This book takes a new, interdisciplinary approach to analyzing
modern Viennese visual culture, one informed by Austro-German
theater, contemporary medical treatises centered on hysteria, and
an original examination of dramatic gestures in expressionist
artworks. It centers on the following question: How and to what end
was the human body discussed, portrayed, and utilized as an
aesthetic metaphor in turn-of-the-century Vienna? By scrutinizing
theatrically "hysterical" performances, avant-garde puppet plays,
and images created by Oskar Kokoschka, Koloman Moser, Egon Schiele
and others, Nathan J. Timpano discusses how Viennese artists
favored the pathological or puppet-like body as their contribution
to European modernism.
