Modernism: The Salons is the Website of a graduate seminar in the English Department during the fall semester of 1997. Salons is chiefly a schematic for organizing discussion of and research about a movement that was disparate in its sources and locations, not to mention its membership. The seminar focuses on the visual sources of American Modernist authors, ranging from the photographs of Steiglitz and Man Ray to the painting of Stuart Davis, Pablo Picasso and Marsden Hartley, to the films of D. W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin, to the industrial design and architecture of New York and Chicago.
