Modern Art in Pakistan examines interaction of space, tradition, and history to analyse artistic production in Pakistan from the 1950s to recent times. It traces the evolution of modernism in Pakistan and frames it in a global context in the aftermath of Partition.
A masterful insight into South Asian art, this book will interest researchers, scholars, and students of South Asian art and art history, and Pakistan in particular. Further, it will be useful to those engaged in the fields of Islamic studies, museum studies, and modern South Asian history.
‘Simone Wille's research has carefully traced a focused, influential trajectory of modern and contemporary artistic practice in Lahore . . . Revelatory and distinctive.’— Iftikhar Dadi, Cornell University
‘[A]n innovative study which analyses the position of modern and contemporary art of Pakistan within the traditions of South Asia and modern globalisation. It is essential reading for experts in these fields but also . . . for those interested in the artistic developments of our times within the Islamic world and beyond its boundaries.’ — Ebba Koch, University of Vienna
‘What many Pakistani artists have accomplished through art practice finally finds a parallel in art historiography . . . Wille compellingly places modern and contemporary Pakistani art within the space of global modernism and art discourse without losing its specificity.’ — Parul Dave Mukherji, Jawa harlal Nehru University
