The two-semester lecture cycle will present the turning points of the modern image in connection with wider social phenomena. We will understand the artistic and architectural work as part of a broad visual culture and changes of modern society, the so-called modernity. Where does modernity have its roots? We will follow the processes of the secularization of society and the emancipation of art and artistic attitudes in the 19th century, mass media and non-artistic influences, public space thickening visual communication. We do not understand the image as an illustration of a situation, but as a separate parallel or contradictory phenomenon with its own function and speech. What is the language of visual art? The first semester will be devoted to visual culture 1750–1900, the second to the 20th century.
