What has been the significance of sport for the European
avant-garde in the first half of the 20th century? From an
international and interdisciplinary perspective we show the extent
to which avant-garde art and culture was shaped by the dynamic
encounter with modern sports. Our focus lies on avant-garde
artists, groups, movements and institutions across Europe
(including Cubism, Futurism, Vorticism, Purism, Expressionism,
Dada, the Bauhaus, Constructivism in Central and Eastern Europe),
thereby unfolding the diversity of avant-garde responses to modern
sports. The book in front of you includes fascinating readings in
the fields of aesthetics, visual cultures, cultural history and
politics and highlights why specific kinds of sport such as
cycling, boxing and football became important for avant-garde
movements and artists.
