Rod Rosenquist, Alice Wood

Research output: Contribution to Specialist PublicationSpecial issue

Abstract

This is the introduction to a special issue of Modernist Cultures, 'Modernism in Public', exploring the various conceptions of 'the public' within modernist culture. It argues that modernism gets its definition through its relationship to a public or types of public, but that its definition is also continually redefined by that public.
