Beginning around 1910, vanguard
artists demanded that true art go
beyond the intellectual and transform
daily life. This volume highlights
the work of six influential
European artists who took this
idea into the wider world, where
it merged enthusiastically with demands
in the industrial marketplace,
the nascent mass media, and
urban popular culture. Featured
are Piet Zwart, a Dutch designer;
Karel Teige, leader of the Czech
avant-garde, who produced brilliant
book and journal designs; his
compatriot Ladislav Sutnar, who
brought modernist „good design“
to tableware, clothing, and children’s
toys; Gustav Klutsis, who
pioneered using photomontage for
political purposes; (El) Lissitzky,
