Art in changing times

More about the book

This book is the most comprehensive attempt to survey the history of painting and sculpture in Slovakia between 1890 and 1949. Slovak Modernism is presented as a logical, continuous complex of the endeavors of artists from all cultural backgrounds: Slovak, Hungarian, Czech, and Jewish. From the flourishing of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the communists gaining full control over Czechoslovakia, this consideration demonstrates how art in Slovakia was exposed to many changes during this period.
