In Europe, \"America\" became a cultural concept that emblematized an urban lifestyle, efficient labor systems and low-threshold entertainment. Certain exports, such as jazz, were embraced, while others, such as Taylorism, met with heavy criticism. In turn, European art and its new movements, such as Dadaism, Futurism and Constructivism, attracted both reverence and disdain in the United States. The American public learned about these cultural experiments through magazines such as \u003ci\u003eThe Little Review\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eThrough expository texts and reproductions of poems, artwork, posters, sheet music and magazines, \u003ci\u003eModern Times\u003c\/i\u003e documents the transatlantic exchange that occurred between the European avant-garde and American popular culture during the storied Roaring Twenties. The volume identifies the means through which ideas and phenomena were disseminated abroad and traces their respective receptions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Przemyslaw Strozek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3959058861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783959058865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spector Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Przemyslaw Strozek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48242031001855,"sku":"9783959058865","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7649d4f7-1a17-458d-a571-0446e3f516f8.jpg?v=1772657165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-times-przemyslaw-strozek-9783959058865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
