The Modernist Hyacinth

This book sheds light on a conscious group of artists known as Modernists in literature and Cubists in painting, who lent their pens and souls to a common effort of getting their universal race out of the lethargy imposed by the standards of modernity. T. S. Eliot and Georges Braque conspire in the weaving of a tapestry of artistic fragments, which emerge unexpectedly in the barren ground of The Waste Land and the broken surface of Guitar and Glass, as cornerstones of revolutionary ideology.
