Insane Acquaintances explores a range of exhibitions, organisations and institutions
that mediated and promoted modernism in Britain. In a series of case studies on subjects
ranging from the first Postimpressionist exhibition in London in 1910, the teaching
of modernist art in schools, the decoration and design of the modernist home, the
International Surrealist exhibition in London in 1936 and the Festival of Britain
in 1951, Insane Acquaintances charts some of the ways in which modernism not only
sought to improve the quality of art but also the quality of art's reception in Britain.
It also provides an institutional history of some of the groups and organisations
that fostered modernist art in Britain during that period
