Positing the Cold War as a globalized conflict, fraught with different political ideologies and intercultural exchanges, this study asks how these historical circumstances shaped local debates in Beirut over artistic pedagogy, the social role of the artist, the aesthetics of form, and, ultimately, the development of a national art. Drawing on a range of archival material and taking an interdisciplinary approach that combines Art History, Middle Eastern, and Cold War studies, Sarah Rogers argues that the genealogies of modern art can never be understood as isolated, national histories, but rather that they participate in an ever contingent global modernism. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in art history, contemporary art, and Middle East studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) $z Beirut. $z Beirut. 650 0 $a Art $x History $z Beirut $z Beirut $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art and society $z Beirut $z Beirut $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Art $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815309 650 7 $a Modernism (Art) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024442 651 7 $a Lebanon $z Beirut. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01225260 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rogers, Sarah A.
