MODERNISM AND THE ART OF MUSLIM SOUTH ASIA

Book ID/图书代码： 13014009B33926

English Summary/英文概要： • Examines the emergence of South Asian modern art in relation to the intellectual history and culture
• Highlights the balance in South Asian modern art between tradition and international modernism
• Traces in particular the emergence, in Muslim South Asian art, of artistic subjectivity.

This pioneering work traces the emergence of the modern and contemporary art of Muslim South Asia in relation to transnational modernism and in light of the region’s intellectual, cultural, and political developments.

Art historian Iftikhar Dadi here explores the art and writings of major artists, men and women, ranging from the late colonial period to the era of independence and beyond. He looks at the stunningly diverse artistic production of key artists associated with Pakistan, including Abdur Rahman Chughtai, Zainul Abedin, Shakir Ali, Zubeida Agha, Sadequain, Rasheed Araeen, and Naiza Khan. Dadi shows how, beginning in the 1920s, these artists addressed the challenges of modernity by translating historical and contemporary intellectual conceptions into their work, reworking traditional approaches to the classical Islamic arts, and engaging the modernist approach towards subjective individuality in artistic expression. In the process, they dramatically reconfigured the visual arts of the region. By the 1930s, these artists had embarked on a sustained engagement with international modernism in a context of dizzying social and political change that included decolonization, the rise of mass media, and developments following the national independence of India and Pakistan in 1947.

Bringing new insights to such concepts as nationalism, modernism, cosmopolitanism, and tradition, Dadi underscores the powerful impact of transnationalism during this period and highlights the artists’ growing embrace of modernist and contemporary artistic practice in order to address the challenges of the present era.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： · 审视与人文历史和文化相关的东南亚现代艺术的紧迫感
· 强调东南亚现代艺术传统与国际现代主义之间的平衡
· 尤其是追寻东南亚穆斯林艺术中艺术主观性的紧迫性
这项先锋大作追溯了涉及跨国现代主义东南亚穆斯林现代和当代艺术以及按照区域划分的智力、文化、政治上的发展。
艺术历史学家伊芙提哈•达第（Iftikhar Dadi）在这里探讨了几位横亘殖民地时期到独立年代等重要艺术家、男人和女人的艺术和作品。他别具一格，看出了与巴基斯坦相关的主要艺术家的不同艺术产品，包括阿布多•拉蒙•楚泰（Abdur Rahman Chughtai）、仔奴尔•阿贝丁（Zainul Abedin）、沙基•阿里（Shakir Ali）、祖贝达•阿格哈（Zubeida Agha）、萨德奎（Sadequain）、拉希德•阿拉恩（Rasheed Araeen）、奈匝•汗（Naiza Khan）。达第记录了从20世纪20年代起，这些艺术家通过将历史和当代知识概念转化成他们的工作，再用传统的方法变成经典伊斯兰艺术，用艺术用语陈述从当代方法向个人主观性的转变，这是现代的挑战。在这个过程中，他们夸张地重配了当地的视觉艺术。到20世纪30年代，这些艺术家在诸如非殖民化、大众传播媒体的兴起以及1947年印度和巴基斯坦国家独立之后的发展的眼花缭乱的社会和政治变化下从事可持续国际现代主义。
作者给民族主义、现代主义、世界主义以及传统主义融入了新的概念，强调了在此期间跨国主义的强大影响以及艺术家生长在现代主义和当代艺术体验的氛围中，目的是要讲当今世界的挑战。(XJJ)
