    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This accessible, foundational volume explores how modern art developed around the world by comparing contexts and artistic production in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa from the 1850s through the 1960s.


    To provide a broader, more comprehensive view of modern art, both chronological and thematic approaches will be used and selections from all regions of the world will be included—from Africa, Asia, the Americas, as well as Europe. Each section begins with an overview of the region, leading into more detailed case studies of specific countries’ historical contexts, including their cultural and aesthetic values and the ways in which cultures have interacted with regional neighbors and outside forces. Examples of specific artists and groups will be discussed for each country and will illuminate themes that illustrate cultural distinctions and connect to broader modern trends traced throughout the text.


    This book will be of interest to students and scholars working in art history, modernism, globalization, and decolonization.
