Sport fascinated modernist artists. They painted it, made films about it, watched it and wrote about it, while leading architects designed new stadiums. Through close study of key works, this book examines the ways in which modernists across Europe engaged with arguably the most pervasive cultural form of the first half of the twentieth century. -- .
