Examining the relationship between German poetry, philosophy, and
visual media around 1900, Carsten Strathausen argues that the
poetic works of Rainer Maria Rilke, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and
Stephan George focused on the visible gestalt of language as a
means of competing aesthetically with the increasing popularity and
""reality effect"" of photography and film. Poetry around 1900
self-reflectively celebrated its own words as both transparent
signs and material objects, Strathausen says. In Aestheticism, this
means that language harbors the potential to literally present the
things it signifies. Rather than simply describing or picturing the
physical experience of looking, as critics have commonly
maintained, modernist poetry claims to enable a more profound kind
of perception that grants intuitive insights into the very texture
of the natural world.
