Griselda Pollock

Born, 1949 in South Africa

Griselda Pollock, Professor of Social and Critical Histories of Art, University of Leeds, offered the following endorsement of Cosmopolitan Modernisms, inIVA and MIT Press, 2005: “This is exactly what we have been waiting for… These essays ensure that cultural difference and social place are not optional add-ons but the very stuff of the expanded history of artistic practice and interpretation. Insisting on the combination of social-historical determinations and aesthetic-semiotic creatives, Cosmopolitan Modernisms shows how art history can engage with difference so that the excluded subjects of the old canon become the psychologically complex articulations of a radically enriched understanding of the whole of 20th-century art and visual culture.”
