Our Artwork of the Month is the Prague department store Bílá labuť by Josef Kittrich and Josef Hrubý. Matthew Rampley explores it as an example of a new type of building shaped by the relationship between modernist architecture and the consumer economy https://t.co/IT4RtwXT3n

Our November Artwork of the Month is a "sketch for a film manuscript" - or is it a picture poem? @NVeszpremi explores how Dynamic of the Metropolis expressed Moholy-Nagy's fascination with, as well as concerns about, the effects of modernity on human life

In our Artwork of the Month @NVeszpremi explores the modernity of the stained-glass artist Lili Sztehlo, whose St Stephen window fitted into one of the most grandiose projects of the Horthy regime, in which art, politics and scholarship became intertwined https://t.co/KobueKWxUG
