An art gallery is a unique space where you can serve as a cultural expert and find new artists to showcase” 

Throughout the millennia, art has been considered as an expressive manifestation that arises in a specific context and transmits a large part of the elements that determine a culture. Therefore, each era has a very marked and representative iconography. In the contemporary period, this is established with the creation of "isms", breaking with the models of beauty that dominated the era.
 
This laid the foundations for what today is known as "Contemporary Art", functioning as a source of inspiration for many artists who wish to make social criticism or express their feelings. Therefore, those specialized in the field must know each of these "isms", identify them in the work of other artists and use them to carry out an expert work that allows for selecting those works that can be part of a museum exhibition, be the object of study for the discipline or function as a source of inspiration in digital media.
 
Thus, this Postgraduate diploma in Contemporary Art will present an introduction to artistic expressions from the 18th century to the present day. For this, the work of various artists and the paradigms they created at the time of producing their works, such as Fauvism or Cubism, will be taken as a reference.
