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. 410 0$aCinema and modernity. 606 $aMotion pictures$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aModernism (Aesthetics)$zEurope 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aModernism (Aesthetics) 676 $a791.43094/09045 700 $aKovacs$b Andras Balint$0790288 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821841403321 996 $aScreening modernism$91764306 997 $aUNINA
