Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Between 1900 and 1937 the avant garde consisted of a series of overlapping movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dadaism, Constructivism and Surrealism. Because of its very nature, the avant garde was denied traditional modes of communication and exhibition, so participants became adept at finding alternative outlets, publishing their own manifestos, poetry, magazines and books, and creating new genres, such as the artist's book and the photo-book. These frequently employed innovative design and typography, still influential today. This book focuses on the printed work of avant garde participants, demonstrating its importance to the various groups and the way in which printed works helped to disseminate information and ideas internationally.Publication is timed to coincide with the major autumn exhibition of the same name at the British Library. It contains around 100 illustrations of avant garde printed work, giving a unique insight into a little-studied aspect of the avant garde. Thirty cities of particular importance to the avant garde are featured, and their artists and contributions are described in depth. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Zustand: Gut bis sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 176 pages - the book contains around 100 illustrations in both colour and b/w - "Breaking the Rules explores the creative transformation that took place in Europe during the first four decades of the 20th century a revolution that encompassed visual art, design, photography, literature, theatre, music, and architecture. Each style is traditionally regarded as a movement in itself but for the first time they are brought together to explore common themes and the creative transformation which took place at the time, as well as its continuing impact on contemporary culture.Printed work was of great importance to the avant garde as it enabled new ideas to be disseminated throughout Europe rapidly. This book features articles by library curators on thirty European and Russian cities, describing their particular significance to the avant garde, and featuring the artists that lived and worked there. The Avant Garde was characterised by its exploitation of the printed medium. Breaking the Rules draws upon the British Library's unrivalled collections of artists' books, manifestos, little magazines, photobooks, literary manuscripts, sound recordings, and posters from across Europe, complemented with loans from other European museums and collections.".
