Italian Modern Art in the Age of Fascism

Zusatztext "The monograph is undoubtedly a major contribution to histories of European modernism. White adeptly demonstrates that Italian modern art’s relation to fascism was multi-faceted and inconsistent, endorsing and eschewing fascist ideology in equal measure… Additionally, White draws attention through his powerful visual analyses to the reality that the pictorial language of a given historical moment is not always in lockstep with its art critical vocabulary." --RACAR: Revue d'Art Canadienne / Canadian Art Review"[a] remarkably interesting work and brilliant contribution showing… how political events and ruling regimes did and do influence a fine art."--West Bohemian Historical Review Informationen zum Autor Anthony White is Senior Lecturer in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
