I Got Rhythm: Art and Jazz Since 1920 (German and English Edition)

In the 1920s and 1930s jazz from the United States took Europe
by storm, conquering the ballrooms and dance halls, bars and
cafés, music halls and movie theaters. The new music was the
first popular phenomenon—it was pop before pop existed—
and enthralled the bohemian world and affluent middle class
as much as it did adolescents and intellectuals. With works
by major artists such as Otto Dix, Max Beckmann, Marlene
Dumas, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, Romare Bearden,
Andy Warhol, K.R.H. Sonderborg, Verena Loewensberg, A.R.
Penck, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, I Got Rhythm: Art and Jazz
since 1920 demonstrates how jazz provoked a remarkable
response from the art scene throughout the twentieth century.
This book unites diverse artistic explorations of jazz, starting
with paintings of the classic modern period, continuing with
works of European and American postwar abstraction, and
culminating in contemporary installations and video pieces.
