{"product_id":"le-tumulte-noir","title":"Le Tumulte noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn France of the early twentieth-century, the term \u003ci\u003eart nègre \u003c\/i\u003ewas as likely to refer to the black music and dance of America as to the sculpture of Africa. Indeed, music and dance, which both racial theorists and novelists portrayed as the \"primitive\" arts par excellence, were widely believed to exemplify the \"genius\" of blacks. In \u003ci\u003eLe Tumulte noir\u003c\/i\u003e, Jody Blake traces the profound impact African sculpture and African American music and dance had upon Parisian popular entertainment as well as upon avant-garde, modernist art, literature, and theater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough her discussion of the reception of ragtime and jazz, as well as other African visual and performing art forms, Blake provides new ways of understanding the development of modernist \"primitivism,\" from Matisse and Picasso to Dada and Surrealism. She also demonstrates that the influence of \u003ci\u003eart nègre\u003c\/i\u003e went well beyond the art world. From the notorious cakewalk to the Charleston, African American idioms played a key role in shaping modern cultural, social, and political life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pennsylvania State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223980396888,"sku":"9780271023397","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780271023397.jpg?v=1769835628","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/le-tumulte-noir","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
