Reviews

“Facing Images is one of the most original and intellectually demanding art-historical writings I have encountered in many years. It is a work of erudition and activism—a real effort to better the humanistic discipline of art history in ways that matter to the future.” —Mimi Yiengpruksawan,author of Hiraizumi: Buddhist Art and Regional Politics in Twelfth-Century Japan “The revisionist angles that Facing Images opens for art history are immensely interesting and promise to reframe our understanding of the aesthetic and material dimensions of modernity. Kersey’s engagement with primary and secondary materials reveals many of the tacit assumptions embedded in the art-historical study of modernity. That intervention should be quite exciting for art historians and scholars of comparative modernisms!” —Charlotte Eubanks,author of The Art of Persistence: Akamatsu Toshiko and the Visual Cultures of Transwar Japan
