Details the liberal, progressive, and visionary art of the group abstraction-cr�ation.

A journey to the art capital of the 1930s: Paris. The avant-garde group abstraction-cr�ation and its fifty or so members were an inspiration to the art world with their clear lines and kaleidoscopic experiments with form. Leading figures of abstraction joined together to support artistic freedom and oppose the rise of fascism, before modernism shifted its gravitational centre to New York. This visually superlative volume combines highlights of abstract art with carefully integrated contemporary perspectives, offering an introduction to the group, impressions of Paris in the 1930s, and a visual treasure trove.

The book includes art by Hans (Jean) Arp, Willi Baumeister, Alexander Calder, Robert Delaunay, Theo van Doesburg, Otto Freundlich, Naum Gabo, Albert Gleizes, Jean Gorin, Jean H�lion, Barbara Hepworth, Auguste Herbin, Mainie Jellett, L�szl� Moholy-Nagy, Piet Mondrian, Marlow Moss, Wladyslaw Strzeminski, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Georges Vantongerloo, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, Rana Begum, Angela Bulloch, Daniel Buren, Imi Knoebel, Timo Nasseri, Kai Schiemenz, and Beat Zoderer, among others.
