"Cosmopolitan Modernisms" explores various moments in 20th-century
art where the encounter between different cultures has produced
something distinctive and revealing about the lived experience of
modernity. Exploring different geographical regions and time
periods, the nine essays in this anthology return to our
contemporary moment expanding the available knowledge about
modernism's cross-cultural past. Travelling from colonial India and
pre-war Germany, to post-1945 Brazil, and the Caribbean and African
American spaces of the black Atlantic diaspora, this unique
collection re-defines the cosmopolitan as a critical aspect of the
questioning attitude that artists adopted throughout the world. In
this book art historians from around the globe are brought together
by a critical dialogue that pushes beyond separate areas of study
to arrive at a more connective approach to the history of art.
Annotating Arta??s Histories series: Art history has been
transformed over the past 20 years by fresh questions about the
creative dynamics of cultural difference in the visual arts. The
four books in the Annotating Arta??s Histories series move beyond
identity-based discourse to explore key topics in modern art
history from the 1890s to the 1980s as a shared narrative of art
and culture now told from many different points of view. Drawing
together new research by 30 internationally respected writers, the
series builds upon the insights of visual culture and post-colonial
studies and is essential reading for anyone interested in global
perspectives on art and modernism.
