Art rebels : race, class, and gender in the art of Miles Davis and Martin Scorsese

Lopes, Paul Douglas2019
Books
Postwar America experienced an unprecedented flourishing of avant-garde and independent art. Across the arts, artists rebelled against traditional conventions, embracing a commitment to creative autonomy and personal vision never before witnessed in the United States. Paul Lopes calls this the Heroic Age of American Art, and identifies two artists - Miles Davis and Martin Scorsese - as two of its leading icons. In this book, Lopes tells the story of how a pair of talented and outspoken art rebels defied prevailing conventions to elevate American jazz and film to unimagined critical heights.
