Books in the Elgar Dissertation Companions series

Accompanying the first US museum exhibition devoted to contemporary art from Pakistan, this catalogue provides a look at the trends in Pakistani art. It covers a range of subjects and media, from installation and video art to sculpture, drawing, and paintings in the 'contemporary miniature' tradition.

Focuses on artwork produced from the 1950s to the 1970s, when Mao Zedong was in leadership. This book argues that important contributions were made during this period that require fuller consideration in Chinese art history, especially with relevance to the contemporary world.
