The radical Japanese art group Mavo roared into new arenas and new art forms during the 1920s, with work ranging from performance art to painting, book illustration, and architectural projects. The author documents the links between Mavo artists and a wide range of other artistic and political movements with which they associated themselves. Chapters cover western-style painting in Japan, the aesthetics and politics of rebellion, Japan's culture industry, theatre, and Mavo's legacy.
