Bhabha, Stuart Hall and Edward Said, this book challenges long-standing assumptions about Paraskos as a 'peasant painter' or naive modernist. Instead, it presents him as an intellectually self-aware artist whose practice was both rooted in Cyprus and in a dialogue with international modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough close readings of Paraskos's paintings, writings and his founding of the Cyprus College of Art, Stass Paraskos: Critical Frameworks explores questions of artistic identity, migration, colonial inheritance and cultural resistance.
