Modernist Aesthetics in Transition, Gebunden

Blurb

"Offering a fresh perspective on the cultural transition between Weimar- and National Socialist-era Germany, this interdisciplinary volume explores the fate of modernism following the censorship of the Nazi years. Presenting essays on architecture, painting, cabaret, typography, and commercial design, the volume explores how modern styles like New Vision photography, Dada, and Neue Sachlichkeit coexisted with established artistic modes and generated a productive tension that persisted during the Nazi era. Bridging photography, moving image, and painting, Aesthetics in Transition provides a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between tradition and modernity in early-20th-century Germany"--
