9783110637021: Realisms of the Avant-Garde: 6 (European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies, 6)

Synopsis

The historical avant-gardes defined themselves largely in terms of their relationship to various versions of realism. At first glance modernism primarily seems to take a counter-position against realism, yet a closer investigation reveals that these relations are more complex. This book is dedicated to the links between realism, modernism and the avant-garde in their international context from the late 19th century up to the present day.

At first glance modernism primarily seems to take a counter-position against realism, yet a closer investigation reveals that these relations are more complex. The sixth volume of the EAM book series is dedicated to the multifold links between realism, modernism and the avant-garde in their international context from the late 19th century up to the present day.
