This selection of works explores the spaces of leisure culture that emerged during the rise of urban-centered, industrial society in western Europe. These modernist renderings of dance halls, variety shows, the opera, and the ballet--including works by Edgar Degas, Jacques Lipchitz, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner--suggest the complex nature of observing, participating in, and interpreting the modern world at the onset of the twentieth century.
