Despite the Iron Curtain and political boundaries, a vibrant exchange of artistic ideas and products united Europe's avant-garde, creating a remarkable cultural landscape. The geographic boundaries of these exchanges remain to be fully defined, and the relationship between (neo)avant-garde tendencies and officially sanctioned socialist realism is a key aspect of the study. The literature on the art of Eastern Europe offers valuable insights into this cultural space, but often through the lens of stereotypes and national preoccupations. By examining artworks, analyzing art-related writings, observing artistic evolution, and considering the influence of political authorities, art dealers, and art critics, the essays in Art beyond Borders present a transnational history of arts in the Soviet satellite countries during the post-war period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 740g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 230 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789633860458\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44138566549754,"sku":"9789633860458","price":80.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1680257528062_book.jpg?v=1680275155","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/art-beyond-borders-artistic-exchange-in-communist-europe-19451989-9789633860458","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
