This is the first comprehensive scholarly publication devoted to Hoo Mojong’s (1924–2012) life and work. She was a major figure in twentieth-century Asian modernism and is crucial to rewriting the transnational history of modern art across China, Latin America and Europe. The book seeks to establish her place within the histories of twentieth-century Asian art and global modernism. Drawing on newly uncovered archives, exhibition and collection records, close object analysis and oral histories, the book connects her fragmentary histories across Brazil, France and China.
