Notes on Matthew Rampley’s ‘Networks, Horizons, Centres and Hierarchies: On the Challenges of Writing on Modernism in Central Europe’

Matthew Rampley’s inspiring article raises many relevant questions related to the past and current position of East-Central European art in the international context. My reflections on his essay include a brief survey of the emergence and submergence of centers and peripheries in the twentieth century; the changes of the geographic and cultural concept of Central Europe; a historical example for an all-inclusive art collection; the recent adaption of ‘cultural studies’ in Central Europe, and a couple of Hungarian examples from the recent years for possible strategies to counterbalance the disadvantages of the position of art in Central Europe.
