Description

Armoured soldiers, sexualized machine men, mechanized athletes: Between 1914 and 1926, artists of the German and French avant-garde used the mechanical body as a motif to illustrate the crises of their time and to question man’s place in society. This volume analyses how the motif was staged – as a masculine utopia offering a saviour, a New Man – applying examples from key modernist works by Otto Dix, Hannah Höch, Rudolf Schlichter, George Grosz, Willi Baumeister, Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp and Robert Delaunay, among others. Its transcultural approach, its focus on socio-cultural upheaval, and the inclusion of studies on masculinity enable this publication to provide a fresh perspective on the Machine Man and the New Man as figures in modernity.

Entre 1914 et 1926, les artistes de l'avant-garde allemande et française ont utilisé le motif du corps mécanique pour illustrer les crises de la modernité qui remettent en question la place de l'homme dans la société. Cet ouvrage analyse, à partir des œuvres des artistes de l'avant-garde, dont Otto Dix, Hannah Höch, Rudolf Schlichter, George Grosz, Willi Baumeister, Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp et Robert Delaunay, la manière dont ce motif présente des parallèles avec l'utopie masculiniste salvatrice de l'Homme nouveau. Grâce à son approche transculturelle, l'accent étant mis dans cette publication sur les bouleversements socioculturels, et les études sur la masculinité, cette publication offre un nouveau regard sur les figures de l'homme-machine et de l'Homme nouveau à l'époque moderne.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
