Review: "French Modernisms: Perspectives on Art Before, During, and After Vichy examines the period 1937 to 1968 by looking at the margins of official art history. The author focuses on underreported exhibitions of modern French art, typical visual artifacts, aberrant art criticism (Fascist or Vichy-inspired but also anti-establishment). Her Benjaminian approach uncovers surprising continuities in the French attitude toward the "other": a hybrid of anti-foreigner, anti-Semitic, anti-American protectionism, and little resistance to cultural narcissism."--BOOK JACKET.
