Book excerpt: American Modernism across the Arts expands our vision of the modernist impulse by taking the arts together. Each of the essays in this book ranges between the arts, or between the arts and other cultural manifestations: from writing to painting, photography to architecture, art to the mall, or women's work to autobiography. Such interdisciplinarity collapses artistic compartements to bring a healthy new relevance to a study of an American modernism that is grounded in an adventurous avant-garde culture. The corpus spans modernism in all its states: Gertrude Stein, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alfred Stieglitz, George Gershwin, Ezra Pound, Hart Crane, as well as Djuna Barnes, Robert McAlmon, Elsa von Freitag-Lorinhoven, Randolph Bourne, Margaret Anderson, and Carl Van Vechten.
