Summary: Tumble of the avant gardes
Comment: This surprising work on the history of modern aesthetics unexpectedly diagnoses the 'state of the art' for various patients 'etherized on a table' and traces much of what animates as its Idea modern art with lepidopteric precision. Theory would seem irrelevant to the case of the inspiration but life is not that simple, and the way the author traces the 'speculative theory' of art through its confusing incarnations back to the Romantics, thence to the generation of Schlegel, Schiller, and others, thence again to Kant, is highly illuminating, suddenly an indespensible key to the dynamics of avantgardism.
