On modern art as the harbinger of fascist revolution: Mark Antliff (Duke University), "Avant-Garde Fascism: The Mobilization of Myth, Art, and Culture in France, 1909-1939" (Duke University Press, 2007).

Review: " Avant-Garde Fascism puts a spotlight on theories of aesthetics and revolution that some anticapitalist, anti-democratic intellectuals propounded in France from 1909 to 1939. The fountainhead of those theories was the writing of Georges Sorel, the anarcho-syndicalist who shifted his hopes to the ultra-royalist, anti-Semitic, and Catholic right (the Action Française in particular) around 1909."
