Baroque Between the Wars: Alternative Style in the Arts, 1918-1939
ISBN: 9780198808770 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Baroque between the Wars is a fascinating and new account of the arts in the twenties and thirties. We often think of this time as being dominated by modernism, yet the period saw a dialogue between modern baroque--eclectic, playful, camp, open to influence from popular culture yet in dialogue with the past, and unafraid of the grotesque or surreal--and modernism, which was theory-driven, didactic, exclusive, and essentially neo-classical.
