Publisher Synopsis
Announcing a New SeriesThe aim of Annotating Art's Histories is to produce a wide-ranging historical understanding of cross-cultural interaction in the visual arts. The books in the series will build upon the interdisciplinary insights of visual studies and post-colonial studies, examining the works of non-Western artists and artists from minority backgrounds alongside Western art movements of the twentieth century. The goal is to develop knowledge of the dynamic interplay of cultural differences and modern art and to encourage the integration of cultural diversity into the study of art history. Read more...
