Pop Modernism examines the popular roots of modernism in the United States. Drawing on a wide range of materials, including experimental movies, pop songs, photographs, and wellknown poems and paintings, Juan A. Surez reveals that experimental art in the early twentieth century was centrally concerned with the reinvention of everyday life. Surez demonstrates how modernist writers and artists reworked pop images and sounds, oldfashioned and factorymade objects, city spaces, and the languages and styles of queer and ethnic others. Along the way, he reinterprets many of modernisms major figures and argues for the centrality of relatively marginal ones, such as Vachel Lindsay, Charles Henri Ford, Helen Levitt, and James Agee. As Surez shows, whats at stake is not just an antiquarian impulse to rescue forgotten past moments and works, but a desire to establish an archaeology of our present art, culture, and activism.
