From the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century, the upsurge of modernism rose. From city streets, natural villages to coastal islands, from private homes to public cafes, well-known art gathering places and gathering places have inspired countless artists' creativity.

In this book, veteran scholar Mary Ann Cowes lingers in the birthplace of modernism. The Prague café that Kafka and Einstein frequented, the Pont d’Aven in France where Gauguin and many other artists lingered, Picasso’s meeting place in Barcelona... We see a “moving feast” where modernist masters appear one by one , a pioneering vision of the era is unfolding before our eyes.
