Piece Information
- "Culture Shock 1913"
- Summary: What a year was 1913! Many have called it the true beginning of 20th century culture. From New York, where the first large-scale show of modern art alarmed viewers, to Vienna and Paris, where music by Schoenberg and Stravinsky sparked audience riots --- it was a year of artistic upset and audience apoplexy! A hundred years later, WNYC’s Sara Fishko and guests tell the story of this Mad Modernist moment of sweeping change, and the ways in which it mirrors our own uncertain age.

Happy to have discovered this documentary and producer Sara Fishko. Excellent treatment of an important moment in history. I'll be listening to more of the Fishko Files.
