This pioneering book aims to change this situation. It was written in response to the question of what role alternative forms of spirituality--such as Eastern religions, esotericism and mysticism--played in artistic practices shaped by imposed secularization and Marxist ideology in post-war socialist countries. The articles collected in this volume reveal the complexity and ambiguity of these connections, shedding light on forgotten artists, works and themes. Through this book, we invite you to take part in the enchantment of exploring a previously unknown chapter in the history of modern art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justyna Balisz-Schmelz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900474746X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004747463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 1.25d","brand":"Justyna Balisz-Schmelz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997017911551,"sku":"9789004747463","price":281.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enchanted-socialist-modernity-justyna-balisz-schmelz-9789004747463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
