The German art historian and critic Carl Einstein (1885-1940) was
at the forefront of the modernist movement that defined the
twentieth century. One of the most prolific and brilliant early
commentators on cubism, he was also among the first authors to
assess African sculpture as art. Yet his writings remain relatively
little known in the Anglophone world. With A Mythology of Forms,
the first representative collection of Einstein's art theory and
criticism to appear in English translation, Charles W. Haxthausen
fills this gap. Spanning three decades, it assembles the most
important of Einstein's writings on the art that was central to his
critical project--on cubism, surrealism, Pablo Picasso, Georges
Braque, and Paul Klee, and includes the full texts of his two
path-breaking books on African art, Negro Sculpture (1915) and
African Sculpture (1921). With fourteen texts by Einstein, each
presented with extensive commentary, A Mythology of Forms will
bring a pivotal voice in the history of modern art into English.
