  • Descrição: This argument proceeds from the premise that the total work of art poses a number of questions that "run counter to key assumptions of aesthetic modernism, such as the separation and autonomy of the arts" (1). "Separation" and "autonomy" are, of course, terms that we most readily associate with the theorists of the Frankfurt School, and indeed the present work, though an entirely independent study, was conceived as the final part of a trilogy on aesthetic philosophy, the two previous parts being Art and Enlightenment: Aesthetic Theory after Adorno (1992) and Dialectic of Romanticism: A Critique of Modernism (2004, with Peter Murphy). In other words, at least parts of this work have been twenty years in the making, and the resulting book is very much shaped by this fact. To see the benefits of [David Roberts]'s long involvement with his subject, one only has to turn to the bibliography, which is impressively omnivorous and covers hundreds upon hundreds of sources in German, English, French, and Italian. Certain disadvantages are also apparent, however, for the study of European modernism has changed considerably over the past two decades, and Roberts does little to engage with recent trends. Few scholars now working in the field would still associate their work with the twin terms of "separation" and "autonomy," and modernist studies have been infinitely enriched by forays into popular culture, publishing and advertising history, minor-language literatures, and a host of other fields, all of which strongly contest the notion that modern art was ever as separate from the social world as some of its practitioners and early theorists loved to proclaim.
