Items related to Avant-Garde Art in Everyday Life: Early Twentieth-Century...
Beginning around 1910, vanguard artists demanded that true art go beyond the intellectual and transform daily life. This volume highlights the work of six influential European artists who took this idea into the wider world, where it merged enthusiastically with demands in the industrial marketplace, the nascent mass media, and urban popular culture.
Featured are Piet Zwart, a Dutch designer who brought his minimalist aesthetic vision to ubiquitous items like biscuit boxes and postage stamps; Karel Teige, leader of the Czech avant-garde, who produced brilliant book and journal designs; his compatriot Ladislav Sutnar, who brought modernist "good design" to tableware, clothing, and children's toys; Gustav Klutsis, who pioneered using photomontage for political purposes; Lazar (El) Lissitzky, who produced some of the most exciting book, poster, and exhibition designs of the 1920s and '30s in Germany and Russia; and German artist John Heartfield, who worked exclusively in photomontage to design book covers, journals, and agitational posters for the Communist cause.

Review:
“A visual delight.” —Library Journal (Library Journal)
"You don't need to see the exhibition to 'get' the catalog, because the book positively bursts with the infectious energy of the art by six individuals whose influences far outstrip their name recognition today. . . . The book's generous helpings of illustrations and reproductions, as well as its own handsome design (as is to be expected from a Yale Press title), showcase the six artists brilliantly."—Alan Bisbort, The Sunday Republican (Alan Bisbort The Sunday Republican)
"A volume for all bibliophiles, this work is a necessary addition to academic libraries that support graduate students and faculty with collections on avant-garde art, the Bauhaus and Dada movements, modern design, and modernism in general."—R.A. Lockard, Choice (R.A. Lockard Choice)
