"Malaysia Art Volume 1: Imagining Identities brings together a collection of essays which highlights the ways in which art has provided artists with the means of imagining themselves, and imagining our nation. The 19 essays in this publication comprise of five reprinted seminal texts from the 1970s to 90s and new commissioned essays by writers across different generations. They discuss art developments in relation to changing expressions and experiences in Malaysian social and cultural life from after the Second World War to contemporary times, which 140 illustrations create a parallel visual narrative. This unprecedented gathering of Malaysian art writing should prove a valuable reference for a wide audience, from specialists to general readers interested in Malaysian art and history"--Page [4] of cober |
