How did artists and ideologues navigate the cultural field under Peronism? In 'Art and Propaganda during Peronist Argentina' (Avant-Garde Critical Studies, vol. 47), Iliana Cepero explores how visual languages were shaped by—and helped shape—the political realities of the time.

At the core of this study is the concept of intentional citations, which foregrounds the socio-cultural specificity of Latin American modernism beyond European models.

In "El simbolista discreto. José Cabrero y Mons" (Foro Hispánico, vol. 76), Lola Cabrero brings to light the intriguing life and work of a forgotten figure in Spanish modernism.

Once described as the central figure in the 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘦, José Cabrero y Mons (1871–1954) remains the only unidentified face in Solana’s famous painting 𝘓𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘧é 𝘥𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘰.

This richly illustrated monograph uncovers unpublished letters, rare books, and artworks from his collection—including pieces by Rodin, Solana, and Puvis de Chavannes.

"Le futurisme polonais, 1918–1924 / Polski Futuryzm, 1918–1924" (2 vols.) by Franck Jedrzejewski and Malgorzata Perigot-Grygielewicz offers the most comprehensive edition to date of Polish Futurist poetry, manifestos, and visual material from the early 20th century. With many texts published here for the first time, this two-volume set is an essential resource for scholars of modernism, transnational avant-garde movements, and Central European literary history.

Published as part of the Avant-Garde Critical Studies series, this bilingual edition (French and Polish) reflects the intellectual energy and radical poetics of an often-overlooked chapter in the Futurist movement.
