Abstract
The crisis of modernity and its response to modernism mark the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. During the First World War and the subsequent revolutions they manifested themselves in a dramatic way. This book explores the relationships between the new social and political designs of the period - planning, new man, total state - and the artistic-intellectual avant-garde, from Italian futurism to the Bauhaus to its Soviet counterparts. The focus is on the machine, which became the key concept of modernism.File in questo prodotto:
