Painting and the Turn to Cultural Modernity in Spain

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of Spanish culture in the 1850s and early 1860s, this study examines a significant shift toward representation as a medium, diverging from traditional notions of modernity established by French developments. It challenges conventional theories by highlighting how Spain's artistic transformation contrasts with the established narrative of modernity, suggesting a unique path that redefines the relationship between art, representation, and cultural identity. This exploration of plural modernities offers fresh insights into the complexities of cultural history.
