| Summary |
This book looks at the ties between European modernism and democracy in a cross-cultural manner. Focusing on the continental avant-gardes of the 1910s and 1920s, Sascha Bru's original and provocative book fundamentally revises our understanding of modernism's cultural and poltical history. |
