Mario Sironi and Italian modernism : art and politics under fascism / Emily Braun.

New York, N.Y. : Cambridge University Press, 2000.

xv, 316 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm

"This book examines the work of Mario Sironi, painter, caricaturist, designer, and muralist, whose images shaped the political myths of Italian Fascism. Providing a case study of the relationship between artistic freedom and political authoritarianism during and between the world wars in Italy, Braun recounts how Sironi fashioned the Fascist regime's image in both high and low art forms, from propaganda in the press to monumental mural projects, and shows why Sironi was defended by progressive critics, and even Mussolini himself, as the consummate artist of the "Fascist Revolution." Both a monograph and cultural history, Mario Sironi and Italian Modernism charts the fate of modern art and the avant-garde project of cultural renewal under Fascism. It reveals the relationship between Fascism, myth and modernism, as well as the link between Sironi's art and postwar abstraction in Europe and America."--Jacket.
