Summary:

"In The Psychologizing of Modernity, Mark Jarzombek examines the impact of psychology on twentieth-century aesthetics. Analyzing the interface among psychology, art history, and avant-gardist practices, he also reflects on the longevity of the myth of aesthetic individuality as it infiltrated not only avant-grade art, but also history writing. The principal focus of this study is pre-World War II Germany, where theories of empathy and Entartung emerged; and postwar America, where artists, critics, and historians gradually shifted from their reliance on psychology to philosophy in search for more "objective" theorizing discourses."--Jacket.
