Art during the Cold War

Project leader: Daniel Véri

 

This comprehensive research project examines the role of fine arts in the context of the Cold War in the postwar period between 1945 and 1975.

The projects within this programme take an interdisciplinary approach, at the intersection of art history, exhibition history, and cultural diplomacy (soft power), in order to illuminate the artistic nodes of bilateral and regional international relations and to examine the memory of the Holocaust in fine arts in the context of Cold War confrontation and East–West rivalry.

The two ongoing research projects are The Modern Idol: Henry Moore in the Eastern Bloc and Holocaust and the Arts. The former examines, in the framework of an international collaboration, the exhibitions and reception of Henry Moore, a key figure of modern art, in the Eastern Bloc (partners: Alina Șerban, Bucharest, The Institute of the Present; Lujza Kotočová, Prague, Academic Research Centre of the Academy of Fine Arts).
