| book description |
Armoured soldiers, sexualized machine men, mechanized athletes: Between 1914 and 1926, artists of the German and French avant-garde used the mechanical body as a motif to illustrate the crises of their time and to question man’s place in society. This volume analyses how the motif was staged – as a masculine utopia offering a saviour, a New Man – applying examples from key modernist works by Otto Dix, Hannah Höch, Rudolf Schlichter, George Grosz, Willi Baumeister, Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp and Robert Delaunay, among others. Its transcultural approach, its focus on socio-cultural upheaval, and the inclusion of studies on masculinity enable this publication to provide a fresh perspective on the Machine Man and the New Man as figures in modernity. Entre 1914 et 1926, les artistes de l’avant-garde allemande et française ont utilisé le motif du corps mécanique pour illustrer les crises de la modernité, qui remettaient en question la place de l’homme dans la société. À partir des œuvres d’Otto Dix, Hannah Höch, Rudolf Schlichter, George Grosz, Willi Baumeister, Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp et Robert Delaunay, l’ouvrage analyse les liens entre ce motif et l’utopie masculiniste salvatrice de l’Homme nouveau. Par son approche transculturelle, axée sur les bouleversements socioculturels et les études sur la masculinité, cette publication offre un regard nouveau sur les figures de l’homme-machine et de l’homme nouveau à l’époque moderne.
