Description

Explore how fin-de-siecle primitivism shaped the emergence of modernism in this scholarly volume from Stanford University Press. This richly illustrated examination reveals the profound influence of ethnographic materials on diverse intellectual and cultural discourses, from ethnology and social theory to gender construction, classical scholarship and travel photography at the turn of the century. Featuring 98 photographs and drawings, the collection presents a nuanced analysis of modernism's complex origins, demonstrating how primitive art and non-Western cultures became central to reshaping high and low cultural expressions during this transformative period. Essential reading for scholars and students interested in cultural history, modernism studies and the relationship between Western intellectual traditions and ethnographic knowledge.
