Addressing the Century: 100 Years of Art & Fashion

Editorial Reviews Book Description This vividly illustrated book celebrates the close relationship between the worlds of art and fashion in the twentieth century. It traces a history of ideas from these two arenas, investigating their similarities and differences and the ways that both have been crucial to the development of twentieth-century culture. Topics explored include the role of theater and ballet in the 1930s; the place of the fashion mannequin and the tailor's dummy in surrealist art; mutability and transience in art and fashion and fashion photography; and clothing's effect on the presentation and perception of the body. About the Author Peter Wollen is Professor of Film Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, and author of Raiding the Icebox: Reflections on Twentieth-Century Culture.
