Douglas Sirk, Aesthetic Modernism and the Culture of Modernity

Victoria L. Evans

The first truly interdisciplinary analysis to link Douglas Sirk’s striking visual aesthetic to key movements in twentieth century art and architecture, this book reveals how the exaggerated artifice of Sirk’s formal style emerged from his detailed understanding of the artistic debates that raged in 1920s Europe and the post-war United States.
