Summary
Modernism is usually thought of as a shock wave of
innovations hitting art, architecture, music, cinema and
literature - the work of Picasso, Joyce, Schoenberg, movements
like Futurism and Dada, the architecture of Le Corbusier, T.S.
Eliot's The Wasteland and the avant-garde theatre of Bertolt
Brecht or Samuel Beckett. But what really defines modernism?
Why did it begin and how long did it last? Is Modernism over
now? Chris Rodriguez and Chris Garratt's brilliant graphic
guide is a brilliant exploration of the last century's most
thrilling artistic work - and what it's really all about. ** Chris Garratt is an illustrator and cartoonist whose Biff
comic series ran for twenty years in the Guardian.About the Author
