  1. Modernity, history, and politics in Czech art

    Filipová, Marta
    New York, NY : Routledge, an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, 2020.

    This book traces the influence of the changing political environment on Czech art, criticism, history, and theory between 1895 and 1939, looking beyond the avant-garde to the peripheries of modern art. The period is marked by radical political changes, the formation of national and regional identities, and the rise of modernism in Central Europe - specifically, the collapse of Austria-Hungary and the creation of the new democratic state of Czechoslovakia. Marta Filipova studies the way in which narratives of modern art were formed in a constant negotiation and dialogue between an effort to be international and a desire to remain authentically local.

  2. Poetics and politics in the art of Rudolf Baranik

    Craven, David, 1951-2012
    Atlantic Highlands, N.J. : Humanities Press, 1997.

    This study shows Baranik's use of "socialist formalism" since the 1950s and forces the reader to reconsider the standard accounts of US postwar art. The second half of the book is an anthology of Baranik's aphoristic essays on art and politics that have appeared in various art publications.In this first book-length study of Baranik's now-legendary artwork, author David Craven shows how Baranik's use of "socialist formalism" since the 1950s forces us to reconsider the standard accounts of U.S. post-war art. In paintings such as those that make up the "Napalm Elegy" series (1967-1974), Baranik used a language at once evocatively poetic and provocatively critical. His paintings have increasingly come to be considered among the most significant works of the New York School painting of the 1960s and 1970s, exemplifying what Theodor Adorno called "committed art". The second half of the book is an anthology of Baranik's aphoristic essays on art and politics, which appeared in various art world publications over the last four decades and have been written in conjunction with political involvements that led Lucy Lippard to call Baranik "an activist par excellence".
