An authoritative re-definition of the social, cultural and visual
history of the emergence of the "avant-garde" in Paris and London
Over the past fifty years, the term "avant-garde" has come to shape
discussions of European culture and modernity, ubiquitously taken
for granted but rarely defined. This ground-breaking book develops
an original and searching methodology that fundamentally
reconfigures the social, cultural, and visual context of the
emergence of the artistic avant-garde in Paris and London before
1915, bringing the material history of its formation into clearer
and more detailed focus than ever before. Drawing on a wealth of
disciplinary evidence, from socio-economics to histories of
sexuality, bohemia, consumerism, politics, and popular culture,
David Cottington explores the different models of cultural
collectivity in, and presumed hierarchies between, these two focal
cities, while identifying points of ideological influence and
difference between them. He reveals the avant-garde to be at once
complicit with, resistant to, and a product of the modernizing
forces of professionalization, challenging the conventional wisdom
on this moment of cultural formation and offering the means to
reset the terms of avant-garde studies.
