Adri Kácsor is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Art History at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, and a Pre-doctoral Fellow at the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. She is interested in the entangled histories of arts and politics, with a focus on twentieth-century European and Soviet art and visual culture, modernism, socialist realism, socially-engaged art, and political propaganda. Her dissertation, titled Migrant Aesthetics: Hungarian Artists in the Service of Soviet Internationalism, 1919-1956, brings the figure of the migrant to the study of Soviet and European modern art to rethink the relationship between avant-garde and socialist realist aesthetics. Her research in Europe, Russia, and the USA has been generously supported by the CLIR Mellon and SSRC Mellon Dissertation Fellowships.
