Artists and Radicalism in Germany, 1890-1933 traces the evolution of the German applied arts movement from 1890 through the interwar period, offering a fresh perspective on the role of radicalism and avant-garde labor in the history of modern art.
The book reveals how reforms in artistic and vocational education intersected with the professional politics of radical artists and the nature of intellectual labor. Challenging conventional views, Nikos Pegioudis reinterprets the conflict between modern art's advocates and opponents, arguing that professional politics--not merely political ideologies--shaped the historical avant-garde. In doing so, Artists and Radicalism casts new light on German modern art and its interpreters.
