Bücher der Reihe Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies

This book explores the relation of abstract art to nature. It covers three categories of essays: classical modernism (Mondrian, Malevich, Kandinsky, Arp, early American abstraction); post-war abstraction (Pollock, Still, Newman, Smithson, Noguchi, Arte Povera, Michaux, postmodern developments); and the broader historical and philosophical scope.

As social, locative, and mobile media render the intimate public and the public intimate, this volume interrogates how this phenomenon impacts art practice and politics in the Asia-Pacific region.
