After The First World War and throughout the 1920's, France underwent a period of remarkable cultural vitality. During this " Golden Age ", Cubist Art, which had begun before the war, continued as a positive and influential force, and came to accentuate above all else the autonomy of the work and art and the gap between art and life - what has been dubbed The Modernist Position. However, Cubism was challenged by both conservative and radical rivals. In this absorbing book, Christopher Green focuses on the debates that revolved around Cubism in The Twenties, shedding important new light on both Cubists and their advesaries.
