Modernist Diaspora
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-18531-9 (ISBN)
The paintings of Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine, Sonia Delaunay-Terk, and Emmanuel Mané-Katz, the sculptures of Jacques Lipchitz, Ossip Zadkine, Chana Orloff, and works by many other artists now grace the world’s museums. As the École de Paris was the most cosmopolitan artistic movement the world had seen, the left-bank neighborhood of Montparnasse became a meeting place for diverse cultures.
How did the tolerant, bohemian atmosphere of Montparnasse encourage an international style of art in an era of bellicose nationalism, not to mention racism and antisemitism? How did immigrants not only absorb but profoundly influence a culture? This book examines how the clash of cultures produced genius.
Richard D. Sonn is Professor of History at the University of Arkansas, where he teaches French history, Jewish history, and modern European social, cultural and intellectual history. He is the author of three previous books, including Anarchism and Cultural Politics in Fin de Siècle France (1989), and Sex, Violence and the Avant-Garde: Anarchism in Interwar France (2010).
