Art, Culture and National Identity in Fin de Siècle Europe

by Michelle Facos (Editor), Sharon L. Hirsh (Editor), John Morrison (Contributor)

This study examines the phenomenon of politicized art and its connections to modernism in eleven essays that focus on as many nations. An international team of authors explores the complex issues facing artists who helped form a distinct national identity to audiences at home and abroad. Their detailed case studies unravel the matrix of circumstances fostering nationalistic developments, thereby offering a more nuanced understanding of European art and culture circa 1900.
