Sussex Modernism
Autor Hope Wolfen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 apr 2025
Hope Wolf explores a breadth of work by over 70 artists associated with different modernist movements who either visited or resided in Sussex. Well-known figures, including Virginia Woolf, Jacob Epstein, David Jones, Gluck, Edward Burra, and Lee Miller, are joined by countercultural artists of the 1960s–1980s, women artists whose power was regional rather than national, as well as the voices of modernism’s opponents. Offering a new history of modernism, this book intertwines literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, textiles, music, and domestic decoration across a period of over 100 years. Revealing how artists drew on their environments to promote psychic and social change, Sussex Modernism is a book of jostling perspectives on art, place and politics.

Recenzii
'When you thought that there was nothing more to be said about Eric Ravilious, Vanessa Bell, Edward Burra and Lee Miller, along comes this generously illustrated book presenting an entirely fresh perspective on 100 years of art history. Sussex Modernism weaves a web of connections between familiar names and largely forgotten artists, and tells a political and radical story of art making which feels fresh and important again.' - Nathaniel Hepburn, Director of Charleston, East Sussex, UK
'Ezra Pound called London "a vortex drawing strength from the peripheries." Hope Wolf's splendidly wide-ranging study of Sussex Modernism goes one step further, showing persuasively that regions outside the capital, often derived as merely 'provincial', could themselves become lively modernist 'vortices'.' - Peter Nicholls, Henry James Professor of English and American Letters, Emeritus New York University, Author of Modernisms: A Literary Guide
'A deep excavation into the cultural landscape, Wolf's exciting psychogeographical gazetteer asks: What art can place produce? Arresting answers come from the sceptics, mystics, rebels and disrupters who have sculpted, painted, photographed and filmed multiple visions of Sussex in flux'. - Annebella Pollen, Professor of Visual and Material Culture, University of Brighton
