While the work of diverse, major Egyptian artists during this era may have appeared to be secular, she argues, it reflected the subtle but essential inflection of Islam, as a faith, history, and lived experience, in the overarching development of Middle Eastern modernity. 0Challenging typical views of modernism in art history as solely Euro-American, and expanding the conventional periodization of Islamic art history, Seggerman theorizes a "constellational modernism" for the emerging field of global modernism. Rather than seeing modernism in a generalized, hyperconnected network, she finds that art and artists circulated in distinct constellations that encompassed finite local and transnational relations. Such constellations, which could engage visual systems both along and beyond the Nile, from Los Angeles to Delhi, were materialized in visual culture that ranged from oil paintings and sculpture to photography and prints. Based on extensive research in Egypt, Europe, and the United States, this richly illustrated book poses a compelling argument for the importance of Muslim networks to global modernism. 505 0 $a Future publics : the transnational origins of Egyptian modernism -- Mahmoud Mukhtar's pharaonic classicism and pedagogical nationalism -- Lawyerly luxury of easel painting : Mahmoud Said -- The beauty of uncertainty : Abdel Hadi el-Gazzar and the "return" of religion in art -- Potent flows : the fellaha and water jug. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) $z Egypt $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art, Egyptian $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $x Islamic influences. 650 0 $a Islamic modernism $z Middle East $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Arts and transnationalism $z Egypt. 650 7 $a Art, Egyptian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816211 650 7 $a Art, Modern $x Islamic influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816643 650 7 $a Arts and transnationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02003497 650 7 $a Islamic modernism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979990 650 7 $a Modernism (Art) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024442 651 7 $a Egypt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Islamic civilization & Muslim networks 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103022509.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214012519.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64411254FF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
