From the Publisher. A rich exploration of the influence of skyscrapers, airplanes, and aerial vision on interwar American visual culture.   Demonstrating how aerial movement and height intersect with popular “superman” discourses of the time, Adnan Morshed reveals the relationship between architecture, art, science, and interwar pop culture. Featuring an array of never before published illustrations, this richly textured study of utopian imaginings illustrates America’s propulsion into a new cultural consciousness.
