Résumé:
In this publication, 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-garde art, but also history writing. The principle 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, and most recently, to theory.

Résumé:
This book ''deconstructs'' a single recently constructed house located in Seattle, WA, in an attempt to recover its backstory. The information is presented along four vectors - atoms, labors, sources and ingredients. Though remarkably detailed, the book contends that a huge proportion of what we ''know'' about the house is unknowable, not because ou epistemological instruments aren't strong enough or calibrated precisely enough, but because things themselves are indeterminate, uncertain.

Résumé:
In The Psychologizing of Modernity, Mark Jarzombek examines the impact of psychology on twentieth-century aesthetics.

The principal focus of this study is pre-World War II Germany, where theories of empathy and Entartung emerged; and post-war America, where artists, critics and historians gradually shifted from their reliance on psychology to philosophy, and, most recently, to theory. Included are discussions of writers such as Heinrich Wölfflin, Ludwig Volkmann, John Dewey, Vincent Scully and Richard Arnheim, among others. The Psychologizing of Modernity is a broad and erudite study of the evolution of modern aesthetic thinking in the fields of art and architectural history. Chapter Contents Introduction; 1.
