Cultural Calendar of the 20th Century not only provides a clear account of the Modern Movement in the arts, but also shows how current philosophies and ideas pervaded the work of contemporary artists, eventually influencing the major arts and popular imagery. Perhaps the most important thing about this book is that it is fun; as the pages are turned, and year follows year, the most turbulent period in cultural history unfolds; strange contrasts emerge from the pictures, and connections form between contemporary events and works of art to create a feeling of fascination and nostalgia.
