Case studies on Dadaism, decadence, fauvism, neo-impressionism, symbolism, and various anarchisms explore the influence anarchism had on the avant-gardes and reflect on avant-garde tendencies within anarchism. This volume also explores the divergence of anarchism and the avant-gardes. It offers a rich examination of politics and arts, and it complements an ongoing discourse with theoretical tools to better assess the aesthetic, social, and political cross-pollination that took place between the avant-gardes and the anarchists in Europe.Avant garde critical studies ;38.ArtPolitical aspectsAnarchism and artAvant-garde (Aesthetics)History19th centuryAvant-garde (Aesthetics)History20th centuryHistory.fastArtPolitical aspects.Anarchism and art.Avant-garde (Aesthetics)HistoryAvant-garde (Aesthetics)History335.8309Kosuch Carolin1981-NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910821682003321Anarchism and the avant-garde4047844UNINA
