Content:
Can studying an artist's migration enable the reconfiguration of art history in a new and "global" mode? Michail Grobman's odyssey in search of a contemporary idiom of Jewish art led him to cross the borders of political blocs and to observe, absorb, and confront different patterns of modernism in his work. His provocative art, his rich archives and collections, his essays and personal diaries all reveal this complexity and open up a new perspective on post-World War II twentieth-century modernism - and on the interconnected functioning of its local models.
