"Gone with the Wind" an inspiration for the American
avant-garde? Mickey Mouse a crucial source for the development of
cutting-edge intellectual and aesthetic ideas? As Greg Taylor shows
in this witty and provocative book, the idea is not so far-fetched.
One of the first-ever studies of American film criticism, "Artists
in the Audience" shows that film critics, beginning in the 1940s,
turned to the movies as raw material to be molded into a more
radical modernism than that offered by any other contemporary
artists or thinkers. In doing so, they offered readers a vanguard
alternative that reshaped postwar American culture: nonaesthetic
mass culture reconceived and refashioned into rich, personally
relevant art by the attuned, creative spectator.
