" ... Features chapters on expressionism, futurism, surrealism, and revolutionary art and includes fresh perspectives on the work of Arnold Schoenberg, Wassily Kandinsky, and Emil Nolde, among others. The volume illuminates an international avant-garde intent on resisting bureaucracy, standardization, scientific rationality, and the increasing commodification of mass culture"--Jacket, p. [2].
