From an international and interdisciplinary perspective we show the extent to which avant-garde art and culture was shaped by the dynamic encounter with modern sports.  Our focus lies on avant-garde artists, groups, movements and institutions across Europe (including Cubism, Futurism, Vorticism, Purism, Expressionism, Dada, the Bauhaus, Constructivism in Central and Eastern Europe), thereby unfolding the diversity of avant-garde responses to modern sports. The book in front of you includes fascinating readings in the fields of aesthetics, visual cultures, cultural history and politics and highlights why specific kinds of sport such as cycling, boxing and football became important for avant-garde movements and artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures    Introduction: Sport and the European Avant-Garde, 1900–1945   Andreas Kramer and Przemysaw Stroek    1 Vitalist Cubisms: The Biocultures of Virility, Militarism and La Vie Sportive   Fae Brauer  2 The Aesthetics and Ideology of Sport in Italian Futurism   Günter Berghaus  3 Outside the Vortex?: Vorticism and the English Avant-Garde’s Indifference to Sport   John Hughson  4 ‘Vive le sport!’ German Expressionism and Dada   Andreas Kramer  5 Sports and the Bauhaus: Bringing School to Life   Joann Skrypzak-Davidsmeyer  6 A New Pitch: Art, Sport and the Impact of the Avant-Garde in the Soviet Union in the 1920s   Mike O’Mahony  7 Worker Sport, Mountaineering and the Avant-garde Left in Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland: On Sporting Content in ReD, Munka and Dwignia   Przemysaw Stroek  8 After Purism: The Young Man’s Home at the 1935 Brussels Exhibition   Bernard Vere    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210817954135,"sku":"9789004449855","price":91.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sport-and-the-european-avant-garde-1900-1945-9789004449855","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
