Résumé
'Neolithic Childhood' examines how in the interwar years the artistic avant-gardes in Europe and beyond reacted to the ? crisis ? of almost everything, from the barbarism of technological mass war to the hypocrisies of colonial discourse. The perceived need to re-establish European civilization after the disaster of the First World War led to an interminable reconstruction of origins and beginnings - making ? ground zero ? the limiting function of modernity. Based on the writings of the anti-academic art historian Carl Einstein (1885?- 1940), the exhibition is devoted to despair over the present and the pressing interest in ? altering ? humanity, as manifested from the 1920s to the 1940s in the artistic avant-gardes and the sciences.'
