Exploring the modernist era from 1872 to the Great Depression, the book delves into the diverse artistic expressions of the time, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Dadaism. It examines how these movements perceived modernity through different lenses, likening it to a jigsaw puzzle, a convulsive body, or a heap of junk. Daniel Albright seeks to uncover the underlying connections among these varied artistic models, highlighting the shared cultural assumptions that shaped their appeal and the cohesive aesthetic that emerged from this tumultuous period.
