| Summary: | "Was Socialist Realism Global? Modernism, Soc-Modernism, Socially Engaged Figuration seeks new perspectives both on socialist realism in a strict sense and on aspects of politically and socially engaged art of the twentieth century that employed broadly understood figuration. Contributors to the volume shed light on the genealogy of figuration, demonstrating its continuity, evolution, and transformation in Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Soviet Russia prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, reflecting on the ties between politics, nationalism, realism, and modernism. They also relate socialist art and socialist realism from Europe (both Western and Eastern) to analogous artistic practices in China, Ethiopia, Mexico, Vietnam, and beyond."--Page 4 of cover. |
