Overview
Early writer on modern art in Germany; first to discus African art in aestheric terms and one of the first to connect it to Cubism.

Defense of the Real: Carl Einstein's History and Theory of Art
This study is designed as a focused intellectual biography of the German art critic and historian Carl Einstein (1885-1940). Its ambition is to retrieve what it argues is the profound coherence of Einstein's most important critical writings on the visual arts: the coherency of a political ontology that sought to think the aesthetic, its experience, and their history, as part of more fundamental yet thoroughly historical and agonistic struggles over the nature of the human subject, of its objects, and of the grounds on which they interact in time. That in Einstein's case this time should have been modernity has shaped the three main ambitions of this study: to retrace the intellectual coordinates of his ontology; to examine it in action in his art criticism; and to observe him extrude it backward in an effort to rewrite the history of art as a genealogy of the modern. Hence this study examines, first, how Einstein mined the work of thinkers like Nietzsche, Bergson, Mach, and Freud, in order to imagine how in a newly postmetaphysical world-the "real" of our title-a modern subject emerged out from under the ruins of older orders of being: a subject now embodied, decentered, and ever self-differentiat
