Pulse of Modernism Physiological Aesthetics in Fin-De-Siecle Europe

Informationen zum Autor Robert Michael Brain is associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia. Klappentext Robert Brain traces the origins of artistic modernism to specific technologies of perception developed in late-nineteenth-century laboratories. Brain argues that the thriving fin-de-siècle field of "physiological aesthetics," which sought physiological explanations for the capacity to appreciate beauty and art, changed the way poets, artists, and musicians worked and brought a dramatic transformation to the idea of art itself.
