Bøger af Rainer Rumold

In this first scholarly focus on modernist avant-garde Bildung in its entwinement of conceptual modernity with forms of the archaic, Rumold resituates the significance of the poet and art theorist Einstein and his work on the language of primitivism and the visual imagination. This is a major reconsideration of the conception of the modernist project.

Among the avant-garde of the early 20th century, the German movement remains one of the least understood in the current avant-garde and modernism debates. This work reassesses the heyday and afterlife of expressionist and Dada productions as a prolonged crisis of literary culture.
