An unprecedented survey of artists in exile from the 19th century
through the present day, with notable attention to Asian, Latin
American, African American, and female artists This timely book
offers a wide-ranging and beautifully illustrated study of exiled
artists from the 19th century through the present day, with notable
attention to individuals who have often been relegated to the
margins of publications on exile in art history. The artworks
featured here, including photography, paintings, drawings, prints,
and sculpture, present an expanded view of the conditions of
exile-forced or voluntary-as an agent for both trauma and
ingenuity. The introduction outlines the history and perception of
exile in art over the past 200 years, and the book's four sections
explore its aesthetic impact through the themes of home and
mobility, nostalgia, transfer and adjustment, and identity. Essays
and catalogue entries in each section showcase diverse artists,
including not only European ones-like Jacques-Louis David, Paul
Gauguin, George Grosz, and Kurt Schwitters-but also female, African
American, East Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern artists,
such as Elizabeth Catlett, Harold Cousins, Mona Hatoum, Lotte
Jacobi, An-My Le, Matta, Ana Mendieta, Abelardo Morell, Mu Xin, and
Shirin Neshat. Distributed for the Yale University Art Gallery
