Need Help Choosing a Modernism/Modernity" intellectual history research topic

by [deleted]

Hello! The title pretty much sums it up and I could really use some help. What should I write about? It could be pretty much anything, but my limit is 10 pages double spaced.

I really like the work of Gustav Klimt and he has appeared in my professor's lectures several times, but how could I spin that into a research topic. What do you guys think? Could I focus in on an achievement or particular piece he did? Compare him to someone else? I am interested in your thoughts and would be willing to write about just about anything so long as it is not too difficult to research!

Thank you for your help!

If you are going to talk about intellectual history then shouldn't you be focusing on the ideas rather than some sort of comparison? What the the general gist that you are trying to research? If you want something simple then the most straightforward approach would be to focus on his ideas, and demonstrate how these ideas were conveyed. In terms of picking who and having an argument, that will be, of course, down to you.
