Postromanticism

Claudia Moscovici was born in Bucharest, Romania and immigrated with her family to the United States when she was twelve years old. She is the author of several scholarly books on democracy and teaches philosophy (aesthetics) and arts and ideas at the University of Michigan. She is collaborating with Mexican sculptor Leonardo Pereznieto on founding a movement in art and poetry called postromanticism, to which this website is dedicated.

Her publications include Erotisms (1996) and Perusals into Postmodern Thought (2000), both of which blend philosophy and fiction. She has completed a nonfiction book called Romanticism and Postromanticism and is currently working on a coffee table book entitled New Romanticism: The Art of Passion that introduces to a more general audience the art of contemporary painters, sculptors and photographers that continues—and transforms for our times—the romantic tradition.

Her first novel, entitled The Cubic Planet, is a love story staged in the midst of a world war between a corrupt democracy and an authoritarian regime. Her novel-in-progress, Artworld, traces the struggles of postromantic artists in an artistic milieu dominated by conceptual art.
