Spanning from the 1950's to the 1970's, András Bálint Kovács's encyclopedic work argues that cinematic modernism was not a unified movement with a handful of styles and themes but rather a stunning range of variations on the core principles of modern art. Illustrating how the concepts of modernism and the avant-garde variously manifest themselves in film, Kovács begins by tracing the emergence of art cinema as a historical category. He then explains the main formal characteristics of modern styles and forms as well as their intellectual foundation. Finally, drawing on modernist theory and philosophy along the way, he provides an innovative history of the evolution of modern European art cinema. Exploring not only modernism's origins but also its stylistic, thematic, and cultural avatars, Screening Modernism ultimately lays out creative new ways to think about the historical periods that comprise this golden age of film.Cinema and modernity.Motion picturesEuropeHistoryModernism (Aesthetics)EuropeMotion picturesHistory.Modernism (Aesthetics)791.43094/09045Kovacs Andras Balint790288MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821841403321Screening modernism1764306UNINA
