Malevich and Interwar Modernism
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-20421-8 (ISBN)
It is unusual to discuss interwar modernism and its postwar survival, but this book’s chapters work together to argue that the interwar developments signified a turning point in twentieth-century art that led to much creativity and innovation. Forgács supports her theory with newly found and newly interpreted documents that prove how this exciting legacy was shaped by three major agents: Malevich, Lissitzsky and van Doesburg. She offers a wider interpretation of modernism that examines its postwar significance, reception and history up until the emergence of the New Left in 1956 and the seismic events of 1968.
Éva Forgács is adjunct Professor of Art History at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, USA.
