Summary
The aesthetics and concepts of modern art have influenced American television ever since its inception in the 1930s. In return, early television introduced the public to the latest trends in art and design. This engaging catalogue is the first book to comprehensively examine the way avant-garde art shaped the look and content of network television in its formative years, from the 1940s through the mid-1970s. -- Page [4] of cover.
