The texts include primary sources from the 1880s to the eve of war in the late 1930s, knitted together with classic analyses from critics such as Benjamin, Greenberg, and Bürger.

Introductory essays explore the key themes raised by the texts. The result is a vivid chronicle of avant-garde practice in Europe during an especially creative, and volatile, period of history.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989821767909,"sku":"NP9781405111539","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405111539.jpg?v=1761785574","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/post-impressionism-to-world-war-ii-isbn-9781405111539","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
