Focusing primarily on Russia, then China, Vietnam, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia, the book demonstrates how each society adopted and adapted the Soviet example to make some of the most important imagery of recent history. Included is an examination of how the practice of Western art history, the nature of art history in Asia, and the forces of the Cold War have led to this influence being inadequately acknowledged across Asia and more widely. The book is relevant to those interested in art history, Asian studies, political history, and cultural history"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781032661377 ER -
