Moving Modernism by Nell Andrew PDF Summary

Book Description: "Moving Modernism reenacts the simultaneous eruption of three spectacular revolutions, the development of pictorial abstraction, the first modern dance, and the birth of cinema, which together changed the artistic landscape of early-twentieth-century Europe and the future of modern art. Rather than a book about dancing pictures or about pictures of dancing, however, this study follows the chronology of the historical avant-garde to show how dance and pictures were engaged in a kindred exploration of the limits of art and perception that required the process of abstraction. Recovering performances, working methods, and circles of aesthetic influence and reception for avant-garde dance pioneers and experimental filmmakers from the turn of the century to the interwar period, Moving Modernism challenges to modernism's medium-specific frameworks by demonstrating the significant role played by the arts of motion in the historical avant-garde's development of abstraction: from the turn-of-the-century dancer Loïe Fuller who awakened in symbolist artists the possibility of prolonged or suspended vision; to cubo-futurist and neo-symbolist artists who reached pure abstraction in tandem with the radical dance theory and performance of Valentine de Saint-Point; Sophie Taeuber's hybrid Dadaism between art and dance; to Akarova, a prolific choreographer linked to Belgian constructivism, whose pioneers called her dance "music architecture," "living geometry," and "pure plastics"; and finally to the dancing images of early cinematic abstraction from Edison and the Lumières to Hans Richter, Fernand Léger and Germaine Dulac. Each chapter reveals abstraction's emergence not only as a formal strategy but as an apparatus of creation, perception, and reception deployed across artistic media toward shared modernist goals. Focusing on abstraction's productive rather than reproductive value, Andrew argues that abstraction can be worked like a muscle, a medium through which habits of reception and perception are broken and art's viewers engaged by the kinaesthetic sensation to move and be moved"--
