Transmodern : An Art History of Contact, 1920-60 Hardback
by Christian Kravagna
Part of the Rethinking Art's Histories series
Hardback
Description
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. -- .
