Positing the Cold War as a globalized conflict, fraught with different political ideologies and intercultural exchanges, this study asks how these historical circumstances shaped local debates in Beirut over artistic pedagogy, the social role of the artist, the aesthetics of form, and, ultimately, the development of a national art. Drawing on a range of archival material and taking an interdisciplinary approach that combines Art History, Middle Eastern, and Cold War studies, Sarah Rogers argues that the genealogies of modern art can never be understood as isolated, national histories, but rather that they participate in an ever contingent global modernism. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in art history, contemporary art, and Middle East studies"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Modernism (Art) |zLebanon |zBeirut. 650 0 Art |xPolitical aspects |zLebanon |zBeirut |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Art and society |zLebanon |zBeirut |xHistory |y20th century. 650 7 Art and society. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 Art |xPolitical aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00815309 650 7 Modernism (Art) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01024442 651 7 Lebanon |zBeirut. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01225260 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Rogers, Sarah A.
