Specifically, The Avant-Garde in Interwar England explores the life of Frank Pick, managing director of the London Underground, whose patronage of modern artists, architects, and designers was guided by a desire to unite nineteenth-century arts and crafts with twentieth-century industry and mass culture. Saler demonstrates that modernism was widely associated in England with medievalism, and was also thought to have direct social, economic, and spiritual benefits for the nation.Modernism (Art)EnglandArt, English20th centuryAvant-garde (Aesthetics)EnglandHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Modernism (Art)Art, EnglishAvant-garde (Aesthetics)History709/.42/09041Saler Michael T.1960-864163MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450356403321The avant-garde in interwar England2452714UNINA
