1 Units

The industrial revolution transformed France into an urban country. From then on urban life became a major concern for political leaders and a vast source of inspiration for artists. Through readings by Zola, Gide, Breton, Camus, Sartre and Butor, discussions of paintings by Impressionists, Cubists and other modern painters and studies of architectural achievements, students will develop a sense of the evolution of the urbanization process and an understanding of the relationship between literature, art and the prevailing political climate.
