  • Léonce Rosenberg’s Cubism

    The Galerie L’Effort Moderne in Interwar Paris

    by Giovanni Casini ...
    Series series Refiguring Modernism
    The history of modernism has generally been written as a story of artists and their creations alongside the collectors, gallerists, and curators who supported them.

  • Historical Dictionary of Surrealism

    by Keith Aspley ...
    Series series Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts
    Surrealism was a broad movement, which attracted many adherents. It was organized and quite strictly disciplined, at least until the death of its leader, André Breton, in 1966. As a consequence, its membership was in a constant state of flux: persons were constantly being admitted and excluded, and often the latter continued to regard themselves as Surrealists.

    Series series European Perspectives: A Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism
    The years before the First World War have long been romanticized as a zenith of French culture—the “Belle Époque.” The era is seen as the height of a lost way of life that remains emblematic of what it means to be French.
