This class meets at our Court Street location
Post-war geopolitics had a massive impact on cultural production in the 1950s and 60s, and the ramifications of that impact are still being felt today.
In this course, we'll look at how political considerations influenced artistic trends in Europe (and America, by extension) in the early years of the Cold War. Attention will be given to music, visual art, and graphic design.
