An Associative Art History rethinks the position of Czech, Slovak, and Eastern European postwar art within the broader global context. Rather than repeating Western-centric narratives or drawing direct comparisons, the book explores the specific cultural and political conditions that shaped artistic creation and interpretation in the East. How do figures like Knižák, Kolář, Koller, and Kovanda intersect with movements such as Situationism, Minimalism, and Fluxus? What links exist between Czech theorist Jindřich Chalupecký and Clement Greenberg? Art historian and curator Tomáš Pospiszyl weaves together nine insightful essays—spanning 1939 to 2013—blending historical analysis with personal reflections to offer a fresh perspective on contemporary Eastern European art before, during, and after the Iron Curtain.
