Description
Product Description Explores the social, political, economic, and cultural atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties and its impact on the development and character of the arts From Library Journal Architecture, sculpture, painting, film, graphic art, photography, industrial design, fashion design, and theater design are all touched on in this look at the arts of the 1920s. Neret's text is opinionated and moves over so much territory so fast that the reader may be left breathless. His focus is on the arts in France, Germany, and Russia, with American examples less frequently cited. The 300 illustrations include examples by many lesser-known artists as well as Picasso, Matisse, Le Corbusier, and others whose work has come to be regarded as seminal. Although those with no prior knowledge of the period will find the text difficult to follow, the engaging illustrations will appeal to interested laypersons and general readers. Kathryn W.
