- Summary:
- This volume, the first to focus on Chicago, tells the story of that city's vitriolic struggle between an 'old guard' who advanced the ideals of traditional ninteenth-century art and an 'avant-garde' of painters, illustrators, photographers and sculptors who espoused the new modernist art from Europe. The result is an illuminating exploration of Chicago's early cultural development with a focus on the struggle that largely defined the course of the city's art and art institutions in the early decades of this century.
