The Political Aesthetics of the Armenian Avant-Garde

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the late-Soviet and post-Soviet art movements in Armenia, this study examines the significant social, political, and cultural changes from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. It is the first English-language exploration of contemporary Armenian art, highlighting its development as a response to and divergence from Socialist Realism and National Modernism. The book offers insights into how these artistic expressions reflect the broader transformations in Armenian society during this pivotal period.
