Romantic Moderns
An award-winning study of England's unique and peculiarly insular variant of modernism. In this multi-award-winning book, Alexandra Harris tells a different story. While the battles for modern art and society were being fought in France and Spain, it has seemed a betrayal that John Betjeman and John Piper were in love with a provincial world of old churches and tea-shops.
Eclectically, passionately, wittily, they showed that 'the modern' need not be at war with the past. In the 1930s and 1940s, artists and writers explored what it meant to be alive in England. Constructivists and conservatives could work together, and even the Bauhaus émigré, László Moholy-Nagy, was beguiled into taking photographs for Betjeman's nostalgic Oxford University Chest.
This modern English renaissance was shared by writers, painters, gardeners, architects, critics, tourists and composers. John Piper, Virginia Woolf, Florence White, Christopher Tunnard, Evelyn Waugh, E. M. Forster and the Sitwells are part of the story, along with Bill Brandt, Graham Sutherland, Eric Ravilious and Cecil Beaton.
