In 1850, the once great Ottoman Empire was in a state of advanced decline. Yet, the Ottomans maintained control over much of the Middle East with its diverse range of ethnic groups. The Turks managed to maintain a balance between Muslims, Christians and Jews. Attempts to modernise the Empire were restricted by its economic weakness. The trend continued up to WW1. By then, the former territory of Egypt was effectively under British control. The entry of the Ottoman Empire into the war accelerated its final collapse. It was during this war that the great imperial powers of Britain and France planned to fill the post-war political vacuum left after the departure of Ottoman forces. In 1916, this planning took shape with Sykes-Picot Agreement. Another key development came in 1917 with the Balfour Declaration which committed Britain the support the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. These developments coincided with the Arab Revolt which had begun in 1916.
In the post-war period, a new Middle East emerged with the formation of the states that make up the present region. These included the British influenced states of Iraq and Transjordan. The French were the dominant influence in Lebanon and Syria. These years would see the establishment of a secular state in Turkey and the victory of the House of Saud in the struggle for control over the Arabian Peninsula. In Palestine, these years were a time of growing community tension and the circumstances that led to the creation of Israel in 1948.

This course will trace over 100 years of the development of Western art though the various avant-garde movements that broke all the traditional rules of art creating what we call Modern Art. It is arguable that this change was made possible in many ways by the Impressionists, whose tranquil pleasant paintings hide a significant rebellion shook the art world forever. Starting in the 1850s and finishing in the 1950s, this course will explore a fascinating era where the endless possibilities of art were revealed to artists who created a greater variety of artistic expression than had been seen before. Important new styles that resulted in not just new ways to produce and look at art but also new ideas about the world. The artworks will be placed within the historical context with many artists responding to great societal changes from world wars or modern inventions like television. Different influential theoretical frameworks will be considered including feminism and psychoanalysis. All the important ‘isms’ will be discussed such as Cubism, Futurism and Abstract Expressionism. The last class will be a visit to the National Gallery of Ireland to follow the advent of Modernism through this impressive collection.
