Modernism ushered in some of the most exciting innovations in art and literature, from Fauvism, Cubism, and Dada, to the novels of James Joyce and Franz Kafka, to such provocative works as Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain." But Modernism also left many people puzzled in its wake. How can a routine bathroom fixture be considered a work of art? Shouldn't a novel have a beginning, a middle, and an end--or at least a story? In this Very Short Introduction, Christopher Butler provides a coherent account of Modernism across various aesthetic and cultural fields. Butler examines how and why Modernism began, explaining what it is and showing how virtually all aspects of 20th and 21st century life have been influenced by its aesthetic legacy. Butler considers several aspects of modernism, including some classic modernist works, movements and notions of the avant garde, and the idea of "progress" in art. Finally, Butler sheds light on modernist ideas of the self, subjectivity, irrationalism, people and machines, and the political dimensions of modernism as a whole. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.Binding Type: Paperback

Better than expected!
After reading the reviews about it being oversized, I was able to get the right fit that I wanted. It is on the thinner end as far as sweatshirts go, but I tend to run hot so I was quite pleased that I got a long sleeve shirt that didn’t make me sweat. Now, let me tell you about the quality …. For some reason I thought the design was just printed on it, but it’s not! The “jolly” is sewn on, and the stripes don’t look cheaper. I love the red banding at the neck, sleeves and waist. It’s so comfortable, and I got compliments on it all night. I would definitely buy it, or any of their own sweatshirts, again!

Runs big. Fabric is nice. Love the color
It's a nice color of green and feels great. I ordered a medium due to the reviews. It's a larger than a normal medium so it's slightly too small. I usually wear XL and sometimes L. So, it does run big. I returned it but probably will order a L.
