Summary:The catalogue "Group Dynamics : Collectives of the Modernist Period" sets out from the observation that the art-historical scholarship on the specific ways in which artists' groups have shaped the evolution of art remains fragmentary and often narrowly focused on the West. Instead of staging a contest of rivaling aesthetic tendencies, the show sheds light on the development of collectives and the historical circumstances in which they emerged, reconstructing their political agendas and visions both practicable and, in some instances, utopian. The ubiquity of similar historical structures and communal strategies in different settings underscores the crucial role that collectives have played in introducing and disseminating central ideas and innovations within and beyond modernist art.--
"Buenos Aires, Casablanca, Beijing, Khartoum, Lahore, Tokyo: over the course of the 20th century, artists formed collectives all over the world. But if the impulse to create such groups was universal, the concerns of their members, their aesthetic methods, political goals and utopian aspirations varied greatly. This massive volume illuminates the emergence and development of collectives against the background of their respective social and cultural contemporaneity from 1900 to 1980."--
"The period under consideration in the presentation--from around 1910 to the 1980s--spans international modernization movements and anticolonial struggles for independence."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper.
