In Europe, \"America\" became a cultural concept that emblematized an urban lifestyle, efficient labor systems and low-threshold entertainment. Certain exports, such as jazz, were embraced, while others, such as Taylorism, met with heavy criticism. In turn, European art and its new movements, such as Dadaism, Futurism and Constructivism, attracted both reverence and disdain in the United States. The American public learned about these cultural experiments through magazines such as\u003cem\u003e The Little Review.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough expository texts and reproductions of poems, artwork, posters, sheet music and magazines, \u003cem\u003eModern Times\u003c\/em\u003e documents the transatlantic exchange that occurred between the European avant-garde and American popular culture during the storied Roaring Twenties.
