Exploring the significance of metaphor in modern art "Where do the
roots of art lie?" asked Der Sturm founder Herwarth Walden. "In the
people? Behind the mountains? Behind the planets. He who has eyes
to hear, feels." Walden's Der Sturm-the journal, gallery,
performance venue, press, theater, bookstore, and art school in
Berlin (1910-1932)-has never before been the subject of a
book-length study in English. Four Metaphors of Modernism positions
Der Sturm at the center of the avant-garde and as an integral part
of Euro-American modern art, theory, and practice. Jenny Anger
traces Walden's aesthetic and intellectual roots to Franz Liszt and
Friedrich Nietzsche-forebears who led him to embrace a literal and
figurative mixing of the arts. She then places Der Sturm in
conversation with New York's Societe Anonyme (1920-1950), an
American avant-garde group modeled on Der Sturm and founded by
Katherine Sophie Dreier, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Working
against the tendency to examine artworks and artist groups in
isolation, Anger underscores the significance of both organizations
to the development and circulation of international modernism.
Focusing on the recurring metaphors of piano, glass, water, and
home, Four Metaphors of Modernism interweaves a historical analysis
of these two prominent organizations with an aesthetic analysis of
the metaphors that shaped their practices, reconceiving modernism
itself. Presented here is a modernism that is embodied, gendered,
multisensory, and deeply committed to metaphor and a restoration of
abstraction's connection with the real.
