The Independent Group: Modernism and mass culture in Britain, 1945-59 / Massey, Anne ; Duchamp M ; Ernst M ; Paolozzi E ; Reichardt J ; Cordell M ; Denny R ; Hamilton R ; McHale J., 1995

 Item
Identifier: CC-32177-33727
Scope and Contents

The Independent Group was a loose collection of artists, designers and writers whose careers were impaired by war, who were bound together in their discussion, exhibitions and published writing by an admiration for continental modernism. At first linked to the European modernism of the ICA in London, the Group proposed a new, fresh approach to cultural analysis and extended the boundaries of their discussions and work in art and design to new technology and liberal American modernism. They were influential in bringing about the erosion of the high/low culture divide by celebrating popular culture and mass produced consumer goods. The author analyzes key exhibitions by the Group that helped popularize their ideas. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
