The book from the New History of Art series is devoted to the study of the concepts of late modernism and postmodernism. The Second World War, the development and testing of the hydrogen bomb, terrorism, the value system of the consumer society changed the worldview of artists and pushed them to search for new means of self-expression and the invention of new genres: body art, performances, video art. A deep, fascinating analysis of the main currents of this period, undertaken by the cultural historian, Ph.D. in Philosophy Ekaterina Andreeva, helps to learn how to decipher the messages encoded in the works of contemporary art.
