Description

Unlike conventional avant-garde narratives that primarily revolve around dynamic processes, this volume explores the static side of modernism. Mondrian, Schlemmer, and Benn are presented as "aesthetic staticians," who, like engineers, are on the search for balance. A dazzling panorama of cultural and theoretical history unfurls, revealing how statics shaped classical modernism.
