DESCRIPTION:Drawn from the research for my recently published book\, Radic
 al Form: Modernist Abstraction in South America\, this lecture turns to a 
 small set of abstract artists working in Latin America in the mid-twentiet
 h century whose work was directed by universal questions\, ones concerned 
 with subjectivity\, emancipation\, and belonging at their most general. My
  focus will be on methodological questions that arise in tackling such uni
 versalist ambitions from the so-called “periphery” and how the recover
 y of such projects might square with efforts to write more expansive\, non
 -linear\, and contextually grounded histories of modernism as a global phe
 nomenon. \n\nMegan A. Sullivan received her PhD in the History of Art from
  Harvard University and is presently assistant professor of modern Latin A
 merican art at the University of Chicago. She is the author of Radical For
 m: Modernist Abstraction in South America (Yale University Press\, 2022) a
 nd co-editor of A Companion to Modern and Contemporary Latin American and 
 Latina/o Art (Wiley Blackwell\, 2022). She is currently at work on a monog
 raph provisionally titled Twentieth-Century Peruvian Art: Episodes in a Hi
 story of Modernism and its Others\, which will chart the relationship betw
 een modernism\, pre-Columbian artifacts\, and indigenous material culture 
 in Peru between 1920 and the 1970s.
