This book addresses modernism's ties to tradition, commerce, nationalism, and spirituality through an analysis of the assimilation of visual modernism in England between 1910 and 1939. Specifically, The Avant-Garde in Interwar England explores the life of Frank Pick, managing director of the London Underground, whose patronage of modern artists, architects, and designers was guided by a desire to unite nineteenth-century arts and crafts with twentieth-century industry and mass culture. Saler demonstrates that modernism was widely associated in England with medievalism, and was also thought to have direct social, economic, and spiritual benefits for the nation.

Revue de presse :
What makes The Avant-Garde in Interwar England an exciting book is the variety of issues on which Pick's career sheds light, or which shed light on it. (Common Knowledge)
The value of this book lies in the author's thorough analysis of historical material, the exposure of a network of connections which existed between British art and industry in the period, and in the author's decision to investigate an historical territory that seems to have been unfashionable for several years. Michael T. Saler demonstrates that inter-war London can still yield new and engaging histories. (London Journal)
Michael T. Saler presents a comprehensively researched and copiously annotated discussion of Pick in the context of his time and the production of art and industrial design ... Pick provides the means for Saler to offer a fresh appraisal of English modernism, recasting it as a discourse between the avant-garde of those concerned with 'fine' art, and the mediaeval modernists. (London Journal)
A most interesting and important book ... The point of view that asserts the social utility and value of art, as it derived from Ruskin and Morris and was shared and developed by Pick and others of his generation, remains important for us today, and we are greatly indebted to Michael Saler for having drawn attention to such an important and neglected aspect of our recent cultural history in this excellent and thought-provoking book. (Peter Faulkner, The Journal of the William Morris Society)
This book will be of interest to social and intellectual historians of the arts in interwar Britain and in the institutional promotion of the arts. It is an important contribution. (The Historian)
An admirable study, wideranging, thoughtful in its treatment of crucial issues in modern art and culture, exemplary in its imaginative use of materials from the Pick archives. (American Historical Review)
Saler's book, ought to make a permanent impact. It reveals, among other things, how much of the Medieval Modernist programme has been internalised by design historians and journalists. (Crafts Magazine)

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The Avant-Garde in Interwar England addresses modernism's ties to tradition, commerce, nationalism, and spirituality through an analysis of the assimilation of visual modernism in England between 1910 and 1939. During this period, a debate raged across the nation concerning the purpose of art in society. On one side were the aesthetic formalists, led by members of London's Bloomsbury Group, who thought art was autonomous from everyday life. On the otherwere England's so-called medieval modernists, many of them from the provincial North, who maintained that art had direct social functions and moral consequences. As Michael T. Saler demonstrates in thisfascinating volume, the heated exchange between these two camps would ultimately set the terms for how modern art was perceived by the British public.Histories of English modernism have usually emphasized the seminal role played by the Bloomsbury Group in introducing, celebrating, and defining modernism, but Saler's study instead argues that, during the watershed years between the World Wars, modern art was most often understood in the terms laid out by the medievalmodernists. As the name implies, these artists and intellectuals closely associated modernism with the art of the Middle Ages, building on the ideas of John Ruskin, William Morris, and othernineteenth-century romantic medievalists. In their view, modernism was a spiritual, national, and economic movement, a new and different artistic sensibility that was destined to revitalize England's culture as well as its commercial exports when applied to advertising and industrial design.This book, then, concerns the busy intersection of art, trade, and national identity in the early decades of twentieth-century England. Specifically, it explores the life and work ofFrank Pick, managing director of the London Underground, whose famous patronage of modern artists, architects, and designers was guided by a desire to unite nineteenth-century arts and crafts withtwentieth-century industry and mass culture. As one of the foremost adherents of medieval modernism, Pick converted London's primary public transportation system into the culminating project of the arts and crafts movement. But how should today's readers regard Pick's achievement? What can we say of the legacy of this visionary patron who sought to transform the whole of sprawling London into a post-impressionist work of art? And was medieval modernism itself a movement of pioneers or dreamers?In its bold engagement with such questions, The Avant-Garde in Interwar England will surely appeal to students of modernism, twentieth-century art, the cultural history of England, and urban history. This book addresses modernism's associations with tradition, commerce, spirituality, and nationalism through an analysis of the assimilation of visual modernism in England between 1910 and 1939. It demonstrates that in England modernism was associated with romantic medievalism and was understood to have direct benefits to the nation.
