Did Americans truly want to \"subvert\" the Soviet regime with abstraction, and were the Soviets really \"afraid\" of non-figurative art? And, most noteworthy, can we adequately assess the role of art as a \"weapon\" of the Cold War? The significance of \u003cem\u003eShared Images\u003c\/em\u003e lies in its revision of what, to date, has been a biased, politicized approach to American art and Soviet cultural policies during the Cold War. \u003cem\u003eShared Images\u003c\/em\u003e proposes that we write Cold War art history without merely projecting political events onto the art historical timeline and interpolating the logic of Cold War politics into cultural history. Instead, the monograph presents a careful narrative which, along with major political events, also considers individual agencies, affective regimes, and, of course, formative contexts other than the political. Exploring American art as an essentially global phenomenon, the monograph employs the concept of a \"shared history\" to analyze interconnections and mutual dependence of Soviet and American art histories from the late 1940s to the 1960s. \u003cem\u003eShared Images, \u003c\/em\u003e thus, revises narratives on Soviet and American isolationism, allegedly a distinctive feature of Cold War cultures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKirill Chunikhin\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor at the Department of History and Head of Laboratory for Visual History at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg, Russia. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 231\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460986650877,"sku":"9783111388120","price":176.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/pml_IY0TFv9783111388120.webp?v=1777256538","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/shared-images-a-history-of-american-art-in-the-soviet-union-during-the-cold-war-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
