CollectifCold Revolution (Central and Eastern European Societies in Times of Socialist Realism, 1948-1959)

“Stemming from an international conference and curatorial project at the Zachęta – National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, in 2020-2021, this publication is dedicated to socialist realism, a sensitive and problematic period in contemporary art history, interrogating the relationship between the visual culture of the 1950s and the radical social revolution that took place in Central and Eastern Europe in the ‘cold’ climate of rising international tensions and strengthening communist dictatorships.
