Examining their written and visual works over the past fifty years, Mathur illuminates how her protagonists? political and aesthetic commitments intersect and foreground uncertainty, difficulty, conflict, and contradiction. This book presents new understandings of the culture and politics of decolonization and the role of non-Western aesthetic avant-gardes within the discourses of contemporary art. Through skillful interpretation of Sundaram's and Kapur?s practices, Mathur demonstrates how received notions of mainstream art history may be investigated and subjected to creative redefinition. Her scholarly methodology offers an impassioned model of critical aesthetics and advances a radical understanding of art and politics in our time. 606 $aArt, Indic$y20th century 606 $aArt, Indic$y21st century 606 $aArt$xPolitical aspects$zIndia 615 0$aArt, Indic 615 0$aArt, Indic 615 0$aArt$xPolitical aspects 676 $a709.540904 700 $aMathur$b Saloni$0904318 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910383810103321 996 $aA fragile inheritance$92022019 997 $aUNINA
