Making Music Modern
This book recreates an exciting and productive period in which creative artists felt they were witnessing the birth of a new age.

Brennan also discusses Stieglitz's relation to competing artistic and critical movements, including Thomas Hart Benton's regionalist art and Clement Greenberg's reformulation of formalism."--Jacket.
