Résumé:

Exploring key works of art historians such as Aby Warburg, Wilhelm Worringer, and Alois Riegl, as well as architects and artists like Fernand Léger, Mies van der Rohe, and Salvador Dalí, this book tracks the evolution of the problem of animation from the fin de siècle through the twentieth century. It argues that empathy--the ability to identify with objects of the external world--was repressed by twentieth-century modernist culture, but it returned, projected onto inorganic objects such as machines, automobiles, and crystalline skyscrapers.
