Illustrating how the concepts of modernism and the avant-garde variously manifest themselves in film, Kovács begins by tracing the emergence of art cinema as a historical category. He then explains the main formal characteristics of modern styles and forms as well as their intellectual foundation. Finally, drawing on modernist theory and philosophy along the way, he provides an innovative history of the evolution of modern European art cinema. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Exploring not only modernism's origins but also its stylistic, thematic, and cultural avatars, \u003ci\u003eScreening Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately lays out creative new ways to think about the historical periods that comprise this golden age of film.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrás Bálint Kovács\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in the Institute for Art Theory and Media Research at ELTE University in Budapest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.96 x 8.89 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 15, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47454496358578,"sku":"9780226451657","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/5051f2b1d92f7a7eaf08326f46ec5f1f_6957b19f-da33-4a51-a44a-66671b6458e1.webp?v=1778852583","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/screening-modernism-european-art-cinema-1950-1980-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
