Although the name stood for the organizers' home cities, the Cobra artists hailed from countries in Europe, Africa, and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book investigates how a group of struggling young artists attempted to reinvent the international avant-garde after the devastation of the Second World War, to create artistic experiments capable of facing the challenges of postwar society. It explores how Cobra's experimental, often collective art works and publications relate to broader debates in Europe about the use of images to commemorate violent events, the possibility of free expression in an art world constrained by Cold War politics, the breakdown of primitivism in an era of colonial independence movements, and the importance of spontaneity in a society increasingly dominated by the mass media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars in art history, 20th-century modern art, avant-garde arts, and European history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Kurczynski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367509458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367509453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.85w x 0.63d","brand":"Karen Kurczynski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520263700735,"sku":"9780367509453","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28f3beee-dcbc-44fb-97bf-d061be9f1a86.jpg?v=1762884538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cobra-movement-in-postwar-karen-kurczynski-9780367509453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
