>
>"Allan Antliff's important book examines the work of anarchist 
>artists and critics, whose emphasis on freedom and innovation placed 
>them in the avant-garde of the twentieth century.  Among them were 
>such figures as Robert Henri, Alfred Steiglitz, and Man Ray, as well 
>as Emma Goldman for whom anarchism was a natural philosophy of 
>artists.  Treating them and others with intelligence and insight, 
>Antliff brings a new voice to the historical discourse, a voice 
>which commands attention and carries conviction."  Paul Avrich

>"An excellent chronicle of the impact of anarchism on early 
>twentieth-century art in America, Anarchist Modernism restores 
>anarchism to its rightful prominence as a crucial component of the 
>culture of the time and will now stand as the major consideration of 
>the interconnectedness of American art and anarchism in this 
>period."  Linda Dalrymple Henderson
