Synopsis
Artistic vanguards plot new aesthetic movements, print controversial magazines, hold provocative art shows, and stage experimental theatrical and musical performances. These revolutionaries have often helped create America's countercultural movements, from the early romantics and bohemians to the beatniks and hippies. This work looks at how experimental art and the avant-garde artists' lifestyles have influenced, and at times transformed, American culture since the mid-nineteenth century. The work will introduce readers to these artists and rebels, making a careful distinction between the worlds of the high modern artist (salons and galleries) and the bohemian., Looks at how experimental art and the avant-garde artists' lifestyles have influenced, and at times transformed, American culture since the mid-nineteenth century. This work introduces readers to these artists and rebels, making a distinction between the worlds of the high modern artist (salons and galleries) and the bohemian., This work looks at how experimental art and the avant-garde artists lifestyles have influenced the larger American culture since the mid-19th century. The study explores the many ways in which Americas experimental artists have impacted upon, and at times transformed, the culture of a modern industrial nation.

They put the item in an large box, with plenty of space for paper to pad it out, then on top of that, they wrapped it in two layers of bubble wrap! This is far and away the best shipping quality I've seen, and was the perfect thing to keep my item like new just as described.
