How can we reconfigure our picture of modern art after the
postcolonial turn without simply adding regional art histories to
the Eurocentric canon? Transmodern examines the global dimension of
modern art by tracing the crossroads of different modernisms in
Asia, Europe and the Americas. Featuring case studies in Indian
modernism, the Harlem Renaissance and post-war abstraction, it
demonstrates the significance of transcultural contacts between
artists from both sides of the colonial divide. The book argues for
the need to study non-western avant-gardes and Black avant-gardes
within the west as transmodern counter-currents to mainstream
modernism. It situates transcultural art practices from the 1920s
to the 1960s within the framework of anti-colonial movements and in
relation to contemporary transcultural thinking that challenged
colonial concepts of race and culture with notions of syncretism
and hybridity. -- .
