Reviews

"In a trailblazing, iconoclastic work of cultural history, Eksteins links the modern avant-garde's penchant for primitivism, abstraction and myth-making to the protofascist ideology and militarism unleashed by WW I," reported PW . "This provocative and disturbing reappraisal of modernism rings with authority." Photos.
