Art of Central and Eastern Europe since 1950
19.99 €
In the history of art of the second half of the twentieth century, the Central and Eastern European region has the hybrid status of a vast borderland between the "West" - capitalist Europe, where the movement from neo-avant-garde to postmodernism was underway, and the USSR, where an unequal struggle was simmering between archaizing socialist realism and independent art that was reinventing itself in isolation. This border status explains both the lack of attention to the art of the Eastern Bloc countries and its diversity, which was formed in a constant dialog with the West and the USSR and gave rise to many distinctive phenomena, some of which remained in the shadows, while others developed in the post-perestroika period. Ruben and Maya Fowkes' book is one of the first attempts to summarize this experience. It introduces a large body of archival material and reviews the multidirectional artistic trends in East Germany, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, the former Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, constructing an art history of the region, without an understanding of which it is impossible to evaluate the current innovative art of these countries.
