused on Western cities such as Paris and New York now seem provincial or inadequate. This course examines the rise of early to mid-twentieth century 'modern' art in a range of countries not usually considered in Western survey courses. In doing so it will ask what it means to study modernism in and outside the West in the present day, as well as whether it is still useful to think in terms of such overarching categories as 'modernism', the 'global', and the 'non-Western'.
