This collection of articles explores a possible alternative beginning of Global Art History and World Art Studies, two methodologies that set a worldwide focus in the study of art around the 2000s. Teaching back to earlier efforts to conceive of the international community in a less Eurocentric way, the volume proposes a tentative link between socialist internationalism as a political and cultural diplomatic principle in the Soviet Block and some new approaches to art and cultural historiography introduced there. In the "Second World", universal art history or Weltkunstgeschichte were endorsed as frameworks for the teaching and writing of art history. Authors in this book interrogate whether "world art history" as practiced by socialist scholars had aspirations and achievements comparable to todays Global Art History and World Art Studies. Or was this knowledge production in an internationalist paradigm a mere foil for communist rhetoric, behind which severed cultural relations to the Western world could also be recommenced?

The First Russian Art Exhibition (Erste Russische Kunstausstellung), which opened at the Galerie van Diemen in Berlin on October 15, 1922, and later travelled to Amsterdam, introduced a broad Western audience to the most recent artistic developments in Russia. The extensive show more than a thousand works, including paintings, graphic works, sculptures, stage designs, architectural models, and works of porcelain was remarkably inclusive in its scope, which ranged from traditional figurative painting to the latest constructions of the Russian avant-garde. Coming on the heels of the Treaty of Rapallo, the exhibition was a first cultural step towards bilateral relations between two young and yet internationally isolated new states the Weimar Republic and the Russian Soviet Republic.Moving away from the narrow focus on the avant-garde, the volume presents new research that examines the exhibitions broader historical scope and cultural implications. The reception of the exhibition within artistic circles in Germany, Europe, the United States, and Japan in the 1920s is addressed, as well as the disposition of many of the works exhibited. The combination of longer, thematic essays and short features, along with reproductions of newly identified works and a selection of unpublished archival materials make this book valuable to both a scholarly and a general readership.

¿Te gusta el arte? Sea cual sea la respuesta, este libro es para ti.Es más que probable que seas de los que piensa que el arte clásico es tan bonito como aburrido. Y del arte contemporáneo mejor ni hablamos Todo parece secuestrado por una elite selecta y academica con la que no te identificas.Pero, en realidad, la historia del arte tiene mas que ver con tu vida y tus problemas de lo que te imaginas, y responde a muchos de los porques de la historia, pasada y presente. A veces al arte le da por ser refinado y exquisito, y se propone cumplir normas, igual que nosotros cuando empieza un nuevo año; pero otras veces explora caminos nuevos y se salta las reglas. Los grafitis, por ejemplo, ¡existen desde la epoca de los egipcios!Sara Rubayo, historiadora del arte y divulgadora cultural, nos propone en Te gusta el arte aunque no lo sepas una vision de la historia del arte que no conocias, en la que descubriras que, efectivamente, aunque todavia no lo sepas, te gusta el arte, y que su historia es tu historia.

Como escritoras brasileiras têm elaborado a ditadura e suas continuidades: um ensaio inédito de Regina Dalcastagnè (UnB); um olhar sociológico sobre a violência e o personalismo na história do Brasil

Un inclasificable elogio al acto creativo que aborda cuestiones tan heterogéneas como inconciliables: de las metopas del Partenón al toreo de Curro Romero.¿Para qué ojos fueron creadas las enormes siluetas de Nazca? ¿Por que los grandes creadores se empeñan en resolver aspectos de sus obras que ningun ser humano puede llegar a valorar? Con una mirada ironica, polemica y apasionada, el autor analiza este misterioso fenomeno a traves de las obras maestras de la arquitectura, la pintura, el cine, la jardineria, los toros y el teatro y deduce que sus autores actuaron como si sus trabajos pudiesen ser observados por un ser superior. Y concluye: en vista del sopor que el agnosticismo contemporaneo es capaz de producir, ¿no seria mejor hacer como si Dios existiese y pudiera juzgar nuestras obras?

A Salvador Dalí le divertía comparar al Greco con un caracol. Tusquets se divierte en este libro comparando cosas que no viene a cuento comparar: obras de arte, calendarios, museos, lupanares, la Ley Seca, el libre albedrio, correcciones visuales, el globo terraqueo, escaleras historicas, clientes legendarios, toreros atemorizados, luces y colores misteriosos, alimentos en conserva, arte abstracto, vagones tolerantes, duchas inteligentes, deportes desafortunados, jardines imperecederos... Este es un libro escrito por un arquitecto (¿o por un diseñador? ¿O por un pintor y escritor dominguero?), pero no es un libro para arquitectos, sino para lectores que gusten de seguir un razonamiento original sobre temas manidos, cargados de lugares comunes y de visiones politicamente correctas. Por trascendente que sea el asunto, el autor no engola la voz; prefiere la ironia y el humor para exponer evidencias que, aunque son de sentido comun, parecen insolitas y extravagantes. En resumen, un libro desbordante de talento, escrito desde una postura de radical independencia, y de lectura (y relectura) tan obligada como gozosa.
