Abstract	The World's Fair of 1939, held in New York, was an extremely important cultural event. The leading artists of the day--including the likes of Salvador Dali and Aaron Copland--participated, and in many ways the fair represented all that was prevalent in culture at that time. This book explores the fair's impact with archival photos and essays by noted musicologists and critics such as Robert Rosenblum.
