Into The Night: Cabarets And Clubs In Modern Art

Cabarets, clubs, and cafés were incubators of radical thinking, in which artists could exchange provocative ideas. They were welcoming environments for artists, dancers, designers, writers, and musicians pushing the boundaries of cultural and social norms.

From the 1880s to the 1960s, this book covers four continents and includes both famed and littleknown sites of the avant-garde. Organized by city, from Paris, Strasbourg and Vienna to Harlem, Mexico and Nigeria, it features painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, film, and archival material emanating from over a dozen cabarets, clubs, and bars that were home to the likes of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Loie Fuller, Josef Hoffmann, Giacomo Balla, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Theo Van Doesburg, Jeanne Mammen, Jacob Lawrence, Ramón Alva de la Canal, and Ibrahim El-Salahi.
