Introduces the full range and depth of the early 20th-century
European avant-gardes This engaging introduction outlines the
cultural and political contexts in which the avant-gardes operated,
taking readers on a journey throughout the whole of Europe. It
discusses the most salient features of the avant-gardes' work in
all the arts, succinctly surveys the major avant-garde movements
(cubism, futurism, expressionism, Dadaism, constructivism and many
other -isms) and demonstrates the ways in which they transformed
the face of all modern art forms. Clearly written, this book shows
readers and students of modernism how and why the avant-gardes were
a major force in modern art and culture. Key Features An up-to-date
and thorough guide to the 'classic' European avant-gardes, from
1905 to 1935 Covers all the arts practiced by the classic European
avant-gardes - from painting and film, literature and sculpture,
architecture and photography to theatre, dance and music - focusing
on the specificity of each art form as well as on what united them
