Arts 1900 – 1920: Tornado of Change
Presented by John Swainston
As 1900 dawned, England was celebrating Edward Elgar’s ‘Enigma Variation’ and Jospeh Conrad released ‘Lord Jim’. 1902 saw the opening of New York’s ‘Flatiron building’. Colour photographs appear in France in 1908, just prior to Picasso’s ‘Girls with a Mandolin in 1910. By 1920 Alban Berg was finalising his opera ‘Wozzec’. The Bauhaus School has opened in Weimar, Jazz was booming in New Orleans and W.B. Yeats had released ‘The Second Coming’. A veritable tornado of change.
