Modernism and Mimesis

En savoir plus sur le livre

Modernist art is redefined as interconnected across fiction, painting, music, and poetry, challenging the notion that it rejects mimesis. The author argues that modernism embraces a nuanced understanding of representation, emphasizing simplicity and accessibility over elitism. Naïveté emerges as a vital artistic principle, promoting a healing of the divide between subject and object. By framing mimesis as a means of transforming representation into play and festivity, this work offers a fresh perspective on modernist achievements and their cultural significance.
