Piotr Slodkowski skilfully exposes the issues that make Central European Modernism such a vital field for revisionist art history today: he tackles, head-on, the fluidity of cultural identities in the region and rewrites the relationship between Modernism and Socialist Realism. * Klara Kemp-Welch, Reader in 20th Century Modernism, The Courtauld Institute of Art, UK * This important revisionist work establishes the importance of Henryk Streng/Marek Wlodarski to not only European, but global modernismvalorizing the contribution of neglected Soviet and post-Soviet-Era artists. It is essential reading for all students of modernist art. * Partha Mitter, Emeritus Professor, University of Sussex, UK * Employing a range of devices, from adaptation and hybridity, to Slodkowskis own propositions such as versioning and comparative collage, this book challenges art historys conventional focus on great masters influence and clear-cut styles. * Beįta Hock, Acting Head of Eastern European Art History, Institute for Art and Visual History, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany *
