The dust jacket states,"This book focuses on the printed work of avant-garde artistic movements such as Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dadaism, Constructivism and Surrealism. Avant-garde artists and writers published their own manifestos, poetry magazines and books, and created new genres such as the artist's book and the photo-book. Printed works were easy to distribute and helped to disseminate avant-garde ideas internationally. Around 30 cities of particular importance to the avant-garde are featured, and their artists and contributions are described in depth." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
