This book maps key moments in the history of postwar art from a global perspective.
The reader is introduced to a new globally oriented approach to art, artists, museums and movements of the postwar era (1945–70). Specifically, this book bridges the gap between historical artistic centers, such as Paris and New York, and peripheral loci. Through case studies, previously unknown networks, circulations, divides and controversies are brought to light. From the development of Ethiopian modernism, to the showcase of Brazilian modernity, this book provides readers with a new set of coordinates and a reassessment of well-trodden art historical narratives around modernism.
This book will be of interest to scholars in art historiography, art history, exhibition and curatorial studies, modern art and globalization.

A Portuguese painter whose rigorous works feature complex interiors and city views exploring space and perspective
Published with Peggy Guggenheim Collection.This volume retraces the career of Portuguese artist Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (1908–92) from the 1930s until the 1980s, through a selection of key paintings that reflect her repeated and continually evolving exploration of abstract forms and optical illusions. These are accompanied by drawings, engravings and tapestries, offering a comprehensive overview of the artist's practice. Vieira da Silva's work embraces a variety of styles and influences that range from the decorative geometric patterns of the Hispano-Arab tiles called azulejos to the checkerboard tablecloths present in the paintings of Pierre Bonnard. This catalog aims to draw attention to the relationship between abstraction and figuration in her work, expressed in architectural spaces that blur the distinction between real and imaginary urban landscapes, above and beyond the formal references to Portuguese visual culture and avant-garde movements including Cubism and Futurism.
