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. 606 $aModernism (Art)$zEngland 606 $aArt, English$y20th century 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$zEngland$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aModernism (Art) 615 0$aArt, English 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xHistory 676 $a709/.42/09041 700 $aSaler$b Michael T.$f1960-$0864163 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450356403321 996 $aThe avant-garde in interwar England$92452714 997 $aUNINA
