Piotr Slodkowski skilfully exposes the issues that make Central European Modernism such a vital field for revisionist art history today: he tackles, head-on, the fluidity of cultural identities in the region and rewrites the relationship between Modernism and Socialist Realism.

This important revisionist work establishes the importance of Henryk Streng/Marek Wlodarski to not only European, but global modernism-valorizing the contribution of neglected Soviet and post-Soviet-Era artists. It is essential reading for all students of modernist art.

Employing a range of devices, from adaptation and hybridity, to Slodkowski's own propositions such as 'versioning' and 'comparative collage,' this book challenges art history's conventional focus on great masters' influence and clear-cut styles.
