How Did the Writers and Artists of the "Lost Generation" Ignite the 20th Century?
Post-war 1920s Paris played host to America’s lost generation: American writers who felt disillusioned and culturally bereft in their native country and chose to escape growing U.S. conservatism by relocating abroad. Join Janee Baugher as she explores this community of international thinkers that included James Joyce and Pablo Picasso, American novelists F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein, poets T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. The relationships formed in this artistic hub launched careers and artistic work that defied past conventions, resulting in the birth of such artistic movements as Dadaism and Surrealism.
