Compare The Pulse of Modernism by Robert Michael Brain, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. | The Pulse of Modernism by Robert Michael Brain, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
