Placing Chinese painting history : the cultural production of the geohistory of painting practice in China / Jennifer Purtle -- 7. Between place and time : a critical geography of 'new' Central Europe / Piotr Piotrotvski -- 8. 'Independent of time and place' : on the rise and decline of a modernist ideal / Dario Gamboni -- 9. Arbitrariness and authority : how art makes cultures / David Summers.
Review: "This book proposes to return anew to the approach of artistic geography, which had been largely neglected from the Second World War until recently, and to reevaluate the possibilities it provides through a selection of case studies that discuss the connection between art and its place. The introduction and first essay deal with the historiography of the geography of art. Five essays take up specific questions ranging from France and the Low Countries to Mexico and China. The final three essays consider contemporary and broader theoretical issues concerning art in time and place."--BOOK JACKET.
